Why the Owner Chose Gatlinburg
Lots of people ask us why we chose this area to buy a vacation rental, when there are so many beautiful properties in the northern areas of Michigan. Honestly, it boiled down to two big factors: money and weather. With three young children, we didn't have much money to work with. We were looking specifically for a modest, fixer-upper. And Michigan gets mighty cold after October, so we headed south for our cabin search. We love the Smokies, the history of the area and it's welcoming people. We've made many friends and acquaintances there over the years, and you can't help but feel that wonderful southern charm and hospitality wherever you go.
The Unique Benefits at this Pet Friendly Chalet/Cabin
Swaying Pines is a hidden gem...only 5 minutes from either Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge. We especially enjoy the short drive to either town when it's really busy, like holidays. The 6 acre lake is privately owned so you don't need to spend $16 for a fishing license. It's so relaxing to take a walk around the corner to the lake and drop a line...or just make a loop around the lake for some exercise. The horseshoes are lots of fun, too. Something we don't have at home and everyone really enjoys. We own a border collie and a mini-Aussie/Sheltie, both which love to visit the mountains with us. Swaying Pines is our favorite cabin of our three to stay in when we bring the pets along. They have a small yard area to play in and we can take them for walks.
The 6 acre community lake is only a short walk around the corner from Swaying Pines. No license required because it's private property. Catch and release fishing only.
If you love golf and can only play one course while you're in town, this is it. Rick loves playing here. Amazing views, well kept greens and a very challenging course!
If you've brought along your dogs and they need a change of scenery, this Pigeon Forge city park right next to the Community Center is ideal. There is a nice long paved walkway along the creek and ri
Nice place to go swimming in the summer for only $2 per person. Year-round you can swim indoors and use the exercise and gym facilities for about $6.50 per person. They even have a bowling alley. G
This road is a great short-cut to the National Park. Or you can take it to get to the far side of Gatlinburg if traffic is extremely heavy. It's also got two places you can pull off and take picture
One of our favorite "chain" restaurants for great food, fun and collectibles. The back dining room has Dolly Parton dresses and memorabilia...check it out.
Owner's Map of Gatlinburg
Hi, I'm Amy Greener and If you're like our family, you want the comforts of home when you're on vacation. And that's our focus as the owners of Swaying Pines--providing our guests clean, updated accommodations that won't break the piggy bank. My husband Rick and I own three cabins altogether and make it a priority to work on them several times a year...many times for major improvements. It's not easy driving 500 miles from Michigan every couple of months to stain decks, trim trees, dust ceiling fans and wash windows. But good maintenance and upkeep is at the top of our list as owners. And we think you'll notice our attention to detail as soon as you arrive. We believe it's the little things that show how much we care about your experience and we'll always work to make things right! Thank you for considering our pet friendly cabins.
