Relaxing Weekend in Pigeon Forge
A group of college friends in our 50s spent a long weekend at Crestview Estate, and truly enjoyed our time at the property. The venue is spacious and well-appointed for such a large property, with adequate bedrooms and a truly enormous porch area, which we utilized extensively. Check-in was a breeze, and we had no problems communicating with the owners during both the lead up to our trip and during our stay. We also appreciate the small, make-shift fire pit surrounded by comfortable chairs, which we used extensively during our stay.
Having said that, the property does have a few shortcomings associated with property age and wear-and-tear. For starters, the porch area has seen better days: many of the exterior stone pillars are crumbling and numerous boards are warped beyond repair. Secondly, most of the bedrooms feature large windows, but absolutely no curtains; while this was wonderful during the day, it made for a very early wake-up call most mornings, as sunlight streamed into the rooms starting around 6:30am.
Lastly, we found a number of aspects simply quite dated. The grill is largely rusted out and difficult to control, the numerous TVs were difficult to connect with and lacking remotes, and the ping-pong table was unusable, due to a broken net. These oversights were minor in the big scheme of things, but considering the elevated price point of this rental, they were certainly surprising. But with a little TLC, Crestview could again be a prized destination.
