-Pet Friendly (2 dog maximum)
-Indoor Saltwater Pool

When it comes to year-round swimming, Poolin Around ain’t foolin’ around! Combining luxury with rustic charm, this one-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bathrom cabin in the mountains sleeps four, has spectacular mountain views and – best of all – boasts an indoor saltwater pool and hot tub.

Poolin Around’s large windows and skylights let you revel in outstanding views of the Great Smoky Mountains, even as you’re lounging on the leather sofa watching a movie or curled up in the leather armchair with a book by the fireplace. The comfortable couch, by the way, converts into a queen-size bed, so that Poolin Around can sleep up to four people. A large flat-screen cable TV with DVD player and Blu-Ray is suspended above the gas fireplace in a gorgeous stone hearth, while a foosball table is conveniently located nearby if you’re up for some friendly competition.

The famous Greenbriar restaurant is just a short walk away, but if you don’t want to eat out you can settle in at the cozy dining table, which seats four. Stylishly outfitted with stainless-steel appliances (both large and small) and granite countertops, the kitchen is fully equipped with pots, pans, tableware and utensils so you can prepare anything from cocktails or a gourmet feast, to your morning cup of coffee with ease.

A good night’s sleep is key to getting the most out of any vacation, and Poolin Around’s roomy bedroom is furnished with that in mind. Perfectly made up with extra bedding at the ready, this spacious room is outfitted with a sumptuous king-size bed and two nightstands with reading lamps. Prop yourself up against the pillows and read, surf the web via the free Wi-Fi or, if you’re feeling wakeful, flip on the large, flat-screen cable TV and catch up on your favorite shows.

Just off the bedroom, Poolin Around’s primary bath, well supplied with fresh towels, is ready if your first order of business is a shower to wash off the travel dust. And what a shower it is! The beautiful tiled, glassed-in shower stall has dual shower heads, and is so roomy you’ll be tempted to linger under the soothing steam. Even the well-lit vanity is extra-roomy! With a super-long counter, there’s plenty of space for all your toiletries (your partner’s, too). The cabin also hosts a half-bath for extra convenience as well as a stacking washer and dryer to keep your wardrobe fresh.

The star of Poolin Around, however, is definitely the indoor heated saltwater pool on the lower level. Go ahead double the entertainment – an enormous, 85 inch TV lets you watch a flick while you lounge in the water. And this pool is open all year – just close the huge bay door to keep out the chill. You’ll love having the luxury of your own private pool to retreat to whenever you like, any time of year! During the warmer months, open the bay door to the outside for easy access to a gas fire pit, Adirondack chairs and charcoal grill. There’s also a hot tub with room for your whole group…for a truly magical experience, soak among the steamy bubbles in the evening as owls hoot and whip-poor-wills trill beneath a canopy of stars.

With everything Poolin Around has to offer, you may never want to leave! But if you don’t, you’ll miss all the fun of Dollywood, Gatlinburg Golf Course, Parrot Mountain and Gardens, the Titanic Museum, shops and dinner theaters that are mere minutes away. Not to mention all the activities the Great Smoky Mountains have to offer outdoor adventurers, from skiing to hiking.

So stop foolin’ around and book your best vacation yet at Poolin Around today!

This trip was great! Our seven year old son enjoyed the pool while we sat and watched tv most nights after a long day of exploring. We saw several bears, and played a lot of foosball. This cabin is super close to downtown Gatlinburg, but far enough off the beaten path that it’s out of the busyness, and on a nice dead end road with little traffic.Our only recommendation would be to add a light to the drive that also shines on the steps or just lights to the front steps. At night time the porch light is not enough light to navigate them safely. We used a flashlight to take our dog out so we managed. Overall we LOVED this cabin and will definitely be back.

Great Location - Daily Bear Visits

The location of the cabin gave us quick and easy access to all attractions in the area.The highlight of the trip was that the complex comes with its own bear who makes its rounds every evening.

Relaxing getaway

This was a last minute get away for my husband and I. Time to relax after the crazy holidays. We were excited about having a private indoor pool and a hot tub. Wow! we really enjoyed both areas. Watched football on the theater while relaxing in the pool! VERY clean and spacious, beautiful surroundings!

Stay was even better than expected

The cabin was wonderful! Awesome location. Very clean. Hot tub and fire pit outside, heated pool inside. We did see a bear the first morning, which was exciting. We were wary of the policy of sending a picture of myself holding my drivers license but we did and everything seems to be fine. We would definitely stay again!

Memorial weekend getaway

What an amazing place Poolin' around is! Conveniently located in the Smokey mountains and minutes away from Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The cabin is magical.... nestled in the woods. We especially loved the fire pit! This place has everything: indoor pool, hot tub, large kitchen with every appliance you need. The bedroom and bathrooms were very comfortable and very clean!

Anniversary Trip

My wife and I rented this cabin for our 10 year anniversary trip. The cabin was very clean and inviting. It is conviently located a few miles from downtown Gatlinburg. The neighborhood was very nice and quiet. The pool was a great amenity and it was warm in the pool area even though the temperature outside got down in the 40's. I would definitely recommend this cabin.

Great space

It’s a great cabin in an awesome location. The pool and hot tub are great. I wouldn’t personally recommend it for any more than two people though, it’s a bit of a tight space. But really perfect for you and your partner. Make sure to bring hand soap, there was oddly none anywhere in the cabin.

Nice place, would stay again

Nice place with great location. Could not get the projector to work downstairs which would have been nice while in the pool. We thought the cabin was great overall but the furniture in the the living room not the most comfortable, a little worn out. Would stay again but will get directions on how the projector works.

Weekend getaway

The amenities of the property was great. The pool 100% lived up to our expectations. Though the picture of the TV in the listing is bigger than what was actually in the cabin. When visiting Gatlinburg or places similar. My only suggestion is to be vigilant of your surroundings of The wildlife. While the Bears are semi domesticated, they are wild animals. You will have close encounters with them, protect your pets by respecting their boundaries. We had a great time and was very impressed with our cabin.

Accurate description

Small, one bedroom cabin in a cluster of approx. 15 cabin rentals. We stayed with our 14 year old daughter over the Easter weekend, the cabin was as advertised, however, there was no keurig, curling iron, or an adequate number of pool towels. The theater projector in the pool room did not work. We contacted service and they came out the next day and could not get the unit working. So don't expect the big screen in the pool room to work. The pool was about twice the size of the hottub and the temp was set at 92 and you cannot change it per the contract. There is a fair amount of noise coming from the pool room heater that runs all day and night and doesn't shut off. There is no mirror in the second half bathroom downstairs. Other then those hiccups, the place was clean and the management rental company, JACKSON Mountain cabin rentals was easy to deal with. They were not able to fix the home theater but they answered questions upon our arrival adequately.

Beautiful.....but bears.....

The place was nice and quiet. We would only have 2 complaints really and one is completely out of human control lol....the only real problem we had was that there wasnt any skillets really big enough to cook for our family of 4 but it was no big deal and we made it work...the secont problem we had was the bears....they were pretty and we LOOOVED seeing them but it was an EXTREME amount (again we understand this is out of anyones control lol) but you literally COULD NOT be outside without being on high alert at all times! I get that this is not a problem for everyone but for a family with kids its a definite concern! All in all it was a great trip and a beautiful place....and if you want to see bears, you will FOR SURE see them here!

Property is convenient to town and close, property was not cleaned. There was no dishes to cook with pans for cooking there was spiders and all of the pans there was bugs all around the pool. There was bugs and all of the windowsills of the property that was alive. It definitely wasn’t cleaned before coming.when we arrived it was a hassle getting in!

Good but don’t believe the pictures.

I gave this a 2 because the cabin just hasn’t been maintained well or something. The garage door with the pool area the broken. So that was a bummer. The TV in the pool room stopped working the last day we were there. The hot tub was a HUGE disappointment!! The jets have no pressure. The bed is comfortable. The in closed porch is nice for furry babies. Terrible water pressure!!
