Entire cabin is exclusively for guests
Central location in Gatlinburg that is within 14 minutes from the Smoky Mountains National Park, 7 minutes from downtown Gatlinburg (restaurants and grocery stores) and 15 minutes from Pigeon Forge.
▲ The house is located quite high up - prospective guests should take note that they will have to drive up a steady incline and the roads are winding and curvy. When arriving first time, we recommend arriving during daylight for the best visibility.
❆ For bookings in winter time, you should expect to encounter adverse weather conditions (snow, ice, etc) and slippery roads. It is the guest's responsibility to be prepared for this - bringing a car with all-wheel drive and winter tires would be wise.
- No parties.
- No smoking, vaping, inhaling, injection, or general usage of any recreational drug or substance anywhere on the property at any time. There will be a discretionary fine of up to $500 if there is evidence of drug or substance use during your stay - this includes (but is not limited to) odors in the house, leaving behind substances or litter e.g. cigarette butts, leaving behind paraphernalia, etc.
- Pets are allowed on a case by case basis, with advance written permission from the host only. A one time pet fee of $275 will apply for up to 2 pets.
- No blasting of music or excessive noise.
- Each month the house undergoes preventative treatment for pests. Sometimes rodent traps are present in the house - they are explicitly installed in areas where they cannot be accessed by animals, kids, etc. (e.g. behind the fridge). For this reason, appliances are not to be moved. All other treatments used in the house are non-toxic to people or animals.
- There will be charges for excessive cleaning and maintenance if rules are not followed and the house is not left in good condition like you found it. This includes, but is not limited to, excessive trash, leaving dirty dishes / food, dirty grills, dirty hot tub, broken items, etc.
Bears:
It's not unusual to see bears multiple times during your stay. I hope you are able to! Bears are usually docile and uninterested in people. They frequently wander through the neighborhood to look for trash during the day. However, never forget that they are big, strong, wild animals and you should always assume they are dangerous.
1. Never feed the bears under any circumstance or leave food or trash outside. Bears learn to expect food and come back to the cabin to harass guests. This can make bears behave aggressively towards people and become a danger. It is not safe.
2. Never provoke bears. Do not approach, attack, touch, or otherwise engage them. If you unexpectedly encounter bears outside, slowly and calmly distance yourself from them. Carry air horns or bear spray when outside.
Never put yourself between a momma bear and her cubs. A momma bear will get very defensive of her cubs and you will be in danger.
3. Lock your vehicle at all times and remove all traces of food! Local bears are smart and know how to open car doors! They can smell food inside very easily. A number of guests in the area periodically have their vehicles broken into and can suffer damage to the interior. Don't make this mistake!
4. Keep all house doors closed and locked! Especially the front door. You will have food in the house and bears frequently walk by the front steps. Please follow this rule! If bears get inside the house, we will have to hold you responsible for all costs involved to remove the bears and fixing any damages! Not fun for anyone!
5. Be careful with small children and animals. Don't let small kids play outside or leave any animals unattended. Never let them near bears.
We aren't responsible for property damage or if someone is injured from a wild bear. Please make sure you follow the above rules, local and government recommendations and guidelines, and use common sense.
Minors:
For those bringing children/minors with them on their trip, an adult must supervise them at all times. Kids are never to be left alone in the house, for any reason.
We are not responsible for any incidents that arise because a child was not supervised properly.
Hot Tub:
1. Hot tub is for adults only (18+).
2. Make sure to shower before entering the hot tub!
3. No drinking of alcohol in or before entering the hot tub. This is very dangerous as alcohol amplifies how much the hot tub increases your body temperature and can lead to fainting, dizziness, etc. This is for everyone's safety!
4. When finished, please make sure to replace the cover on the hot tub and turn off the jets.
Please do not add anything into the hot tub water. This includes, but is not limited to soaps, lotions, oils, bubble baths, etc. These can damage the tub machinery and require a lot of time and work to flush from the tub for the next guest. If our cleaners have to clean up from your party not following this rule there may be extra charges from our cleaning company.
The hot tub must be completely filled above the jets for it to function and heat properly at all times. Before each stay, we ensure the tub is filled properly. Do not remove water from the hot tub or allow the jets to suck in air at any point - this can damage the tub and prevent it from heating. If water unintentionally splashes out, please ensure the water level is restored above the jets using the hose nearby.
The hot tub is meant to be powered on and remain on continuously (it goes to sleep when not in use). You should only be interacting with the electronic keypad on the edge of the tub for everyday use. Do not touch the hot tub shut-off breaker or attempt to disconnect it from power except in an emergency.
