This was our second stay at the cottage and we enjoyed it just as much as we did the first time! We especially love the patio overlooking the river and the geese. The house is very clean and the location is great. Can’t wait to come back next year!

Cozy cabin that is perfectly situated off of the main road through downtown Gatlinburg. Private and relaxing with an easy walk or hop onto the Trolley into town. Clean, conformable, easy check in and check out and great host.

Ruth and her daughter were very accomodating. They let us know all of the check in info, and even let us check in early. The cottage on the river was very nice and we had everything that we needed. It was a short walk to downtown, so we didn't have to pay the 20.00 parking fees.We even had several visits from the bears, and one of them tried to help us cook on the grill.If there is any negative, it was the size of the bathroom. It was small and the tub was very deep making it hard for someone with short legs like mine to get in and out.The wifi was great and didn't miss a beat all week.We made reservations for next year and are already looking forward to it.

Wonderful stay at Aspen House

We always enjoy our stay at Aspen House. Everything we needed was provided and clean as a pin. Very close to downtown, actually within walking distance. No fighting traffic. And the house is right on the Little Pigeon River.

Fun hideaway

Very clean and relaxing! Lots of space and the whole house was just so cute! Definitely a long walk if looking for walkability. We still had to drive and park to be in the main gatlinburg strip.

Aspen House Gatlinburg

Beautiful older house in a great location with access to the river. Good size for 4 to 6 people, comfortable beds, and very clean. The only issue is that some of the electrical outlets are a little loose. Overall great value in walking distance of downtown.

Amazing cottage, with two nice bedrooms, a full kitchen, formal living room, glassed-in porch on the Little Pigeon River and strong wifi. Walking distance to all that Gatlinburg has to offer and very reasonably priced. Owner has strong communication, as well. A

Excellent Space

The house is very comfortable. We spent a lot of time in the sun porch. The sound of the river was soothing. It was calm enough at one point for a swim. A bear walked by! Beds and rooms were very comfortable. The location was perfect for walking to attractions such as Anakeesta and restaurants. If you like fish, The Trout House is very good. The Owner was great at responding to questions.
