When can we check into our cabin?

Our check-ins begin after 4:00pm. We try to have all cabins ready for check-in at that time. In rare occasions, circumstances beyond our control delay that check-in time slightly. But rest assured, you will be able to check into your cabin as soon as we know the cabin is clean and has been inspected.

When do we need to check out of our cabin?

Checkout time is 10:00am. We have a very high standard of cleanliness that we demand of our housekeeping staff. In order to provide you with cabins that meet our standards, they must have ample time to thoroughly clean each cabin between guests, therefore we must enforce our checkout time.

What is provided in the cabins?

All of our cabins are fully furnished with luxury amenities. All linens, bedding, pots, pans, dishes and utensils are provided for your convenience. We also provide a starter packet of paper products that includes toilet tissue, paper towels, dishwasher soap, shampoo/conditioner, lotion, and bath soap. These items are intended as "starter" items and will not be adequate for lengthy stays.

What should we bring with us?

We suggest you bring along a few items to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Since we only provide a starter packet of paper items we suggest you bring along an additional supply of toilet tissue, paper towels, dishwasher soap, shampoo/conditioner, lotion, and bath soap. We also suggest beach towels for use at our pool and hot tubs. Extra towels are not provided by Eden Crest. Since our area is in the mountains of East Tennessee the elevation causes us to have cool evenings… a jacket is suggested even in the middle of summer.

Do the cabins have maid service?

We do not include maid service with our normal rental. Cabin rental companies typically do not include this service. We will however provide full maid service, upon request, for an additional fee. Ask your reservationist to quote the current rates based on your cabin size and length of stay.
