Tree La City
Jonette was super helpful with all of our questions and with this being our first air b&b experience as she took the time to help us address all of our concerns with having to bring our dogs. Luckily we didn’t have to bring them with a last minute assist from a family member! The house was as described and had everything we needed and more including a beautiful area with some great views! Definitely recommend it as a place to stay if your going to the Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg area as it is far enough away to not get caught up in the hustle and bustle of all the tourists but close enough I t’s not a pain to have to drive there.

Pet Friendly near Gatlinburg
Everything was amazing. We had the best time ever. The views, the jacuzzi, the environment so beautiful and quiet. Every detail was perfect. We are definitely going to comeback soon! Thank you Eric & Gen!

Family/Pet Friendly Cabin
I can’t thank Alison and Jason enough for being the best host and providing our family with an ideal place to stay minutes from the parkway and also not a far drive from the scenic Cades cove! Alison and Jason provided so many details on other things to do and places to eat/visit while in town and we couldn’t be happier with them and their beautiful cabin!

Location! Near attractions! Pet friendly! Hot Tub!
Hi family had an absolute wonderful Christmas vacation. The host had up a beautiful tree next to the fireplace with some lights. It was simple but beautiful and we would highly recommend this house to anyone traveling to the pigeon Forge area. The location of the house was perfect two blocks away from the main street. We got to Dollywood in less than 15 minutes. We got to the old Mill restaurant in less than 10. And the house looks like the pictures posted online we all know sometimes that is not the case.

Cozy Smoky Mountain Tiny House with Hot Tub!
Great place to stay & hosts communicated very well! Great location! Only negative was the downstairs bedroom was freezing cold & could not get it to heat.

TIMBER RIDGE LODGE Airbnb number 20074293
It was a beautiful cabin decorated for Christmas. We stay the week of Christmas 2024 and their was 12 of us, 6 kids and 6 adults. The cabin worked wonderful for us. It was large enough with the upstairs and the basement that each of my family had their own space to relax. The fireplace worked wonderfully, the kids and grandkids enjoyed s'mores over the fire. It was a true pleasure to relax and enjoy family. The weather was also excellent, we could stay out on the back deck and enjoy the views of all the mountains.

Beautiful 1 Bedroom Cabin in Gatlinburg Falls
Absolutely amazing cabin! It was perfect for my husband and I on our weekend getaway! We had some snow so there were quite a few restaurants and attractions closed due to the weather but with all the amenities of the cabin we stayed busy! We had a blast playing air hockey and pool and then relaxing in the hot tub! The cabin was clean and SO cozy!! Couldn’t have asked for a better stay! Plenty of things to do close by as well! Host was super helpful, friendly and responsive! 10/10!!

Romantic Getaway, Unbelievable View, Pool Table, H
This cabin was absolutely stunning, inside and out. Everything was clean and easy to find/figure out. We felt very safe and at home during our stay. The view is breathtaking and 100% the reason why we booked this place. The town itself has lots to do and tons of antique stores and souvenir shops to visit (if you’ve ever been to the Wisconsin Dells, it is very reminiscent of that). The locals are all very nice. Can’t way to book again! Definitely a diamond in the rough!

Amazing view! hot tub, sauna, pool & game room
Gorgeous cabin and the hostess always messaged us back. Lots of amenities with the hot tub, sauna, cooking intensive and spices, indoor and outdoor fireplace! We loved it! Thank you for a lovely ending to our Christmas season!

Rustic Splash w/ Private Indoor Pool
We had a wonderful stay at this cabin! It’s not far at all from the Pigeon Forge main strip, but still secluded amongst trees which offers privacy. The place was also immaculately cleaned when we arrived. The heated downstairs pool felt great even with temps outside in the low 30’s. We probably used the pool more than anything during our stay. Will definitely book again next time we want to come to the area!

Weekend Runaway, Honeymoon, Hot Tub
We loved our stay in this cabin, all the pictures were very accurate, it was a much needed getaway and this was the perfect cabin for it! Thank you so much :)

Your guide to Gatlinburg
All About Gatlinburg
Nestled on the northern edge of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Gatlinburg is a diminutive mountain town surrounded by natural beauty. It’s within easy reach of more than 900 miles of picturesque hiking trails, leaving outdoorsy types wanting for nothing more — the national park’s thundering Grotto Falls are just minutes away, and the town boasts the only ski resort in the state, Ober Gatlinburg. While many visitors are drawn out of town for the region’s abundant wildlife — look out for the resident black bears and hundreds of bird species — staying put brings its own rewards. The Gatlinburg Sky Lift or an elevator ride to the top of the town’s 407-foot Space Needle provide a bird’s eye view of proceedings along with the scenic Smokies, while local breweries, wineries, and distilleries are tasty pit stops on a leisurely tour of local shops and galleries.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Gatlinburg
The stunning spectacle of changing foliage in the surrounding Great Smoky Mountains National Park makes fall a highly recommended time to stay at cabins for rent in this part of Tennessee. Around 100 species of tree gradually transform the mountainside from mid-October through mid-November, which is also when Gatlinburg’s annual Oktoberfest occurs. If you’re hiking in the park, remember to pack layers for the change in temperature at altitude.
During winter, chilly temperatures are countered by an abundance of holiday cheer, including the local Fantasy of Lights Christmas Parade. Spring is primetime for nature lovers wanting to experience wildflower blooms — follow the six-mile Greenbrier route for kaleidoscopic displays. When summer rolls around, all eyes are on the town’s music festivals, and the annual Fourth of July celebration starts at midnight and runs all day and night, including a River Raft Regatta and an absorbing fireworks display atop the Space Needle.

Gatlinburg Pinball Museum
For retro game geeks, pinball wizards, and those looking for family-friendly fun, the city’s pinball museum is a popular destination. The extensive collection of rare pinball machines and arcade games here — more than 100 options to keep you busy — are available for the playing. This is one of the few museums where visitors are encouraged to flex their gaming muscles.
Ober Gatlinburg
The state’s only ski and snowboard resort is a year round destination that’s also the site of an amusement park with a wide range of high-octane activities to boost your adrenaline. Tubing is a major draw during the winter season, while water rides, a climbing wall, and bumper cars attract visitors once the snow has melted.
