Annual spring getaway

Our group of eight family and friends had an absolute marvelous time in Gatlinburg. The house was wonderful with lots of room. We enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings. The bedrooms were very nice as were the rooms we gathered in. My only suggestion would be to perhaps provide a small dresser for the bedrooms, as we each had a weeks worth of clothing and it was kind of difficult to live out of suitcases

Relaxing time away

Halibut is a busy little town. It was nice to have a house close by and not pay for parking. The trolley stops were close enough that our parents could walk. The house is exactly as described. Lots of room to spread out for the ten of us. Please be aware, the kitchen is furnished with pots, pans, dishes and glasses but not any seasonings, oil, napkins., etc. R found that we needed to get some basics for our week long stay.

Comfortable beds and lots of space

We had a large group, but there was more than enough space. We never felt like we were on top of each other. The house is conveniently located within walking distance of Gatlinburg. And very close to a sports park with basketball, tennis and pickle ball courts. And of course there are lots of trails to choose from for hiking in the mountains. The area is beautiful. And we had a mama bear with 4 cubs stroll by the house everyday. They were fun to watch!

Great cabin!

We loved the cabin. Some things to note: while it is close to downtown and walkable, there is a steep hill on the way back that might be hard for some people to climb. Please get bigger towels. The hairdryer would only work on low. One of the bedrooms didnā€™t have a door. The cabin is so cute and clean. We enjoyed the pool table. Also the kitchen is Very well stocked. Loved the back porch. All in all we had a wonderful stay. We do recommend this cabin.

Great location for group adventure

Great location! We walked to ā€œthe stripā€ several times and enjoyed dinner out four evenings. Additionally, we enjoyed the SkyBridge adventure twice. Gatlinburg is beautiful. > we had seven ladies, we never ran out of hot water and the water pressure in the showers was awesome!! > the house is nicely decorated and the kitchen is well stocked with all the cooking utensils needed. We cooked breakfast in and packed our lunches for daily hikes in the mountains. > the hot tub was nice for after hiking relaxation and there was plenty of seating inside and out. > all the queen and king sized beds were very comfortable and nicely appointed. > the house is very clean - > thank you for promptly addressing the hair dryer. It was cold in the morning the first few nights and dry hair was a necessity early in the morning for our hikes in the beautiful Smoky Mountains

About the host

Hosted by Dan and Jenna Hammonds

Host profile image
Hi, Our names are Dan and Jenna. We were born and raised in East Tennessee and have always loved Gatlinburg and The Smoky Mountains! We have been married for 23 years and have four children. We enjoy traveling and spending time together as a family! Our daughters play volleyball, so we spend most of our afternoons watching them play! We love to go to Gatlinburg and eat at our favorite restaurants and enjoy the beautiful mountains.

We own long term rentals and decided to venture into the short term rental market. After a very short time as hosts, we decided to continue to grow our business in Gatlinburg. We love being hosts and enjoy interacting with our guests. We know as a family with multiple children how important vacations are and strive for all of our guests to have a wonderful experience in Gatlinburg.

Why they chose this property

Location to downtown is a big perk for those looking to spend time on the main strip of Gatlinburg. The property is also close to the national park entrance.
