The place was immaculate and had gorgeous views. The stay was comfortable and was the perfect getaway for our family. It was very close to the national park and downtown Gatlinburg. The road to get up to the property was not for the faint of heart, very windy, narrow, and steep.

About the host

Hosted by Tom Poole

Host profile image
My wife Linda and I live in Bowling Green, KY about 5 hours away but we go to Gatlinburg every chance we get (we have local contacts see to any needs you have). We have co-owners Terry and Marilyn Leeper also of Bowling Green.
I am an artist and writer and will probably have some of my art at the house.

Why they chose this property

We love property. It feels very spacious and relaxing in a very quiet neighborhood. It has the perfect house plan. Lots of privacy. Great views from every room.

What makes this property unique

All of the bedrooms, the game room and the great room all have mountain views! The hot tub is very nice and there is a swing on that level. It is partially covered by the upstairs deck and is very relaxing. The two decks are connected with stairs.
