About this property

Up from the ashes of the 2016 wildfires.newer,contemporary, in town but private

This is a new rebuild from the 2016 wild fires. It is not your cookie cutter cabin. If I had to start all over I wanted to build in a lot of features that hopefully guests would appreciate beyond the ordinary. The location is in town but private with a view of the mountains and activities below. At night it’s just beautiful from the covered porch or the deck. It is a one level home and is pet friendly.The setting is wooded and peaceful but you feel connected . Although children are welcome it is more geared toward adults. All the appliances as well as the baths are higher end. The decor is a mix of organic contemporary,farmhouse, and modern functional. The home is setup with tech within reason. There is a maximum of six overnight guests that is strictly enforced . All bedrooms have queen beds. The laundry is in a central hallway so everyone has access. I don’t use an outside agency so if there’s ever a problem you can communicate with me directly because I want you to have a pleasant and memorable stay.

Beautiful home and pet friendly.

We loved our stay at this beautiful home. Cooper, my little doggie, absolutely loved that he could comfortably be part of our vacation as well. The location was private yet convenient to a grocery store and local tourist attractions.

Everything was perfect :) Lots of small touches that we truly appreciated. Felt like we were at home but in a better place. Super comfortable beds, lots of towels, they even provided paper products and garbage bags. Would recommend for anyone and would definitely stay here again!

Family Vacation 2024

We absolutely loved this property! Everything was perfect for our stay. The house was very clean, layout was great, beds very comfy and the outdoor space was fabulous! We loved sitting on the back porch and there were even ceiling fans outside, so even though it was super hot out, it still felt great to sit outside and enjoy nature! Would definitely stay here again!

Relaxing Spring Break

We really enjoyed our stay here. The deck and patio were great for relaxing in the sun and the fenced in yard was very nice for our dog. We enjoying hiking a couple of trails and visiting Gatlinburg. This location was great for both. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed.

Close but far enough away.

Very nice little place, We all loved the view & the fireplace, and the trolly at the bottom of the hill is the only way to travel, didn't eat out a lot, We used the well equipped kitchen often, [We all missed a real toaster] & the weather was great, We would do this again.

Great pet friendly home

My family and I enjoyed our stay at this Gatlinburg home. Home had everything we needed for a one week stay. I loved how pet friendly this home was with a fenced yard and gates on the deck. The owner even left a water bowl for our dogs. While we did have seeing a bear on our wishlist I will say having one surprise me at night while taking our dogs out wasn’t exactly what I had in mind. Beautiful property would stay here again just be mindful of the bears.

Spring break vacation.

The property is pretty new and was very nice, comfortable and well equipped. It is in a good location and very convenient to Gatlinburg. We had 3 of us staying at the property along with my adult son's dog (and a sibling for one night). Our host was very accommodating for our needs. The fenced in porch and yard area worked very well for the dog. The house is a good size and we were able to have additional family members over for a get together spot on our mini family reunion. This is definitely a house we would come back to.

Best house in the Smokies!

Simply perfect is the best way to describe this place. Everything has been thought of. It felt more like home than a rental house. We had a great time exploring hiking trails and a day at Dollywood! Coming back to this lovely home was icing on the cake each day. One of my favorite things was sitting on the covered patio in the rocking chair watching the birds and relaxing. Location was ideal for getting to all activities and super convenient to the grocery store. Thank you, Lynda, for creating the perfect family getaway in Gatlinburg.

Top of the Line Rental

If you are looking for a 5 Star rental then this is your place!! This home is exceptional. We were impressed by all the amenities and cleanliness of Lynda's property. The house has top of the line furniture, bedding and decor. Normally while on vacation I do not rest or sleep well...Not that way here. The bedding was high end just like the rest of the property. My husband, my sister and I enjoyed being out all day and coming back to sit on the deck for hours enjoying the view and peacefulness. The kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms are well appointed and gorgeous. Everything you need for your stay has been taken care of, all you need to do is to show up. Definitely will come back to this beautiful cabin in Gatlinburg! Thank you Lynda for being such a great host!

Cozy Cabin

We loved the location of this one level cabin. It had all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen had everything needed to cook a homemade meal and all the beds were comfortable. The back deck was a very peaceful and tranquil place to relax. Very close to Gatlinburg but far enough to enjoy quiet mornings and evenings.

Highly Recommend

A few minutes from the town yet still having some mountain experience. The home was great. Everything worked perfect. Yard was circled off - great for dogs to roam free without running away. Lydia has instructions across the house to make sure you know how to operate everything. She has just about everything you need to enjoy time, cook, relax and enjoy time together.There are bears too! we saw one by the side of the road just hanging out. Need to be careful and walk with a stick and some bear spray just in case.

About the host

Hosted by Lynda Hamilton

Host profile image
I’m retired law enforcement from Tampa Florida. I’ve owned this property since 2008. My original cabin burned down to the ground in the November 2016 wildfires along with many others. I survived the fire because I was in Florida at the time where my home there had been flooded by hurricane Hermine. I was ripping out walls and cabinets and throwing out furniture when I got the news of the fire here. It’s taken 3 years to rebuild back because of lack of skilled construction labor along with so many others rebuilding. I’m good now and I hope you enjoy the fruits of my labor.

Why they chose this property

It’s new! It’s in town! It’s private! It’s special! It’s NOT COOKIE CUTTER. It’s convenient to everything. (Including close to the only grocery store (FoodCity),urgentcare,Police, and Fire). There’s a trolly stop approx. two blocks away. You’re a mile from the walking area of Gatlinburg, 5 miles to Pigeon Forge, Sevierville and Dollywood.
