We are very sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your stay. We truly thought you were all having a great time. We try to be completely honest and accurate with our cabin description so that travelers can choose the right place for their stay. We want our guest to be happy with thier choice for their vacation. Unfortunately I think sometimes people book without reading the full description. It is accurately listed as 20 miles to Pigeon Forge and 30 miles to Gatlinburg. The traffic however gets very thick in the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg/Smokey Mountains region therefore causing delays. Note that According to National Geographic, the top 10 most visited National park in 2016 was: "1. GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS Ensconced at number one is Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which drew more than eleven million visitors last year—about twice the number of the second most popular park. Most visitors see the park from a mountain-skimming scenic highway; many take to the more than 800 miles of hiking trails across North Carolina and Tennessee." As far as no shower, we do have it listed that the bathroom has a jetted tub and then again added a special note as follows to be sure our guests are fully informed: -1 bathroom with Jetted Tub And again mentioned later as follows: (Note: No shower at this time but instead enjoy a nice jetted bath tub for soaking in) The tub does have a very large capacity and a former guest advised me to leave a note to make sure that people are aware fill it above the Jets before turning the pump on as well as starting with just hot water and monitoring the temperature as to be sure not to let the cold overtake the hot (and add more hot later on as needed) We also should've mentioned if running the washer on hot you may need to time it around bathing to allow re-heating. We do however intend to build an outdoor shower this summer and we are considering removing the jetted tub and replacing it with a shower (although we hate to sacrifice it because so many families have enjoyed it, especially the kids.) If we do proceed with this we intend to put a hot tub on the porch to make up the difference. We will update our site if that is the case As far as the neighborhood goes though, we have to disagree with you. Although there are lots of hills and twists and turns to get here, like most roads in East Tennessee, it is on a very private street with wonderful neighbors (who are also very welcoming to "Lil Pig" and his ventures). Like advertised it is getaway "from all the hustle and bustle of the city and away from all the local tourism" We also feel that it accomodates 4 just perfect as do many of the guests who have commented on how cozy it is and nice to be able to spend time together. It does have a fully open concept as the pictures show and 1 large bedroom with a King and Full bed with the beds being separated by a stairwell. Those looking for more privacy or seclusion would probably benefit from a larger home with private rooms. We the homeowners do live in an attached Suite / addition on the side of the house with a private entrance and private living quarters with complete privacy from each other. This was also made clear in the description. Again we are sorry that you were disappointed with your stay and we hope you're next adventurer goes better for you. Nevertheless you were great guests and you are welcome back at any time.
