Great location, close to town and tons of privacy. This resort is located in a gated community, so there is no traffic going past your cabin. We have small children so this was a huge priority to us; there was a ton of space for them to play and explore. The cabins are very private and have a beautiful view of the mountains. If you have been to Gatlinburg before, you know that several of the cabins/resorts are located on major roads or hills in which it is too dangerous for small children. We stayed at the Kangaroo Hut which was clean and had more than enough space for our family of 5. It also had a hot tub and air hockey that the kids loved. All the bedrooms had their own tv's so no fighting over who wants to watch what. We drove 1 mile down the hill from our cabin and rode the trolley into town so we did not have to worry about parking..very convenient! Then we used the grill at our place to make burgers and hotdogs and even smores! It was so much fun! We will be back here next summer for sure!
Unfortunately, I have never stayed at a cabin to compare it to but I think this place has some room to improve. We did like the location in the woods but there was a lot of contruction going on. I also think for the price they could have corrected the fine details before we got there (missing dart tips, no shampoo was provided, furniture was really weathered, pool was closed, some lights weren't working, fireplace wasn't working) that could have made our stay more enjoyable. We still enjoyed our stay for the most part but i think in several years this place will be better and these are just a few things to improve upon.
The cottage was very comfortable. Wifi, hot tub, Jacuzzi tubs all worked great. Convenient location to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.
The cabin was the best part of my stay! (Since Labour day weekend had streets packed with cars moving at 20 mph). We were a party of 11 staying at Walkabout Way. The cabin was exactly like the photos. maybe better. Our hot tub was dirty but they fixed it as soon as we told them. There was no restriction on check in time. The roads leading there are sure steep and not for a new driver. There are a lot of rules around the cabin but I have lived in other cabins and they have it too. We booked not too much in advance and yet got a pretty cheap deal of 720$ for two nights for a huge 4 bedroom cabin. This is probably the cheapest around there.
The resort as a whole was a little lacking. We have never rented a cabin and never been to Gatlinburg but the grounds seemed to be under a lot of construction with a lot of new cabins going in. The pool was closed and we had to drive 15 minutes to a different location to use a pool which was challenging to find because they couldn't provide an address.
I recently stayed at the Outback Rentals & Resort for an extended weekend with my family. We stayed in the Wallaby and while I admit the cabin is beautiful, I was all around disappointed in the Outback. We arrived Friday night and the place didn't look to be cleaned and bugs were everywhere. Ladybugs were all over the floors and we had to wear shoes at all times not to step on them with bare feet. There was a sign in the cabin regarding the ladybugs infestation, but that is not the only bugs we had. We looked through the cabin to find wasps, huge crickets and spiders were in the tub, sink and corners of rooms. I immediately called the office. They left me a voice mail the next morning informing me they had an exterminator come earlier in the week and the bugs were dying around the cabin because of that. They said they would send someone to clean it up if I just left the key in the security box. We tried to leave a key in the security box, but could not get it to work. So we were going to leave it at the gate office. I went to the gate office to find no one on staff during “office hours” and the sign said open. I called the office line and no one answered. So I waited 30 minutes and still no one showed up. I left them another voice mail explaining the situation and no one returned my call. The cleaning crew left a note on my door saying they could not come in and clean without the key. Would you not think the resort would have a spare they could give to the cleaning crew? Well I guess if they don’t plan on actually being on-site and working office hours then it would be our responsibility to let the cleaning crew in….Needless to say I was thoroughly disappointed to sleep in a dirty, bug infested cabin again. Office staff never reached out to me and we checked out on Monday. I will not be returning to the Outback Resort and Rentals and would tell you to save your money. There are resorts with cleaner cabins and better customer service in Gatlinburg.
When we booked through outback rentals there website wasnt displaying the days available correctly so when we called the representative who assist us and was very helpful. She helped us find a cabin during the time we were going and made accommodationsure for our dog. We ended up booking and staying at the kangaroo cabin which had enough rooms for the 2 adults and 3 teenagers we had. The cabin was nice and clean but some of the furniture was really weathered and used and the dart board had no tips so it was unusable. The beds were noisy and there were bats in the attic which we didn't hear until the second night but made us a little worried.
The view was very very nice but because of the high hill we didn't have a lot of accessible grass for our dog so she relaxed on the deck a lot.
