We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect for us, just close enough to everything we wanted to do but just far enough from the hustle and bustle. The cabin was clean and had everything we could need.
The rental home was great!! Was very easy to entertain the kids with all the gaming systems, pool table, and shuffle board. House was very clean and well maintained. We were lucky enough to see 2 bears. I would highly recommend your home . Perfectly situated for easy access to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Thank you
Great place to stay! Cabin was laid out perfectly for our multiple families and bedrooms/bathrooms very roomy and clean. Kitchen equipped with everything we needed. The kids absolutely loved the game room loft area!! Owners were very responsive to our questions. Perfect location too! Definitely hope to be back again!
Property was as stated. Loved everything in the cabin. We spent quite a bit of our meals at the cabin. There was anything and everything one needs to prepare meals. Kids loved loft area with arcade and games. Adults loved playing pool. Parking was a challenge with the slant but we managed just fine. April and Dave were quick to respond to our questions and/or concerns. Great trip Highly recommend.
This was a great property to enjoy our family vacation in Gatlinburg. The property managers were great and responded quickly to any questions we had. It was a perfect location just close enough to everything we wanted to do in town, but far enough away we could relax and enjoy nature
Great cabin close enough but also far enough away. Alot of great restaurants near the cabin.

About the host
Hosted by April and Dave
Peaks & Palms Vacation Rentals is small and family owned & operated. We are hands-on owners and bring a sensible guest-minded approach to rates, updates, amenities, and style! We have 3 log cabins in Gatlinburg, TN, the gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains; and a condo just steps away from the beach in Siesta Key!
We are frequent visitors to the Smokies and love all that is has to offer and are always ready to head back whether for hiking, viewing wildlife, taking our kids for walks in nearby creeks, go-carting, or just driving through the beautiful Smoky Mountain National Park to enjoy the scenery.
Why they chose this property
This was our 1st of 3 cabins in the same resort! We chose it because it is in a perfect location to enjoy the many activities available in the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area. It is quiet and relaxing and feels like you are miles from hustle and bustle, yet it is minutes from everything. High enough to have a view, but no hazardous roads to navigate to get there! We liked the area so much, we purchased a second, only 4 cabins away from this one, and a 3rd in another part of the resort.
What makes this property unique
Mudpuppies & Moonshine is our flagship cabin and it shows! We are constantly working to improve our guest's experience with modern updates! A remodeled and well-equipped kitchen with new appliances! Clean bathrooms that have all been remodeled! If it is old, we'll update/remodel, if is broken, we'll fix it - we'll do everything we can to ensure you have a great time! Mudpuppies is located near the Arts & Crafts Community where you can spend hours (or maybe days) viewing and buying things from local craftspeople. We are also about a mile to Rocky Top Sports World. You can sit on the front porch or one of the back decks sipping coffee while you plan your day and enjoy the beauty of our cabin's location. Rather than the typical bear, fishing, or elk theme, we've opted for tastefully simple and local décor paying homage to the region as well as the cabin name and moonshine heritage of the Appalachian Mountains which include the Smokies. You will find moonshine distillery barrel lids and jars adorning the cabin! This cabin has had all flooring replaced, a full kitchen remodel, all 3 bathrooms have been remodeled, all furniture replaced, and general décor updates to exceed your expectations.
