My grandson and I stayed here for five nights during our trip to Pigeon Forge, and we had an amazing time! The location was perfect—close to everything we wanted to do, making it easy to explore the area. The onsite pools were a wonderful way to cool off after hot days of sightseeing, and being able to watch the nightly Dollywood fireworks was an unexpected bonus!The condo was the perfect size for the two of us and was absolutely adorable with its Dolly-inspired décor. We also loved being on the first floor, which made loading and unloading the car and coming and going throughout the day incredibly convenient.The only suggestion I have for future guests is to bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. The condo is located near the dumpsters, and the garbage trucks arrived around 4:30 a.m. each morning, which woke us up.Overall, this was a fantastic stay, and that minor inconvenience wouldn’t keep us from returning. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Pigeon Forge!

The coffee bar with coffee and supplies was nice as well as the basket of oil and spices.

We loved the location and the trip to Dollywood and The Island at Margaretiville. BullFish Grill and Timberwood were great restaurants.

Location was perfect! You step out and the indoor pool, hot tub (which was clean) and workout room with a vending machine is right there! Also, Dollywood does their lightshow at dark and the area beside the indoor pool has seating and you can watch the fireworks and light show!! (know that there are two portions with a small wait in between both shows!) The place was really clean and humidity inside was perfect. We did see some bugs (not bad ones- like a rolly polly or two) I still gave 5 stars but yeah it may need to be sprayed being so close to the indoor pool? The balcony was so private and you felt away from everyone. The lazy river was fun. The pull out bed was comfy and so was the recliner! In front of our door was the smoking area. It was plenty far enough away where I smelled NO SMOKE at all.(I am a non smoker) But this is perfect if you have a traveling smoker with you- Small walk and in the shade under some trees. The birthday cake from the host was so sweet! My aunt said it was the best birthday EVER!Super close to a publix! Also, took advantage of the free tickets. We rode two different mountain coasters!I did request a later checkout time (because I have done this with other VRBOs) and was told that this was not an option and should have been done on the front end. I get it but it would have been a nice option to have mid stay. Sometimes you want to get home quickly and other times maybe not- depending how the stay is going. All in all- I loved this place!!!!

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. I am sorry about the rolly polly bugs as the association and I both spray but in the summer its hard to control. We apologized that we could not allow you to check out late because my cleaner could not accommodate it due her schedule. We are thrilled that you liked the pull out it has a fabulous mattress on it.

Located up a hill off parkway. Sometimes a little hard to get out. Needs a sign out in front of first set of condo''s as you come up hill. Hard to see the where to turn in. Host was very nice to work with. Nice quiet porch to set on and just relax. Furniture was pretty but not very comfortable. But a great get away. Very clean. Pool was good. Not many people using it. Nice to walk out door into pool with just a few steps. Also a great place to watch fireworks.

Just what we needed!

Everything was just as advertised! The location was perfect too! Quiet overall. We especially loved the decor and the extra details inside. Unfortunately, the indoor pool, which is right there, was not open because of mechanical issues. We ended up being too busy/tired to use it anyway, so not the end of the world.

Amazing

We came into the area for my nephews wedding. We arrived late on Wednesday night amongst the heavy rain and flooding that was going on, but had no issues getting from the Knoxville airport to our beautiful location in pigeon Forge to stay for the days that we were going to be there Upon arrival extremely easy to get into the place very clean very comfortable. We couldn’t have been more happy. It is in a great location and it is very centrally located to anything and everything and everywhere you wanna go we were truly blessed to find this place and are very happy and will definitely be back , hopefully when it’s not raining, I’m flooding through the state of Tennessee. By the way God bless Tennessee and all those affected.

About the host

Hosted by Laurie Sheinkopf

Host profile image
I purchased Serenity in the Smokies during COVID — a time when most people were stepping back, I was leaning in. I fell in love with this unit the moment I saw it. Ground floor, a private patio, and steps from the resort pools — it had an ease and accessibility that most units simply don't offer. But what I wanted to create here went beyond comfort. I wanted guests to feel genuinely connected to this place and its culture. That's how the interactive Smoky Mountain art wall was born — a one-of-a-kind experience you won't find in any other rental in the Smokies. Pair that with a 5-minute drive to Dollywood and everything this resort has to offer, and Serenity in the Smokies became something truly special.

Why they chose this property

I purchased this unit during COVID because I believed in the lasting draw of the Smokies and saw an opportunity others overlooked. The ground floor location with a private patio and immediate access to the resort pools made it stand out immediately. I also wanted to create something truly unique — a rental with a one-of-a-kind interactive art wall that connects guests to the culture and beauty of the Smoky Mountains. Just 5 minutes from Dollywood, this property had everything it needed to become an exceptional guest experience.

What makes this property unique

★ One-of-a-kind Interactive Smoky Mountain Art Gallery with QR codes · nowhere else in the Smokies has this
★ 23 FREE attraction tickets daily · Dollywood, Anakeesta, Titanic, and 20 more (up to $750 value)

★ Plush king bed with blackout curtains
★ Steps from the heated indoor pool (open year-round)
★ Full kitchen with spices, pots, pans, coffee bar
★ Cozy fireplace
