Wonderful place to stay! The VRBO is welcoming, great location, plenty of room, beautifully decorated, and great amenities. Laurie is an excellent host and goes out of her way to make your stay personal. We were there during the Christmas season and celebrating our anniversary. The condo was beautifully decorated for Christmas and we were greeted with a thank you card, an anniversary cake, cookies, and a Christmas ornament for a keepsake. From the coffee bar, the breakfast basket, the games, to the bedding…..she puts thought into all of the details making it a home away from home.

I am sorry you didn’t let us know about the fish towels we would have brought them over. The bed being too soft is not a complaint we have ever had in that condo. In fact people liked that mattress so much that i have in my other rentals as well.

About the host

Hosted by Laurie Sheinkopf

Host profile image

Peaceful in the Pines holds a special place for me, it was my very first short-term rental. And like most great things, it didn't start out that way. The condo was a disaster when I bought it, but I saw exactly what it could become. Two oversized bedrooms with room for king beds in both. A private balcony. A resort with two pools, two hot tubs, a lazy river, and a grilling area — all five minutes from Dollywood. I replaced every piece of furniture, added Smart TVs in every room, built out a kids' game area, and enhanced the spa tub. What was once a mess is now one of the most popular family rentals in the area. This property taught me everything and I couldn't be more proud of what it's become.

Why they chose this property

I purchased this condo because even in rough condition, the bones were undeniable. With two large bedrooms, a private balcony, and access to an incredible resort with two pools, two hot tubs, and a lazy river, all just five minutes from Dollywood; I knew that with the right vision it could be an exceptional family getaway. I gutted it, replaced everything, added king beds to both bedrooms, Smart TVs throughout, a kids' game area, and enhanced the spa tub. It was my first short-term rental and it set the standard for everything that came after.

What makes this property unique

We want our condo to be your home away from home! Here is what makes our rental different than everyone else.
*Our rental is very spacious and thoughtful designed for every family member
*You get FREE tickets, wifi, parking, bath amenities and more
*We have a gorgeous balcony
*Our living room has theater seating
*Our beds are comfortable and have quality bedding
*Our kitchen is stocked with everything you need to prepare a great meal
