New Years at "Comin' Home" (Gardendale, AL) - 1/5/2012
My husband and I stayed at Comin' Home several years ago and loved it. After hearing about the New Year festivities that Gatlinburg has every year, we decided to come back and bring our children. We made sure to book early so that we could stay at Comin' Home again, because we enjoyed the cabin so much. Just as last time, we loved the cabin and had a great stay! The cabin is so quiet and peaceful, which is what we love so much about it. It also has plenty of room, so that you feel like you are at home. There were two minor things that could be improved. The first was that there was not enough hot water. I don't recall having this problem last time, so I'm not sure if a new water heater has been put in or why there was a problem this time. The jacuzzi was pretty much unusable because there was not enough hot water to fill it up. If no other water had been used for a while, then you could barely get it just past the jets, so that you could at least get in, but it wasn't enough water to be able to relax in. We would also run out of hot water if more than 2 people tried to take showers right after each other (even very short showers), or if you tried to wash dishes or clothes while taking a shower. The second issue was that they changed the bathrooms since the last time we were there. They took one of the showers (which I believe had a tub as well) out. That leaves the cabin with only one shower (and a VERY tiny one at that), and no bath tub (besides the jacuzzi) which is too large to try to bath a toddler in, or to jump in if you are trying to get ready quickly. These were both just very minor inconveniences though, just thought the info may want to be passed along for the owner to think about. Despite those things, we had a WONDERFUL stay, and would definitely come again if the opportunity arises. And as always, our experience with Mountain Rentals was fabulous. The website is easy to use, the service is fast, and the prices are the best around!
