About this property
Stay in a Vintage Gatlinburg Motel! Now Pet Friendly!
The Fox Den is a 2 bedroom 2 bath Vintage Motel apartment. It was originally the owners house of the Fox Motel built in 1950s by our Grandparents that we have redone and converted to a nightly rental. An amazing location with less than a 1/4 mile walk to downtown Gatlinburg shops and restaurants with a Trolley stop in front of the building. Watch the Gatlinburg parades for Christmas and July 4th from the patio at the front of our plaza! The building was designed by Hubert Bebb (a student of Frank Lloyd Wright) and is one of the few remaining vintage motels in Gatlinburg. It has been remodeled for your comfort while keeping as much original as possible to give you the experience of 'Olde Gatlinburg Charm'. Decorated with a vintage/boho/eclectic theme, local arts and crafts, and rustic touches make this a unique rental. Fox (of Cherokee origin) was our Grandparent's last name and we've kept their legacy of hospitality intact by continuing to welcome guests to our place of happy memories!

About the host
Hosted by Scott Smith
We (Robin, April, Scott and Rodney) are the grandchildren of Amos and Murrell Reagan Fox, the original owners of the Fox Motel. Our Grandmother Murrell Reagan Fox is a direct descendant of Martha Jane Huskey Ogle, the original founder of White Oak Flats (Gatlinburg). We inherited part of the property from our mothers (Kathy Daniels and Libby Smith) and purchased the remainder from our Aunt Frances Shambaugh. Frances is well known in Gatlinburg Craft Community for her weaving. We have so many wonderful memories of Gatlinburg and Fox Motel growing up and are so excited to be able to share this special property!
