Favorite VRBO

I’ve stayed in numerous VRBOs and this one might be my favorite. This one didn’t feel outdated to me at all. It felt like going to visit my grandmother. The decor is just perfect! This property had everything we needed. Plenty of room for everybody, great location, and a gorgeous view of the river. I would definitely stay here again.

Great place along the river

Ruth's Aspen House is one of our fishing buddies' favorite places we have stayed. Easy access to the river with a set of stairs that leads to a nice walkway above the river. One of my friends was an 85-year-old veteran who loves to fish, but finds it hard to get down to the river in that area due to rugged terrain. He caught is limit easily. Thanks to Ruth providing us with a crock pot, which wasn't on the list of available kitchen items, we also were able to make dinner "slowly" all day and enjoy a hot meal after a hard day of fishing. Ruth was great at replying to all my questions. The perfect host! We'll be back next year.

We have had this property on the rental program for over 35 years and have many, many repeat guests each year.

What makes this property unique

Our cottage is ideally located to Gatlinburg. You can walk to town in 10-12 minutes or catch the trolley 2 blocks from the cottage.
We are located right on the river so you can enjoy fishing off the back of the property or enjoy your first cup of coffee in the morning or favorite drink on the open patio in the evening.
