Mountain Views at Dolly's Castle Unit 1

Clean and comfortable

The noise from people in the unit above me

The smell of the mold was too much to handle. We had to leave early. The hand rail in the stairwell was zip tied in place. Not very god maintenance at this property

The host didn’t send me the correct door code and was put off by me calling to request the correct code. She was too busy at her child’s soccer game to be bothered. I never entered the property and she still Charged me a cancellation fee. Terrible.

Beautiful location, beautiful views! Loved the rooms! Management was very accommodating!

Loved the privacy, the view, and the comfort. Felt like we were at home, away from home LOL. Plus it was close enough to town we could go do things there but also far enough where we didn’t have the chaos of town.

We loved the property the only thing we didn’t like was the drive up the mountain but if you want to stay on the mountain that is what you’ll have.

The water when running the tub had a pretty sad sulfur smell

You can tell a lot of love has gone into the property. Overall very clean. Owner was incredibly responsive. Well decorated and incredible views.

Just by looking at the photos you can see you will likely need to go up stairs as it’s a multilevel unit. Unit 1 is actually below ground level and you have to go down 2 sets of steps for a total of 8-10 stairs. It had been recently power washed and still smelled a bit damp. The owner quickly offered to change units after requesting photos to substantiate issue and we went to unit 3 which was ground level. Moving all our stuff back up the steps wasn’t ideal, but it was necessary. Unit 3 had no smell and was very clean inside as well. I would recommend the owner spend a night on the mattress and think they would purchase a new one. Had we not reserved 3 nights we prob would have found somewhere with more comfortable beds and we contemplated leaving early. The full size mattress was thin and just not comfortable and I changed the sheets as the ones were a little suspect. The shower drain was clogged and the water has a distinct well water smell too which was bad since I didn’t want to wash my hair in the water and TN is hot! I was so happy there was another set of sheets in the room, but not what unexpected to do after a long day of driving and hanging out in PF and Gatlinburg. Also, 11 miles in mountain time is 33 minutes minimum which is how long it took to get to Pigeon Forge. This is the very last property on a mostly one lane windy road that would likely be difficult to traverse without 4WD in the winter. We also saw a black bear on the property one night which we thought was cool! But be careful leaving food in your car and check your surroundings! You can tell a lot of love has been put into this place, but could use a few more upgrades.
