This place exceeded my expectations, the details Laurie has done from the decor, to the little touches like a breakfast bar and the postcard wall are amazing
The view from the balcony was spectacular! The host was amazing. The unit was very well appointed. Laurie thought of everything that would make our stay wonderful and easy. Literally, the perfect host and we will definitely stay again.
Wonderful place to stay! The VRBO is welcoming, great location, plenty of room, beautifully decorated, and great amenities. Laurie is an excellent host and goes out of her way to make your stay personal. We were there during the Christmas season and celebrating our anniversary. The condo was beautifully decorated for Christmas and we were greeted with a thank you card, an anniversary cake, cookies, and a Christmas ornament for a keepsake. From the coffee bar, the breakfast basket, the games, to the bedding…..she puts thought into all of the details making it a home away from home.
Loved our stay! Loved that the condo was decorated for Christmas, even had a Christmas tree! They also had bunch of little extras that made our stay even better such as snacks/pancake mix, plenty of coffee, heater on the outside porch. Beds were very comfortable and the condo was very clean. Would definitely stay again!
Owner was easy to reach, everything was amazing. It was clean, cozy and like a home away from home. The little extras this condo had, made a difference!
The only thing I could find wrong was no kitchen towels or Dish cloths And the bed was way too soft other than that it’s a great place to stay and thank you for the ornament.

I am sorry you didn’t let us know about the fish towels we would have brought them over. The bed being too soft is not a complaint we have ever had in that condo. In fact people liked that mattress so much that i have in my other rentals as well.
We loved staying here! It was clean, welcoming, and we loved the extras like the coffee bar, pancake making area, and the kids area. All of the little touches were amazing! We would definitely recommend this unit to anyone and will be staying here again in the future!
Very clean and well equipped. Beds very comfortable. The only issues we had was the keurig wasn't working properly due to the clean light being on and we had no means to clean it!
This condo was a perfect place to stay while we were in pigeon Forge
We have stayed in a condo before and we thought it was so nice. But this one was so much nicer. The views were so pretty.. I would highly recommend anyone that wants to stay in a condo to stay right here. They were very nice clean.
Wonderful condo! Well appointed and many special touches. The free tickets were so wonderful for us. The post card station was so fun! We will be back!

About the host
Hosted by Laurie Sheinkopf
Peaceful in the Pines holds a special place for me, it was my very first short-term rental. And like most great things, it didn't start out that way. The condo was a disaster when I bought it, but I saw exactly what it could become. Two oversized bedrooms with room for king beds in both. A private balcony. A resort with two pools, two hot tubs, a lazy river, and a grilling area — all five minutes from Dollywood. I replaced every piece of furniture, added Smart TVs in every room, built out a kids' game area, and enhanced the spa tub. What was once a mess is now one of the most popular family rentals in the area. This property taught me everything and I couldn't be more proud of what it's become.
Why they chose this property
I purchased this condo because even in rough condition, the bones were undeniable. With two large bedrooms, a private balcony, and access to an incredible resort with two pools, two hot tubs, and a lazy river, all just five minutes from Dollywood; I knew that with the right vision it could be an exceptional family getaway. I gutted it, replaced everything, added king beds to both bedrooms, Smart TVs throughout, a kids' game area, and enhanced the spa tub. It was my first short-term rental and it set the standard for everything that came after.
What makes this property unique
We want our condo to be your home away from home! Here is what makes our rental different than everyone else. *Our rental is very spacious *You get FREE tickets, wifi, parking, bath amenities and more *We have a gorgeous balcony *Our living room has theater seating *Our beds are comfortable and have quality bedding *Our kitchen is stocked with everything you need to prepare a great meal
