About this property

ECHO PLACE. A cozy Family Base Camp for Hiking, Skiing, and Area Exploration!

Echo Place has over 1,580 SF of living area with lots of surrounding porches and decks. A bedroom and bath on each of the three levels makes the ideal setup for up privacy when more than one couple/family come together for fun in the Smokies. We advertise to sleep (8) due to size of cabin. However with the sofa bed and loft cubby it can actually sleep eight (8) adults and three (3) children comfortably. Plenty of very well lit parking for at least 4 vehicles. Zero steps to the main level!

The Main Level features a bedroom with King bed and bunkbeds for kids/teenagers, HDTV and DVD player. The bathroom is shared with the main living area. Open kitchen/dining/living room with HDTV/DVD Player and Bluetooth surround sound to stream your own music. A huge stone fireplace, soaring ceilings, plenty of glass/french doors to the decks and woods make this space seem huge. The deck space off the main level includes a large covered porch with picnic table, open decking with Adirondack chairs and a bar w/seating to take in the views and mountain air. Also a half-court shuffleboard off the parking lot makes for great outdoor fun. The hiking center is at the entrance with hiking poles, binoculars, and a ruck pack full of emergency items.

The Loft Level features a Queen bed w/child sleeping area, private bath and French doors leading to a nice balcony and sitting area. HDTV.

The Lower Level features a third bedroom with King bed, HDTV, UT themed laundry room, and a recreation room. The bathroom is shared between the rec room and bedroom. Recreation includes a beautiful handcrafted shuffleboard table, an air hockey table, and a 3-in-1 bumper pool/poker/game table. Comfortable sectional for viewing movies on the large surround sound HDTV with Bluetooth theater. Plenty of movies and games provided for your use as well as several board games.
Off the Rec Room is an enclosed screened in porch with a bubbling hot tub and comfortable seating to take in the night. A grille area is just outside (bring your own charcoal).
Internet and Streaming Services provided along with plenty of movies onsite for family movie night.

Loved the wildlife and saw bears regularly. Make sure to deadbolt doors and lock your cars. We didn't have any problems with them, but also made sure to respect them.

We had a great time. The cabin was very clean and it was pretty well stocked. The porches could have used a good sweep to get rid of the spiders and webs but to be far, we are in the woods. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were very clean. Great place for a sibling get together.

It worked for what we needed. Didn't walk around bare foot down stairs. A lot of lights were out, was told to change them, just decided not to use the outdoor at night. Except the picnic table, that was well lit and dry enough to set at. Didn't get in hot tub.

Bears, Bears, Bears

The property was a bit run down and there was no yard whatsoever BUT we saw bear everyday. The hot tub was great!! The housekeeper, Sissy was amazing!! The toaster was broken and she brought a new one in a jiffy. The windy road is breathtaking. I did wish we had a view from the porch but when we were in the driveway we could see the mountain view beautifully.

Mountain Getaway

Thanks to all of the space and amenities in this house, the only time we left was to go skiing at Ober, which was incredibly close. We have gone on many trips over all the country, this was by far the best experience we have had and are looking forward to returning with our whole gang!

My family wasn’t happy with the cleanliness of the cabin! There were dead bugs, spiders, and cob-webs everywhere. We had to get ahold of the owner to clean for us again and bring fresh towels since some of the dead bugs were on the towels. The cabin wasn’t what we pictured it to be! There are cabins all around it on a cliff side. On a different note we did see bears every day around the cabin and on the deck (blocking us in the cabin for a while) but you can clearly see that the people are feeding the bears around those cabins which they shouldn’t. Regardless we didn’t let the disappoint of the cabin prevent our family from having a good time!

About the host

Hosted by Jay Welborn

Host profile image
Jay is a retired Air Force officer and currently works as a contractor at Shaw AFB, SC. Jay went to Architecture school at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville where he and Susan fell in love with the Smoky Mountains area during weekend getaways. Susan owns a home daycare center and has provided childcare all over the world as the Air Force moved us from place to place to include Japan, Germany, and a myriad of stateside assignments. We have five children and the cabin has provided a wonderful place for our family gatherings.

Why they chose this property

We bought this cabin because it was so close to Gatlinburg and it was nestled in the woods just the way we wanted. Zero steps to main level, easy access drive, and plenty of parking. Winter mountain views and seeing the Ober Gatlinburg Tram is really cool. We've spent the last couple years remodeling and putting our special touch on the place. We've already had lots of memorable outings with friends and family in our home away from home.

What makes this property unique

Plenty of space for a family get together! We know you'll enjoy our little cabin in the woods.
