Great rapport with the host. The cabin was wonderful….beds were comfy, towels were soft, ice maker was a plus. Walk-in showers were great. No complaints except the weather which could have been a little milder and a lot less rainy. BUT you can’t buy the weather. We had a wonderful time and hope to come back again!

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Gothard

Host profile image
I am originally from western N.C. Now we live only a few miles away from the cabin. I enjoy being the host for American Gem because I am definitely a people person!

For years my in-laws traveled out West to dig rocks. Dad enjoyed cutting stones & making beautiful jewelry; mom enjoyed wearing it. They named their cabin American Gem because of their love for this great country and their wonderful hobby.

Why they chose this property

Buying this cabin was the fulfillment of a dream. They had a wonderful place to enjoy in the Smoky Mountains, and a place to share with others. They loved the quiet surroundings, the convenient location and the relaxed pace. Now they have passed on this blessing to their children, grandchildren & people like you to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

You will find that American Gem's screened back porch is most inviting. There is ample room to sit & relax. A picnic table sets outside by the porch. Within both bedrooms there is a jacuzzi tub in addition to their own individual bathroom. The cabin is roomy & cozy...We consider it a rare find with lots of TLC.
