Also a half-court shuffleboard off the parking lot makes for great outdoor fun. The hiking center is at the entrance with hiking poles, binoculars, and a ruck pack full of emergency items.

The Loft Level features a Queen bed w/child sleeping area, private bath and French doors leading to a nice balcony and sitting area. HDTV.

Mountain stay but close to town
We rented this and met my parents there for the holiday. Location was great. Less than 5 min drive to Ober or to the Gatlinburg strip. There was a total of 6 people. This house fit our needs perfectly. 3 levels and each level has a bedroom and bathroom. All 3 showers had pretty decent water pressure (this is a must for ladies). House was equipped enough for us to cook a few meals there. Has a full size washer/dryer thats available to use. Hot tub is in a screened in area off the bottom level. We were there for just over 1 hour and were in the hot tub area when we saw a bear come walking down the stairs from the upper deck. He walked about 3-5 ft away from us. That was the only bear sighting we had but with it being so cold, our outdoor time was limited. Jay and Susan were fantastic hosts. Quick to respond to emails. Hope to stay here again. Tip: bring extra pillowsPro tip: take directions from Jay and ignore your GPS. The gps will take you over the treacherous mountain roads at night and you will arrive on a wing and a prayer. Jay’s directions take you through Gatlinburg and a straight shot up to the cabin. Even gridlocked traffic will be better than the GPS directions. Trust me.

Daily bear activity!
The house was all that we needed. Plenty of room for the 4 of us. The hot tub was wonderful after hiking all day! Parking was easy. The host was very responsive with answers to questions. It was dated & could use new carpet & brighter paint. But, the bear activity was exciting! We enjoyed watching the bears daily! We would definitely rent this house again!

Wonderful family cabin
This was a great cabin for a family. We had a total of 6 adults, 3 kids under 4yo, and 1 baby. It accommodated all of us very well. If you want to see bears, this is the place! We saw bears all three days we were there. We will definitely book again.

Needs a good cleaning, simple maintenance, and updated.
We don't believe the cabin was cleaned before we arrived. We had to clean and kill a bunch of ants that were crawling all over the living room. Upon lifting the rug we found old food that looked to be swept under there. We had a water leak that had to be repaired our first day there and had no air conditioning for most of the week until someone came to repair it, which I believe was on Thursday. There is not one comfortable seat in the living area so I think it's time for some updating. I am not trying to get a free vacation as another reviewer was accused of trying. We were very disappointed in renting the cabin for our stay and would never make the same mistake twice. Back in the day it would have been ideal but in the present day it is not.

Bear-Filled Stay in the Smoky Mountains
Our family vacation to Smoky Mountain National Park and Dollywood was made better by our rental home. It had ample space and many amenities, including a hot tub and access to a community pool. Although the bathrooms are a bit outdated and the bears are definitely smart enough to get into your car, we had a great time and would stay here again.

The Beary Best!
Wow! We decided to take a much-needed vacation to the Smokies with our whole family, and Echo Place truly delivered! The location was incredibly convenient—just a 10-minute drive to Gatlinburg and 25 minutes to Pigeon Forge, so we were right in the heart of everything. The cabin was perfect for our group of eight, with ample space for everyone to find a little privacy or rest when needed. The views were spectacular, and we had the added excitement of regular(daily) visits from two neighborhood black bears. (A reminder: don’t feed the bears, keep your cars locked, and use the bear bins for your trash!) We saw several neighbors, unfamiliar with how clever bears can be, having their cars searched by these curious visitors. When we return to the Smokies, we’ll definitely try to stay here again—it was that great! Thank you so much to the owners for Hosting us!

The house was great!!! Plenty of room for everyone to be together but also have their own space. Communication with Jay was great, he answered my questions immediately and sent all information quickly and accurately. The place was just as it was pictured. The bears were beautiful, inquisitive, and in abundance but that is what the Smoky Mountains are know for. I will definitely rent this house again!

Another amazing vacation in the books
Nice sized cabin, up in the mountains. We saw 9 bears during our stay, one which tore our vehicle door handle off trying to get in (it was locked), but that’s what happens up in the mountains. Everything was cleaned and nice! It is a steep and curvy drive up to the cabin, but it’s within minutes to Gatlinburg ♥️

Bears
This was an amazing cabin!! We will definitely stay here again. We saw 6-8 bears while we were at the cabin. They would walk right by the porch. The place was very clean and had everything you needed like towels, dishes, pans, coffee pot with coffee ect. They even had a game room on the bottom floor. We had a blast playing shuffle board. The cabin is close to everything, but far enough away you didn't hear a bunch of noise. I have recommended this cabin to all my family and friends that are planning on going to Tennessee.
