We are Val & Renee' Morel. This is a photo of us in 2015 while in Seattle on a family vacation.
Val and Renee Morel purchased this cabin in 2006
Why did we buy vacation homes in Gatlinburg Tennessee? We both love the mountains. In fact, we got married in Gatlinburg at Chapel in the Glen (go to: chapelwedding dot com). Gatlinburg is beautiful in all 4 seasons. We just love vacationing here!
Why did we buy Halfway to Heaven cabin?
We call this cabin "Bear Central". Guests are thrilled to see bears around the cabin almost year-round! Best time to see the bears is Spring, Summer, Fall and early Winter. It is thrilling to see these beautiful, big animals.
We caution our guests that bears are wild animals. Keep in mind that momma bears often have cubs nearby. So, please give the bears space. Keep a safe distance of 100 ft or more, do not feed the bears and be sure to always lock your garbage in the bear-proof trash container we provide at the top of the driveway. We recommend watching these amazing bears from inside the cabin. The cabin has glass doors and large windows on every side of the cabin so you can take great bear photos from inside the cabin!
Halfway to Heaven is a spacious cabin in Gatlinburg, TN. The cabin is family friendly and pet friendly. Lovely mountain views can be enjoyed year-round at the cabin. Unique features of the cabin include: bear and other wildlife sightings, sleeping for up to 14 guests, 4 full baths, nice (gently sloped) backyard, 2 gas fireplaces (available for use October - March), pool table, hot tub, Pack & Play portable crib, Wi-Fi, free local & long distance calling in the Continential US, cable TV with movie channels, 3 La-Z-Boy sofas and 2 La-Z-Boy recliners.

Please continue to leave feedback in our online guestbook so others will know what to expect when they book their stays with us.
Thanks!

Folks, I'd like to tell you about our stay at the cabin. At first I was let down by the view. We usually stay higher up. After the first sunset and sunrise I was in love with the view. The cabin is very easy to find. I did not like one of the hills, but got over it. We had plenty of room for all of us. The price cannot be beaten. We had plenty of towels and bedding. I would be glad to answer any questions that you might have about this cabin. Thanks Val and Ranea for allowing us to stay in your cabin. LInda Hester
What a Gem! Loved the easy instructions to access the cabin. Delighted by the efficient use of space in this 3-level floor plan. With 5 bdrms, 2 sofa sleepers and 4 full bathrooms there was enough room for our group of 12. The views were unexpected and relaxing. We experienced a beautiful thunderstorm, a couple of visits from Momma bear and her 2 cubs. This stay was a gift from a family member and was our best ever family vacation.
1. Driveway will NOT fit very fit the number of cars described.
2. Threre was zero internet. Never ever connected.
3. Pictures are totally misleading.
4. Hot tub was disgusting. Lifted the top and smell was horrible. Didn’t even get to use it.
5. Tried to make up bed in basement and mattress cover was stained and not washed. Dirty underwear and trash under it.
6. Upon arriving the downstate was unlocked. Upstairs one of the windows was broken so we had to try to secure it.
7. Need to hire a new cleaning crew because it’s obvious it’s not been deep cleaned in months. Cobwebs. Dirty floors. House smells of mildew.
8. Hey the kitchen table was awesome! Plenty of space for our group of 7 to play games
9. Best part about this home was The view of Mt. LaConte.
Would not recommend this VRBO until house and description of it is updated. So disappointed. Spent a lot of money.
My friends and I went to Gatlinburg to do skiing and snowboarding. Halfway to heaven was the perfect cabin for us. It’s located really close to the skiing park and close to the town. Owners response and comunication was really good. The cabin was clean and had all that we needed to cook. Definitely Looking forward to rent this cabin in the future.
This cabin more than met our expectations and needs for our family if 9 and a dog! We will definitely be staying here again!
Great house that is in a good location. Would highly recommend this rental.
