Reviews are very important for renters and landlords. I feel it is important to be honest and fair, so I will share all our group loved and the things that need attention. First, the things we loved: location, layout, well equipped and modern kitchen, comfortable beds, TV’s in all bedrooms, bathroom for each bedroom, overall style of the decorations/decor, and tour/restaurant recommendations and responsiveness of owner as we had questions. Overall, this is a pretty good option for those visiting The Ryman and tourist sites downtown with just a 3 mile drive.
Now for the cons. I hate sharing cons, and I will share the owner offered to send the cleaning crew back when I alerted him to the issues. However, we were only there three days in all and had just a day and a half left. The issues were more maintenance related than cleaning. Initially, I was just going to let the owner know, but then I saw all of these issues were reported last May and July. They have not been addressed yet 9 months later. Issues include: mildewed/torn outdoor furniture cushions, mildew/rust on shower curtain liner, curtain, and curtain rod, dented end tables on the main floor, scratched up floors from chairs, marks on walls/steps going to bedrooms (risers), painting incomplete (owner said it’s in process), and one thing owner can’t control…parking. It is very tight and as others noted, not good for anything bigger than small SUV. We fit 3 vehicles with really careful parking.
We did appreciate the doughnuts sent over this morning, and we did have a nice time together. Despite these issues, it is a great condo for 8 or so people. My favorite area is the deck and movie room.
