Smoky Mountains Cabins | Tennessee Cabin Rentals - Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, TN: Active Threads

Neither of us drive can we still come?

honeymooner2b — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 10:53:20 GMT

Hi there,

I'm getting married this December and My Fiance and I are going to New York for the first part of our honeymoon. We really want to come to Gatlinburg and stay in a log cabin but neither of us drive. Is it at all possible to still come and enjoy the area? What cabins would be most suited to us if any?

Journey's End Cabin at Beech Branch

Vicky T — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 19:48:48 GMT

This was our first visit to Gatlinburg TN.
We were very, very pleased with our stay at Journey's End Cabin.
The mountain view from the cabin is spectacular!
The cabin is very clean, not the least bit shabby or worn out.
We could tell alot of thought and care went into the cabin's decor.
It's decorated like somebody's quaint country home.
Even champagne flutes and wine glasses are provided.
It was almost perfect except for the hard mattress which one typically finds in most chain motels.
I woke up every morning with a lower backache. Next time I go I will bring a thick foam mattress pad.
The driveway is very steep but believe or not your car will make it up (in first gear)!
I suggest arriving before dark your first day, especially flatlanders not use to such steep grades.
We will return again and want to give a very special thanks to the owners who created this little piece of heaven.

Conlon's View

Stayed there over the weekend of Aug 13th thru the 16th. The location was great however i believe this chalet could benefit from some updates.The restroom on the lower floor needed a new toliet seat cause it is pitted with holes and the carpet thru the whole house was old and dirty. The hot tub is only a 2-3 person and for a three bedroom chalet it needs a larger one. On the last night we were there the hot tub quit working and were not able to get it working again. It was a big disappointment for our last night there. Also the view on the MRG web site of the chalet overlooking the park needs to be updated. The trees need to be trimed back to have a more acurate view. The web site pic is old and the current view is not all that great now.

My first time in Gatlinburg TN

florida girl — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 22:01:13 GMT

Hello everyone this will be my first Thanksgiving in the Gatlinburg area. We have spent several years in NC, Beech Mnt area and love it but thought we would try somewhere else. Im not sure what to expect with the weather and I would like some suggestions on where to take a 10 year old boy and a 16 year old girl. Keep in mind we are in a recession and I would like to do this trip on a budget.

Thanks!

Sweet Surender in Beech Branch

iamsam64 — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 19:21:53 GMT

We stayed in this cabin in June of 2008. Nice and secluded, easy access to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Back roads to get to cabin without using the major roads and easy access to bypass to the national park. Great view of the mountains, 1 bedroom in loft, 2 bath, 2 jacuzzi's 1 in loft bedroom 1 on deck, nice kitchen, 2 cable tv's, charcoal grill in driveway. The uper jacuzzi was nice with a picture window to see the mountains. My only complaints are, the decks, there are 2 or wrap around, one side had nothing, no furniture, no grill, no hammock, no table not even a chair, I thought this was a waste for such a big space. The other side did have 2 wood chairs, little table, swing and a jacuzzi. The toaster and coffee maker we outdated, no hotpads, not many kitchen untencels, small coffe table in living room, air conditioning was 10 degrees hoter upstairs in loft, loft jacuzzi cycled the jets on and off 5 minutes on and 5 off? A gas grill on the un-used deck and some chairs or hammock would have been real nice. Other than that, it was OK.

HIKING THE GREAT SMOKIES

hikethesmokies — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 00:37:38 GMT

We have hiked in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park for over 10 years now once or twice each year.. It is always exciting to return to the area knowing there is always a new, or old favorite trail to hike. We have logged over 200 miles of hiking the trails of the Great Smoky Mountains.

Around each bend, across each creek, old growth forest or historic cabin to visit, there is nothing like the Great Smoky Mountains. We try to start each hike with a visit to the Sugerlands visitor center, our favorite place to brouse and shop while visiting the Smoky Mountains. There are so many items pertaining to the past and present history of the smokies. We have bought honey, blackberry jam, books, maps, cd's, shirts, jackets and souveniors for us, our kids and grandkids.

There are so many great hikes to take ones mind becomes overwelmed at which one to travel on next. Our first real hike was to Abrams Falls probable in 1996. We had hiked (walked) several years before but I couldn't convince my wife to do so, besides our kids were small. One such walk! was to the top of Clingsman Dome probable in the 1970's. Of this I remember the trail was competley covered by a canopy of trees throughout the entire walk. I wish it were still the same. Later on she became more health wise and now loves to hike as I do.

Hopefully we will be able to hike after retirement and many years to come.

Gatlinburg for New Year's!~

JennHeikle — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 18:12:43 GMT

I just got back from a mini vacation to Gatlinburg for New Year's. If you aren't aware of this, Gatlinburg has a ball drop and fireworks for New Year's. It was AMAZING! The energy really excites you about ringing in the New Year. There was music. M&M characters came by to give out M&Ms. Some places sold decorations and some places just gave them away to get you in their stores (Mr Tablecloth). There was people, sooo many people, in the streets. 5 o'clock Somewhere offered a VIP section in their upstairs section to let you get away from the thousands of people in the streets. They only allowed about 40 people in the VIP section. They even have a balcony so that the people could go out and see the ball drop and the fireworks. Puckers and Crawdaddy's offered a 2 bars for 1 pass. You could go between the two all night long. Some restaurants were offering New Year's specials. BEWARE!! Parking is atrocious! We stayed at the Microtel to be as close to the Space Needle as possible (We wanted to stay with mountainchalets.com, but by the time we had decided to go to Gatlinburg all of their chalets and I mean all of the chalets [even the really expensive ones that have the indoor pools] were rented. This should tell you how many people were there). The parking lot behind the hotel took 3 hours to clear out. People were crazy! Remember if you go to Gatlinburg for New Year's to check the weather. It was very cold this year! Hot Chocolate and heated shops were my best friend while walking down the parkway.

A Passionate View

Has anyone stayed at a passionate view. Me and my fiance will be going there for our honeymoon and we are wanting to know more about the cabin. The star reviews are fantastic but there is nothing written about it and I'd like to find out as much as I can.

Vista Hideaway

lindenanne — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 19:40:57 GMT

If you are looking for a very private and peaceful place to stay, but it's within 5 minutes of downtown Gatlinburg, this is the place. The deck is awesome - totally wraps around the house - hot tub out there. This place has a Great Room with a cathedral ceiling, so its roomy yet cozy. TV's in the family room and both bedrooms - you don't see any neighbors - I highly recommend it.

Great 2 bed cabin on the Little Pigeon river! We stayed in June 2007 for 7 nights. Away from it all but close enough to all Galinburg and Pigeon Forge. The owner next door make thier own jelly's and are very nice people. Very familiy frendly cabin, 2 decks, 2 jacuzzi's, gas grill on deck, full big kitchen, 2 bath, washer and dryer, lots of kitchen/cooking stuff other people left behind for our use and we left some stuff too. only 2 tv's with satelite, 1 in living and 1 in 1 of the beds. Over all we were very pleased with all aspects of this rental unit :O)

Pigeon Forge

Tasha44 — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 11:45:34 GMT

When you are in Pigeon Forge, look for the Old Mill and look around there. My husband and I had stopped at the leather store off the main parkway and started walking back by the Old Mill and found a lot of things to do and look at that we had no idea was there. There is so much to do in Pigeon Forge you just have to start walking so not to miss anything. We love Tennessee we got back in June and cant wait to come back. We have been staying in a cabin for the past couple of years. We stayed at Old Buck outside of Gatlinburg, it was so seculded and peaceful!

our stay at dogwood cabin

Alice — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 02:17:21 GMT

I just wanted to say how much we enjoyed our stay at dogwood cabin. It was a great place to go to get away from our busy lives. It was so relaxing to sit in the hot tub with the trees all around us. It was so quiet & peaceful. It was a clean & comfortable cabin. We will definitely come back & stay there again.
