CABIN RENTAL CHOICES: Are the owners working for you?
Why you might not want a cabin owned from far, far away
So, you walk into somebody's cabin, carefully chosen for the big family (or whatever) getaway, and you soon feel like an intruder. This is obviously someone else's personal getaway spot, and, in order to manage their monthly payments, they grudgingly allow you to rent it. So, maybe it's clean...or maybe not. How long's it been since that hot tub was drained? Is it cluttered with the owners "stuff" ... all making you feel like an interloper? Like you shouldn't touch?
Since most rental cabins in the Smokies are folks' second homes, it happens...a lot.
Or, you can rent from someone whose goal is to make you happy...someone who is really pleased to have you there because they have been working toward that goal, not toward their own vacation. Someone who is local, spends time improving, updating, and (This Is Important) cleaning. Someone ready to help you, because they don't live three states away, if you need anything.
