Recent 5 Star Review - “This house was absolutely perfect for our little family. The views were amazing and we loved the peaceful setting, especially after sight seeing and all the chaos of being in the nearby towns. The biggest thing for us was how clean the house was. Especially with small children who spend a lot of time playing on the floor, knowing how well the home owners take care of the space and make sure it is clean for the guests is such a comfort. Would definitely recommend Kelley's rentals to anyone looking.”

Perfect Anniversary Trip

This was exactly what I imagined when I began searching for a rental for our 30th anniversary celebration. Although the drive up to the cabin was initially a nail biter, we got used to it pretty quickly. The cabin was spotless when we arrived and generally excellently maintained. The best part was the fall mountain view. I will definitely rent here again if we return.

Spectacular

Loved it... Driving up from Shenandoah, we were surprised upon entering the grounds by two bears hunkering on the side of the road! The place was beautifully appointed - and had spectacular views of the mountains. Conveniently located close to grocery shops (Food City, for those curious) and Gatlinburg (moonshine shops), as well as the main attraction, the Smokey Mountain National Park itself. Loved it.

Wonderful home away from home.

Loved staying at Mockingbird Perch. Very new and clean. Perfect size for four of us. Would be a little cramped with six people but very doable. It was a little far from Gatlinburg if you want to make lots of trips there but very nice for the seclusion.

About the host

Hosted by Kelley Maddox

Host profile image
Hey there! Welcome to Mockingbird Perch!! We’ve always dreamed of having a cozy cabin in the Smoky mountains. After raising two girls and spending years on the road following their college softball teams, we finally made that dream a reality. We love traveling, hiking, and lately, we’ve picked up a new obsession—pickleball! Oh, and we’ve had some sweet additions to the family. We’ve got a precious granddaughter and grandson, born just two weeks apart in 2022, and two more little ones joined us in 2024. Y’all, bein' grandparents is the best!

Why they chose this property

Every year when I was growing up, my family visited Gatlinburg for a long weekend. As a family with 2 boys and 1 girl, there was always lots to do that included everyone. I still feel that is true today. Whether you want an action packed week or just some quiet down time, this is the perfect place!

What makes this property unique

We love to be outdoors so Mockingbird Perch was great fit for our family. Hiking is one of our passions and we knew we wanted to be close to the Smoky Mountain National Park. As a side note, we like the resort because it is far enough away from to feel like you are away from it all, but close enough to enjoy all the fun things the area has to offer. Also, we feel fortunate to have a cabin in a resort that takes great care of the roads and provides a seasonal pool and pickleball courts. Our favorite time at the cabin is at night when we sit under the stars and catch up with each other. Oh and the hot tub with a mountain view is pretty amazing too!!! It is our hope that our cabin will bring family and friends together.
