Tennessee Cabin Rentals, Smoky Mountain Cabins - Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge Vacation

Putt-Putt’n for Education

Happy Camper — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 16:50:00 GMT

Team Mountain Rentals of Gatlinburg met at Old Gatlinburg Golf & Games for the 10th Annual Gatlinburg Chamber of Commerce Foundation Mini-Golf Tournament. The Tournament raises money for scholarships for graduating students and those seeking higher education in the Hospitality industry. The holes were tough and the competition was stiff, but our Team was determined to place in the Tournament. So after 36 holes of struggles and sizing up the competition they waited patiently for their names to be called, balloons to arrive and cheers from the crowd….. Place - they did WORST SCORE! We are so proud!

Policy Changes: By our Guests for our Guests

Happy Camper — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 18:47:00 GMT

It has come to our attention that having a minimum occupancy on some of our larger homes makes it difficult for some of our guests to book a property.
For example: one of our 3 bedroom homes had a minimum occupancy of three adults so you must add $15.00 to the base rate during peak times to rent this property.
One of our guests brought it to our attention that they should not have to pay for an extra adult when the home would suit 2 Adults & 2 Children perfectly.
Upon, reviewing this it made sense that of course some families would in fact have 2 children under the age of 12yrs., that would prefer to have a bedroom of their own, so a 2 bedroom would not be sufficient.

In response we have made the following policy change: All of our homes, regardless of size, will not require a minimum occupancy to be met.
The only time you will incur an additional $15.00 per night charge is when you indeed have more than 2 adults in your party. All of our base rates are set for 2 adults.
We are always looking for ways to improve our Guest Experience and we appreciate all of you who take time to work with us and make this possible!

Please NOTE: These policy changes apply to new reservations only made after August 31st, 2009.

Gatlinburg Cabins in Timberidge Community

Happy Camper — Tue, 12 May 2009 20:00:00 GMT

The Great Smoky Mountains are one of Tennessee’s most amazing natural attractions and we are celebrating the 75th Anniversary this year! A great way to spend a week is to visit the park, hike the trails and stay in an authentic log cabin packed with its own history. This is an experience that the whole family will enjoy. The cabins of Timberidge are unique properties that were built 200 years ago. These homes came from the mountains of East Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky and North Carolina. Each home was tagged, marked & disassembled to be resurrected in the Timberidge community located in the foothills of the Smokies. All of these homes have modern amenities and have been updated for your comfort, but still maintain the integrity of the structures built by steady hands long ago. The craftsmanship is still visible and the new owners have taken great care, so that each detail fits beautifully in the home. These homes are on large lots so you are nestled among the trees in a community that treasures the past and specializes in creating memories for generations to come…. Explore the cabins of Timberidge today!

Two Night Cabin Rentals Reservations

Happy Camper — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 20:46:00 GMT

So it has been awhile since we have posted, but it has been a little hectic. Today we are getting snow, its cold and this is supposed to continue for a couple of days. This is the time to stay inside with a cup of hot chocolate or hit the slopes at Ober Gatlinburg … those are the only options! It is gorgeous to see snow on the Smoky Mountains though.

Anyway, back to business.

We have opened up two night advanced reservations on our website - www.MountainChalets.com. In the past we had only accepted 2 night reservations within 21 days of arrival, but we realize with the current economic situation we find ourselves in sometimes 2 days is all you can afford to be gone. Also, we thought this would be a great way for our guests to accumulate Guest Appreciation Points so you may earn FREE nights that can be used during family vacation time in Gatlinburg. Sometimes you just need a short getaway to take a breath and relax before facing the week that lies ahead.
Also, if you have a particular cabin rental or week you prefer you might want to get those reservations early, so it does not get booked. Since two night stays may be booked in advance, we don’t want your usual stay to be interrupted by another reservation.

Gatlinburg Cabin Rentals Help

Happy Camper — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 12:41:00 GMT

What if something is broken, not working properly or you think a critter is after your groceries??!!!

That is where Mountain Rentals of Gatlinburg (or any good management company) comes in. All you have to do is call us and we will take care of any issues ranging from missing/broken darts, a broken stove to housekeeping issues. Our staff members are here to support you during your stay so you leave with nothing but fond family memories! Cabins are homes just like yours and there can be problems that arise during your stay. Our staff is discouraged from watching TV, using remotes and cooking while at work, so if the previous guest didn’t tell us the stove was broken we cannot fix it.

The bottom line: If you need anything during your stay call us and we will do our best to fix the problem or find you a comparable home if the problem is beyond our control. We know when choosing your cabin you spend lots of precious time searching for the perfect home for your vacation. Cabin Rentals are great for families who want to experience the tranquil Smoky Mountains in a peaceful setting. They save you money on dining out and with the amenities such as pool tables and other fun games you can spend time at the cabin without the cabin fever!

Just remember just because you are not at a hotel does not mean you cannot call the front desk - Toll FREE 1-866-482-1044.

Guest Appreciation Points

Happy Camper — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 12:27:00 GMT

We started our Guest Appreciation program in March of 2007 and have had a great response. This program allows all of our guests to create their own accounts and accumulate MRG Points so they may earn free nights with us. We just want to thank all of our loyal customers that stay with us and recommend Mountain Rentals of Gatlinburg. I have noticed recently that many of our guests have started to redeem their points for 2 FREE nights on their reservations – I hope this program has been easy to use and allows you to spend more time enjoying all that Gatlinburg and the Smoky Mountains have to offer!

Now is a great time for families to get out to the Smokies. The weather is divine and as always the mountains are breathtaking!
If you are looking for some great entertainment that won’t break the bank Smoky Mountain Tunes & Tales™ will be running all summer in downtown Gatlinburg. This is FREE entertainment on the main strip where performers are dressed in costumes that depict different time periods and provide you with traditional mountain music, clogging, storytelling and much more. The performers arrive to different areas of the main strip in Gatlinburg by horse and carriage (which we are proud to help sponsor) and the entertainment is continuous from 5pm – 10pm each night.

I love this event because it adds such an amazing atmosphere to the streets of Gatlinburg. This is such a fun place and I feel that Smoky Mountain Tunes & Tales™ event just adds extra excitement during the summertime. Smoky Mountain Tunes & Tales™ is a great experience for the youngest family member to the young at heart!
