About the host

Hosted by Nancy Jones

Host profile image
Tennessee is my home. I was raised in a small rural community, and continue to live in that area where I have worked and raised my family. We grew up knowing the love of family! When we are together for a meal, experience a tree trekking adventure, watch a game, travel, or gather around to play a game of Pinochle it's the most rewarding time! It's family!

Why they chose this property

This property is special in so many ways! My mother is the inspiration for Aunt Lib's "Shine" Shack. She was a truly remarkable lady in all of her roles. She loved life!
Especially time spent with family and friends! This cabin is a place where family and friends can come together and make those long lasting special memories! Experience the wrap around porch with swings and rocking chairs, nap or read on the private screened in porch. Have a smores evening with your group on the patio and firepit! The Great Smoky Mountain area has so much to offer! Let Aunt Lib's "Shine" Shack host your family or group!

What makes this property unique

We have strived to make Aunt Lib's Shine Shack a place where anyone who visits can look around and see the love and memories we have for the cabin's namesake, Aunt Lib. Someone who loved to gather together with loved ones and enjoy something simple, like a movie, a card game, a shopping experience, a good meal, but mostly love and laughter for memories to last forever.
