Best Downtown Gatlinburg Location, Seconds from Hiking, Dining & Entertainment

Nestled just one block off the Gatlinburg Parkway is our storybook contemporary little cottage. .04 mile from Gatlinburg city center such as the Aquarium, Ober Gatlinburg Ski Lift, Blake Sheltons Red and more! . I’ve walked from the house, down the entire Gatlinburg strip to the National Park entrance and it’s only 1 & 1/2 miles each way. 2 bedrooms, 2 bath rooms king master & queen size bunk beds in the 2nd room. Best Hot tub around Flat screen TVs This cottage is about location rather than views.
The location is everything! Waking up to the smell of Flapjacks Pancakes cooking a block down the road is not a bummer! I am not going to lie, there has been a time or two that I have rolled out of bed, put my slippers on and walked on over for breakfast! You should try it! My favorite days are when it rains and you can hear the stream across the street rolling down the mountain. It so peaceful! And sitting outside in the hot tub after the sun goes down, that may be my favorite! Can you tell how much I love this little cottage!! The best feeling is that I am able to share it all with you!
Our cottage is a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom. Each bedroom has a private bathroom. The master bedroom is very cozy fitting only a king size bed, dresser, closet, tv and ensuite with a walk in shower. The 2nd bedroom has queen size bunkbeds that will sleep 4. A dresser, tv, closet and a full bath with shower/tub combo. The living area has a reclining leather sofa, large flat screen tv, gas fireplace, and 2 leather chairs. There is a dining table for 6, fully stocked kitchen for cooking, washer, dryer, iron, linens & hair dyer. For entertainment there are games in the cabinet and a hot tub. Not to mention being right down the road from Snow tubing at Ober Gatlinburg!
This cottage is great for you if: Location is more important than the view.
The location of our cottage is right off the Gatlingburg Parkway. If you are wanting to spend a lot of time in downtown Gatlinburg and want to be near the National park entrance, our cottage is ideal. Save on parking fees and save time not sitting in traffic.
Walking distance to most attractions
Located less than 1 mile from attractions such as the Aquarium, Annakeesta, Ripley s.
Just over 1.5 miles to Ober Gatlinburg & The National Park Entrance!
8 Miles to Dollywood
9 miles to the Island in Pigeon Forge

This cottage is great for you if : You are looking to spend time together & not looking for a ton of space to spread out. Love grows best in little houses.
Our place is a cottage, not a lodge. A cottage is a "small simple house." If you need huge amounts of space, this may not be your space. It is the perfect family & friend space, ideal for 4-6. Cozy, friendly & beautiful meant to gather and enjoy the fellowship of each other.

Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.

Gem of a location
Came during a peek time…Christmas week. (Not going to lie, I was a bit nervous based on what I read). Needless to say, I chose this VRBO for the ratings and the location and it definitely paid off. No need to fight holiday traffic with this gem. It was a short walk to Anakeesta and downtown. The place was a bit tight for 6, but we made due. Tastefully decorated and kitchen was complete for our needs. Plenty of towels and clean comfortable beds. Owners communicated well throughout the stay. We were happy and would stay again.

Great place
The house was a perfect stay for my family of 4. The second bedroom has bunk beds so the boys didn’t have to sleep together. The hot tub was so nice after coming home from a day hiking & the location was great. It was close enough to walk to town but not right in the craziness of the downtown area. We loved it!

Will be hard to top this vacation.
According to my family I’ve set the bar high w/ this vacation & it will be hard to top.1st this rental was perfect for me, my husband, & 2 kids. After a long 9 hr drive we walked in & it smelled amazing, so clean. The AC was a perfect temp on a hot day & we all immediately felt at home. It’s beautifully decorated w/ a subtle mountain vibe but not over the top. My kids also loved the more modern mountain feel. My son immediately ran to the front patio & sat in an egg chair. I was surprised at how comfy & relaxing the chairs were. We arrived later than planned so the 1st night we got pizza from the papa John’s within walking distance of the cottage & ate at the dining table then enjoyed the hot tub which was the perfect temp. Then we all slept like babies. The cottage had everything we needed. Bedding was perfect with extra pillows and blankets available. The owner even provided toiletries on the bathroom shelf which was a thoughtful touch. The area is amazing! While there we shopped til we dropped in downtown Gatlinburg, took a helicopter tour of the mountains which was breathtaking, walked the sky bridge, went water water rafting, and took an atv up the mountain and zip lined down. This trip was all about adventure & checking off the family bucket list. The area has tons of amusement attractions, games, and museums, but it also has lots of adventure which is what we did. We made memories to last a lifetime and I have to agree w/ my family. This one will be hard to top!

Perfection 😊
We absolutely loved the cottage! Perfect size for us and 2 boys aged 19 & 20. Very clean, just as pictured and described. Quiet area, but very walkable to the downtown Parkway. The owner was very prompt in all of her communications which made it very easy for us upon arrival. We truly have no complaints. Clean and comfortable beds. The 2 young boys are both around 6ft tall and slept very comfortably on the queen size bunk beds! We rented an ATV and drove the paved trail on the mountain Bove the cottage. We had a momma bear and her cub cross the road right in front of us!!! There are beautiful overlooks, creeks, small water falls, old cabins and a mill. Check it out!!!

Beautiful House in a Great Location!
Me and my friends were on my Bachelorette Party for the weekend and had an amazing stay! We got a few messages from the property owner with information about our stay and what the check-in process was like, and we got these messages before it was time to check-in so we were prepared. We walked in to a BEAUTIFUL and clean home that had everything we needed- dishes, enough towels for over 6 people (even though we only had 5), games, a tv with streaming services, and plenty of room. We unfortunately didn’t have time to use the hot tub, which was ready for us to use if we could! Parking was a little tighter than we thought, but there was a little spot right in front of the house we could park at which worked perfectly! We were able to fit a SUV in the carport, and a car in front of the house. Definitely carpool if you are coming with a group of people! The house was at a great location, it was a 15-minute walk to Ole Red on the Gatlinburg strip. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed staying here!

Spring Break Trip
We stayed here for our spring break trip. I picked this property because of the location to the main strip to be able to walk but it was too cold for the days we visited the strip so we ended up parking closer, otherwise it would have been an easy 10-15 minute walk. Overall the property was great for our needs. The hot tub was a great way to end our days after all the walking/hiking.

Very nice!
Super cute and cozy cottage that was perfect for our family of 4. We appreciated the cleanliness, decor, furnishings, games, and extra blankets. Our teenage boys were happy with the queen size bunks. The hot tub was great after a long day of skiing! We didn't cook at all, but the kitchen seemed to have everything you would need to make a nice meal. The location was good as it was a short walk to the shops and restaurants, but it was nice to be off the busy strip. We didn't have any problem parking our large SUV in the carport. Flap Jacks, The Alamo Steakhouse, and Smith & Sons are all great restaurants to visit (you can put your name on Smith & Son's waitlist on their website before you arrive). We were very happy with this rental!

Perfect spot! Perfect everything!
Whenever possible, we always opt to stay at a lovely home when traveling and this property checked all the boxes, and then some. The home was perfect for our family! The kitchen area is huge and allowed us enjoy our stay. The bedrooms were roomy and spacious and having two bathrooms made all the difference. We ventured into the Gatlinburg downtown area but decided to sit on the couch, relax, and watch some movies after a long day hiking (after the obligatory hot tub, of course). When we did walk into town, we did it from the house without any issues! No need to mess with parking in the downtown area or worry about having drinks with your meal. Dondi was a great host and was always available to answer our questions. Our goal was to be very close to the park and this location allowed us to be at the visitors center in 10 minutes. As an added bonus, the home is so close to any hike with a trailhead on the Cherokee Orchard Road (such as the Rainbow Falls Trail). We were at the trailhead in 15 minutes. An added unexpected bonus for us came at dusk one evening. We watched a momma bear and her three cubs stroll down the road in search of food. This home is a perfect basecamp for Gatlinburg and the Smoky Mountains. Amazing!

Great home location and easy access to Gatlinburg and the park.
Great stay at the house, close to restaurants, out of the bustle of Gatlinburg but within walking distance. Easy access to the park as well. The house was clean and had all of the amenities we needed. Saw bears on two different occasions in the neighborhood and both times were a thrill but still felt safe.
