Perfect Spot

This property was the perfect distance from all we wanted to do in the area. Close enough that we weren't traveling too much yet far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas. The evenings were beautiful and quiet. Our host was very helpful when we had questions about anything. We would definitely choose to stay here if we plan to visit the area again.

Peaceful

We had a wonderful time as a family of 5. We loved staying in this quiet community to find rest and rejuvenation while also enjoying the closeness of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We spent most days traveling into the cities and then would come back to relax in the hot tub. Definitely an A + in our minds! Highly recommend!

Fantastic….

Absolutely wonderful, clean, well stocked place to stay for me, my husband and 4 year old. It had everything we needed and was beautifully decorated for the season. Great communication from Sylvia who is very responsive and went out of her way to provide everything we needed. The neighborhood, hot tub and views are wonderful. I cannot say enough. Would absolutely stay here again. Have already recommended to my family & friends!!

Clean Quiet and Hospitality at its Finest!

Great comfortable and well appointed home. Everything we needed and more. Sylvia was so responsive and we experienced little gestures of her hospitality throughout the home. This home was one of the cleanest we’ve ever stayed. Linens/ towels/cleaning supplies/toilet paper/paper towels/laundry detergent/coffee were all provided. It’s an easy 25ish minute drive to Dollywood/Apple Barn/Old Mill/Outlets. Parking at the home was ample and easy. Can’t recommend this home & Sylvia’s hospitality enough. We would like to come back!

Great experience

This was our first time ever renting a house instead of a hotel and it was an awesome experience from start to finish. The house was great and exceeded our expectations. We had two families (4 adults and 7 kids) there was room for everyone. The host was great about keeping in contact with us and checking in if we needed anything. Highly recommend this property and host. Property was away from all of the crowds but not too far. Was nice to come back to a house in a quiet area after dealing with crowds all day. I look forward to renting from them again and plan on making this a once or twice a year trip.

Amazing home away from home

Sylvia was a fabulous hostess. She was friendly and responsive in a timely fashion both before and during our stay. She gave me helpful suggestions of where to shop, eat and things to do nearby and in the towns we were visiting. Her home was beautifully decorated, welcoming and comfortable. My only 'complaint' is that the listing did not mention the many stairs we had to go down/up to move in and out. Seeing as we are a family of 4, staying for 6 days, we had many bags and containers of groceries to unload and reload. We would definitely stay again in the future.

Just what we needed!

This property was just what our family of 4 needed! We appreciate a super clean rental and it was just that! We stayed on the top half of the rental and had plenty of space and comforts. The location was beautiful and away from the hustle and bustle of the areas many tourist attractions, yet still close enough for a quick run to the store. Although we were very active drove many miles each day doing a variety of different activities, we always looked forward to returning to this lovely house! Each evening our two boys would end their day in the pool or bike ride around the safe neighborhood! We felt like it was our own home, seemed to have the pool to ourselves often and enjoyed meeting some of the friendly neighbors on walks! Hats off to Sylvia and Art for excellent communication and help when we had questions! We already miss this place!

This was our second time staying here. Were very satisfied both times. The Gasts are super nice and very accommodating. One plus about the house is the fact it is directly across the street from the pool. My wife likes the way Mrs. Gast decorates the inside according to the season. Would definitely recommend this location.

We loved it!

This house was perfect for our needs. The boys had the bottom. Girls had the top. The pool was right there for the teens to enjoy. There was plenty of room for us to all be together, make dinner, eat together, watch tv & just hang out. They provided so much more than the bare minimum that you find at many houses. Do be careful of your GPS trying to lead you astray. Getting your vehicle up that hill may prove to be more than interesting! But it was the perfect location. Quiet. Quick trip to grocery stores & sites. You will love it! & the host was amazing! She was reaching out to me to make sure everything was good. You don't get that often from hosts!

About the host

Hosted by Art and Sylvia Gast

Host profile image
Hi! We are Art and Sylvia Gast. We recently retired and fell in love with east Tennessee, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Sevierville, Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. After living in Georgia for 33 years, we sold our 1893 Victorian home in Royston, Georgia that we lived in for 20 years after our four children grew up, got married and graduated from college. After looking for a year, we found our beautiful lakeside home, the Sanctuary, and closed on it end of November, 2020.

We have discovered a new passion in hiking! The thing we love most about hiking in the Smokies is the beauty of the four seasons. Not to mention the gorgeous scenery and the benefits of fresh air, sunshine and exercise!

We invite you to stay in our home and fall in love with the Mountains and Douglass Lake! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. We look forward to meeting you in person!
