Kudos From the Gatlinburg Fire Inspector
Last week, as part of the required annual inspection for Gatlinburg's Tourist Residency Permit, Fire Inspector Ralph Ramsey asked us if we did our own cleaning, or had a cleaning service. We introduced him to Steve and Serena Dunn of Dunn's Cleaning and Maintenance Service, who have been cleaning our rental units since May of 2011. Inspector Ramsey proceeded to compliment them and us for having "some of the cleanest rental properties I've seen". He told us that he inspects properties for 50 rental companies in Gatlinburg and "only 5 or 6 others are in the same category as yours".
We were so blown away! Cleanliness is THE most important aspect of our business, and we went through 4 cleaners in the year before finding Steve and Serena. We consider them a gift from God, and we're very grateful to have them!
