just what i needed to have fun

It was close enough to the show and far enough away from the traffic that once I left the strip I had the chance to settle down and enjoy the quiet in the mountains.

GO JAGS!!

Outside property looked very nice. Entering onto the porch with rockers very inviting although to chilly to sit. Entering very cozy. 2 bedrooms with each a restroom makes it nice for multiple people. Eveything you would need in the kitchen. Back screened in patio with rockers would again been nice if better weather. Enjoyed our stay, great communication with property manager. Thank you very much. Will keep in mind for future visits to the area.

Great Cabin! Great Location!

This cabin was great for our Christmas trip! It was super clean and so warm and cozy! It’s in a perfect location! It’s away from the hustle and bustle but minutes away from “The Island” and all the activities around the island. It’s close to Target, Walmart, tons of food places and shops. It’s a very short drive to Dollywood and Gatlinburg! The host could not have been any friendlier and easily accessible! We would gladly stay here again! The Dunn’s

Wedding at Pigeon Forge

We loved the cabin. It was perfect for our long weekend stay for a wedding. The location was perfect. Right off the main highway from Seiverville to Gatlinburg. Close to everything. Kathy called and spoke to me personally prior to our stay to answer any questions I had. I highly recommend this cabin.

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Gothard

Host profile image
I am originally from western N.C. Now we live only a few miles away from the cabin. I enjoy being the host for American Gem because I am definitely a people person!

For years my in-laws traveled out West to dig rocks. Dad enjoyed cutting stones & making beautiful jewelry; mom enjoyed wearing it. They named their cabin American Gem because of their love for this great country and their wonderful hobby.

Why they chose this property

Buying this cabin was the fulfillment of a dream. They had a wonderful place to enjoy in the Smoky Mountains, and a place to share with others. They loved the quiet surroundings, the convenient location and the relaxed pace. Now they have passed on this blessing to their children, grandchildren & people like you to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

You will find that American Gem's screened back porch is most inviting. There is ample room to sit & relax. A picnic table sets outside by the porch. Within both bedrooms there is a jacuzzi tub in addition to their own individual bathroom. The cabin is roomy & cozy...We consider it a rare find with lots of TLC.
