If you chose not to do Express Check-In, please remember to bring all payment credit cards and your driver’s license with you to check in. Remember our office is at 1440 Upper Middle Creek Rd., Sevierville, TN 37876

Express Check-In does not guarantee an early check-in. Check-in begins at 4 p.m. It may take up to 24 hrs before we can enter your information, so please only call us if you have not received your map within 36 hours of faxing/emailing. If you have any further questions, please feel free to call us at (888) 329-0907 during normal business hours.

Check-in begins at 4 pm. If you arrive early, you may have to wait to check in if your cabin is not ready. If you will be arriving after 6 pm, call (888) 329-0907 and get late arrival instructions. Late arrival should be avoided if possible and can only be allowed for guests that have provided copies of the payment credit card and driver’s license along with the signed guest agreement. All documents must be returned before our office closes on the day of arrival.

During peak weekends, busy times of the year and inclement weather conditions, your check-in time may be delayed. We strive to get you in your cabin by 4 pm.

We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Our cabins are to be used for the enjoyment of our guests and NOT to be used for parties. “Disturbing the Peace” may result in eviction and a damage fee charged. No campers or camping on the grounds of a cabin will be allowed.

Our cabins provide ample parking for standard automobiles. Parking on streets is illegal except where designated. Notice to our guests bringing trailers or campers: Due to the mountain topography and limited parking, it can be difficult to find parking for trailers or large vehicles. We are sorry, but parking of guest vehicles at the Timber Tops office is not possible and cannot be accommodated.

The elevation varies from cabin to cabin. If you are renting a cabin with a spectacular view, you will have to drive up a mountain road. Reservationists can instruct you if four-wheel drive is needed to access some of our cabins.

The Great Smoky Mountains has become a popular vacation destination and has grown very quickly. Part of this growth is cabin construction. Top Luxury Cabin Rentals is not affiliated with any construction companies, and unfortunately they are not obligated to inform us when they are building a new cabin. We try to inform guests at time of booking if we are aware of construction near the cabin they are staying at. However, we do not give any refunds or discounts for construction near any Top Luxury managed cabin. We apologize, but these are circumstances beyond our control.

When you enter your cabin, the refrigerator will be clean and empty. Placing your personal food that may have warmed since the time you purchased it will cause the refrigerator to work very hard. You can determine if the refrigerator is working by checking the freezer. If the freezer is working, it may take the while for the refrigerator to catch up. This process could take several hours. If the freezer is not working, call the guest services desk as soon as possible so that a repair service can be called.

All trash is removed by Top Luxury Cabin Rentals from each unit at the end of each reservation. Please do not allow outside containers to overflow due to bear & animal problems. Please call us during your stay by noon the day of if you need a trash pick-up, (888) 329-0907.

Though all units are sprayed regularly by a professional pest control company, ladybugs, wasps, other insects, and sometimes bears visit cabins. In the event of a major infestation, the office will call maintenance or pest control to attempt to solve the problem.

Top Luxury Cabin Rentals does everything possible to keep all equipment in good working order. It is impossible to guarantee that all appliances, hot tubs, hot water heaters, fireplaces, home media centers, internet/Wi-Fi, etc will be in working order 100% of the time. We do guarantee to make every effort to correct all deficiencies as soon as possible. Management reserves the right to perform exterior and/or interior maintenance during your stay. In the event maintenance must be performed, we will do our best to do so without inconvenience to you. Your silence indicates full acceptance of the unit and its condition.

Please call our office if you have questions regarding the operation of your hot tub. While not using the hot tub, please keep the cover locked and closed. Do not sit or stand on the cover. Prior to your arrival, all hot tubs have chemicals replenished and filled if needed.

Top Luxury Cabin Rentals offers a special class of cabins that offer indoor swimming pools. These pools are checked every 3 days. If you are not in your cabin when the pool is serviced, maintenance staff will leave a door tag letting you know they have serviced the pool. The pool temperature is set by the pools manufacturer to be between 77 and 84 degrees. If water has to be added to the pool, it may take up to 4 hours for the pool to recover to its factory set temperature. Pools cannot be drained and chlorine is used to keep the pools clean.

Chalet Village Clubhouse Pools require a pass for a guest to use the amenities. Chalet Village supplies each cabin with one and charges $50.00 for a replacement.

The pool passes are available through us upon check-in for use during your stay at no charge up front. The pass must be returned to our office upon departure. If the pass is not returned to our office on the date of check-out, we will charge the $50.00 fee from Chalet Village to the credit card on file for a replacement.

We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation.

Please note that smoking/vaping is strictly forbidden in all our properties. Guests may utilize the porches and outside areas only where sand buckets have been provided. There is a $200 fine for smoking/vaping inside any cabin.

Fireplaces are turned off between April 1st – October 1st.

Many of our cabins allow you to bring your pets with you on vacation. In order to continue to do this, we must ask your cooperation with the following policies:

  1. Pets are not allowed on neighboring properties.
  2. Pets must be on a leash when being exercised.
  3. Pets are only allowed on specific trails in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.
  4. Great care should be taken to prevent a pet from straying. Many pets are lost each year. In strange surroundings, pets will become disoriented and lost. We require that all pets left alone in a cabin must be in a pet crate.
  5. A maximum of 2 (dogs only) allowed with a maximum weight of 25 pounds per dog. In the event any damage is done to the cabin, you will be responsible for any and all costs.
