About this property

Hibernation Station! Your basecamp steps from the heart of Gatlinburg!

Ready for adventure? Hibernation Station sits an easy walk along pretty Baskins Creek from the action; Anakeesta and Ripley’s Aquarium are both about 9 minutes on foot. Come back after a day in the mountains, kick your feet up on the open-air balcony in the Adirondack chairs and enjoy the fresh mountain air.

Inside, it’s all rustic Smoky Mountain charm without sacrificing comfort: log beds, bear décor, granite counters, stainless appliances, and a massive 70" TV in a high-ceiling living room.

The layout works for families and groups:
Lower level: king suite with ensuite shower + laundry
Main level: second king suite with tub/shower, living room with queen sleeper sofa, kitchen, dining, and balcony
Loft: queen bed, arcade game, and a full bath

Guests rate Hibernation Station 10/10 "Exceptional: Loved by Guests" and it comes with a VRBO certified "Premier Host." It’s the rare combo of walk-to-everything convenience and that cozy cabin feel you actually came to the Smokies for. Book it, drop your bags, and start exploring. The mountains are waiting.

Sleeps 8 across 3 bedrooms and 3 baths.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We’ve stayed in the Smoky Mountains several times and this was by far our favorite place to stay. The walking distance to everything in Gatlinburg doesn’t get any better and it comfortably accommodated our large family. The floors and crevices could use a deep cleaning but the important things like linens and furniture were good. We hope to stay here again on our next visit!

The owners were absolutely amazing, there was some issues beyond their control due to power outage and things but when I messaged they responded in timely manner and communication was an absolute breeze, My family and I have been coming to the area for years but we will definitely be staying in their properties again!! The area was gorgeous the walk to town isn’t bad if you miss the trolley stop at the end of the complex. We are overly impressed with the owners and the area the complex was in!!!
Relaxing for the night after a long day walking around.
