Thanks for the lovely review! We love the location too- it feels secluded with all the trees but is just 2 minutes to the Parkway. Glad you enjoyed your trip! Thanks for being a wonderful guest!
We had enough room for all the family that came. Also, being able to bring our large dog made the trip peaceful. We did not have to leave a family member behind. The cabin was clean and without orders. We will definitely use again. Bazel/Douglas families.

So happy to hear that your family enjoyed your visit to The Gathering Place, Evon! Thanks for being a wonderful guest. We'd love to host you again in the future!
My family absolutely loved this Cabin . The Cabin didn’t look big from the pictures but once you got inside, wow , it has lots of room. The cabin was very clean and needed nothing ! If you were looking for a cabin, that’s very close to anything in pigeon Forge, This is your place. I’ve stayed at other cabins that took 10-15 minutes to get back to the city , but this one was 2 mins away from the main strip . The host was easy to deal with, and when we needed to add another night they gave us a great deal, Thank Matthew ! Will definitely boom again !

So happy to hear you enjoyed your visit! The cabin is definitely bigger than it looks and we love the convenient location! Thanks for taking care of the cabin and for being a wonderful guest. You are welcome back anytime!
Hah! You're right Brandon- there ARE a bunch of stairs! We like to think it balances out our vacation indulging! :-) But also- when we go with smaller groups, we tend to stay on the main floor and the fun floor. Glad your family enjoyed their visit!
We loved our stay. The cabin was conveniently located just a few minutes from town and restaurants and all the fun that you can do there and also was a short drive to Dollywood. There's also a UTV Outfitter just a few minutes away. The cabin was in great condition and clean and everything was working. They were well stocked.

About the host
Hosted by Matthew Hoover
Hi I’m Matt. I’m a full-time Stay-At-Home Dad and also own several rental properties in Indianapolis that I’ve been managing for the past 12 years. My wife and I fell in love with the Pigeon Forge/ Gatlinburg area and are so excited to have a vacation home in the area that will also serve as a short-term vacation rental. In any property, the most important thing to me is ensuring an outstanding guest experience. I work hard to create a home that my family would enjoying living or staying in.
Outside of work I enjoy golfing, visiting new places, listening to podcasts on a variety of topics, and teaching myself new home improvement skills.
Favorite Places: Maui, HI; Alexandria, VA; Boston, MA; and of course, Pigeon Forge, TN.
Most Want to Visit: Portugal and Washington State
Why they chose this property
Location is amazing, close to all of Pigeon Forge activities and close to Gatlinburg/GSMNP. House has lots of space for everyone to gather for dining and having fun and we love vacationing there with friends and family!
What makes this property unique
We have one entire floor devoted to entertainment with the game room, bumper pool/ poker table, arcade, and big screen TV. The house is huge- there is so much room to spread out and so many fun amenities! Feels serene but so close to all the Pigeon Forge fun!
