All of the solid waste in Sevier County is taken to the Sevier Solid Waste Compost Plant for sorting and composting, so there is no need to separate trash at each property. You can find out more about Sevier County's  recycling program at these links:

​

🔷 Why no certain utensil / small appliance?
Rest assured - we had it stocked. However, utensils & equipment get broken or misplaced. If no one reports it missing, and the cleaning crew does not realize that it is not there, it is not replaced. If you find something missing, please let us know - we may be able to replace the item during your stay! We stock common utensils and small appliances. A hand mixer, blender, toaster, can opener, coffee maker (Keurig and regular style), and iron are all standard. 

​

🔷 Are hair dryers provided?
Yes - Hair dryers are included and located in each bathroom, if you can’t find one, please let us know as they have been known to disappear.

​

🔷 Can we do laundry at the cabins?

Yes - The cabin has a stacked washer and dryer unit.

 

🔷 Do we need to bring linens, towels, or pillows?

We provide all the basic necessities. All the beds will be made with white percale sheets, pillows, blankets, and decorative quilts & shams.  An adequate supply of bath towels and washcloths are provided.  If your stay is lengthy and you need fresh towels, please use the cabin's washer & dryer. We recommend you bring beach towels for hot tub and pool use. 

* Exception: Guests wishing to use the twin beds in the loft at Sherwood Dream need to bring their own bedding or sleeping bags.

​

🔷 Are there certain times of the year that I cannot use the gas fireplace?

The gas fireplaces are operational from mid-September through the end of April.
During the warmer months (May through mid-September), our gas fireplaces are disabled. Operation of gas fireplaces during warm months can lead to an air conditioning failure.

 

🔷 Do you decorate your cabins for the holidays?
Yes, we do some decorating for the fall months of September & October. 

We decorate for Christmas around the 2nd week of November with various decor, lighted garlands and a full-size Christmas tree.

​

🔷 Bugs / Ladybugs
Our cabins are proactively treated monthly by a professional pest control service. Insects just find their way inside no matter what we do. Even after the cabin is cleaned, it can take only a few hours for bugs/ladybugs to appear. Of course, they get trapped and die inside. This is especially prevalent in spring as they emerge and then again in fall when it gets colder outside. An expectation of completely insect-free environment is probably reasonable in a high-rise beachfront condo, but not in a cabin in the middle of the woods. Ladybugs (actually, Asian Lady Beetle) are harmless if not touched and can just be disposed of.

​

🔷 Carpenter bees / Woodpeckers / Wasps 

  • If you happen to see any carpenter bees (big loud black bees), please understand that they are harmless to humans. They make a lot of noise and may hover around humans, but they do not have stingers. However, they do damage wood by boring holes in which to lay their eggs.  

  • Woodpeckers will sometimes find an untreated carpenter bee hole and tear open the wood to get to the bee larvae. This is a common problem that cabin owners deal with every year.

  • Wasps sometimes try to make their nests on cabins just like any other home... usually under the roof overhangs and eaves. We try to keep up as much as we can, but they are often much faster than we are. Please let us know if you happen to see an active wasp nest so that we can notify our pest control service.

​

🔷 Where can I rent a crib, high chair, scooter, or wheelchair?

Here are some resources that other owners have recommended to us. Check out their websites.​

​

🔷 Where can we go fishing?
Great Smoky Mountains National Park has about 2,900 miles of streams within its boundaries, and protects one of the last wild trout habitats in the eastern United States. The park offers a wide variety of angling experiences from remote, headwater trout streams to large, cool-water small mouth bass streams. Fishing with a license is permitted in all streams year-round in the park, from 30 minutes before official sunrise to 30 minutes after official sunset.

The closest fishing to our cabins is a catch & release pond at Big Rock Dude Ranch.  www.horseridingbigrock.com/Pond.php
