We have been to Gatlinburg numerous times. This was the perfect location to all things downtown/walking distance, but you don't feel like you're right in the middle of it when you're at the room. The property was the perfect spot!

The condo is beautifully decorated and easily walkable to the parkway. Parking is plentiful and free. The bed was super comfy. Communication with the host was excellent. The outside of the building is a little dated but the interior more than makes up for it. The free event tickets was a nice touch!

About the host

Hosted by Laurie Sheinkopf

Host profile image
After transforming my first condo in this building, I couldn't pass up the opportunity when another unit came available. This time I had a clear vision from day one — I wanted to bring the spirit of the Smokies inside. Rustic, warm, and full of character. I put in gorgeous new floors, installed stunning custom wallpaper that sets the mood the moment you walk in, and added copper sinks and new vanities that give the space a feel you won't find anywhere else. The result is a one-bedroom that feels like it belongs in these mountains — cozy, beautiful, and just a 5-minute walk from all the magic of downtown Gatlinburg.

Why they chose this property

I had already transformed another unit in this building and knew the location was exceptional — a 5-minute walk to downtown Gatlinburg. When this unit became available, I bought it with a specific vision: to create something rustically inspired by the Smokies themselves. New floors, copper sinks, custom vanities, and stunning wallpaper. Every choice was intentional, designed to make guests feel connected to the mountains they came here to experience.

What makes this property unique

*23 FREE tickets to major attractions every day. i.e Dollywood, Anakeesta, Gatlinburg Sky bridge and more
*3 min walk to downtown Gatlinburg
*Completely remodeled
*Gorgeous copper sinks
*Complimentary coffee bar
*FREE parking
*FREE Wifi
*Smart TV's
