About the host
Hosted by Laurie
Our family loves to hike the Great Smokey Mountains along with tube the rivers. We really enjoy the Gatlinburg area. We have sat outside and enjoyed watching the lighting bugs in the evenings. Along with watched the 4th of July parade which Gatlinburg has the FIRST 4th of July parade to take place in the USA it literally starts at midnight on 4 July but so well worth it.
Why they chose this property
We love staying where the mountains surround us and were we feel close enough to Gatlinburg to see the sights and eat at the restaurants but a little outside of the down town so we can enjoy the beautiful nature that draws us to the area.
What makes this property unique
Our Property is unique due to the mountain stream running through the complex yes right through! We also love that the pool is close enough that we can literally walk out the door and be at the pool its great for our kids too. Its a cozy condo and makes us feel like we are camping in the beautiful mountains with all the amenities.
