About the host

Hosted by Owner/Property Manager

Host profile image
We started coming to the Smokies in 2006 and have come back every year since. We finally decided this is where we want to spend our retirement. But we still have some years until that happens so we decided to buy a cabin ourselves, With the hopes of staying and sharing it with others until we make the big move for good. We love everything about Tennessee & are so happy to share it with you

Why they chose this property

We chose this cabin in Gatlinburg because we love being close to the town and all the festivals and action, yet we are in in a private area secluded and surrounded by nature. You get the best of both worlds. We have been visiting Gatlinburg for 10 years now and there is always new and old things we cant wait to do each time we are here. You will love the area and all the things to do.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this home because of how private the location is yet you are 5 minutes to town. The cabin decks are a great place to sit with your morning coffee and breathe the mountain air. Being minutes to both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg and in the middle of nature its truly a wonderful place to relax and unwind
