About this property

Gatlinburg, Pet Friendly, Secluded yet Close to Everything, Hot Tub, Games!!!

Shiner’s Hollow is nestled away on over 2 acres where you’ll feel remote yet close to the action of Gatlinburg. This house has 3 bedrooms that sleep 8 guests with 2 bathrooms and a large deck, perfect for early morning coffee or evening cocktails. Relax in the outdoor hot tub for an evening soak and roast smores in the fire pit for family campfire bonding. We would love to host you for an unforgettable mountain vacation! We are proud to offer a 1 gigabit high-speed WiFi Internet connection to keep you and your guests connected and entertained. Relax in the media room with a big screen TV for movies and sports, a pool table and foosball that will have everyone competing for bragging rights. Soak in the relaxing 2-person jacuzzi. Enjoy late night laughs with TVs in each bedroom. Brings the entire family together for stories and board games with a gas fireplace in the living room. Decompress after a fun day in Gatlinburg or the Smokeys with the outdoor hot tub and fire pit.
After every guest stay, Shiner’s Hollow is professionally cleaned for a more enjoyable experience. We’ll communicate with you before, during, and after your stay. We are reachable through Airbnb’s messaging system, phone, and email attending to any needs as they may arise.
Shiner’s Hollow is in east Gatlinburg, close to the action and hustle and bustle of Gatlinburg with a back road to get you to Pigeon Forge and Sevierville faster. For those wanting to stretch their legs, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is just down the road. Enjoy hiking and overnight backpacking seeing some of the most gorgeous views the southeast has to offer. The 11-mile hiking and biking trail of Cades Cove is a highlight! At Ober Gatlinburg, everyone in the family can have fun! Whether you’re skiing or snowboard, tubing down the snow an innertube, lacing up skates for ice skating, or racing one another on the alpine slide, the fun will never stop! For the foodies in the group, feast on true southern cooking at a plethora of restaurants. A personal favorite is the Apple Barn in Pigeon Forge, where the apple fritters and julep are salivating. Gatlinburg has a thriving arts and crafts scene, and Shiner’s Hollow is right around the corner from Buckhorn Road with amazing artists ready to show you some of their latest creations. The area is well known for its family-friendly entertainment, so take in the sights and sounds of Ripley’s Believe It or Not, The Stampede, and The Titanic. Dolly Parton’s Dollywood is the amusement park never to be missed with a theme and water park, along with displays setup during Christmas.

Cozy and peaceful

We loved our stay at Shiner’s Hollow! It was tucked back in and felt private and peaceful. The house was far enough off the beaten path that we didn’t have to deal with the busyness of downtown Gatlinburg but close enough that it didn’t take long to get there. The house was cozy and clean. It felt spacious inside. The pool table and hot tub were great amenities! We would definitely stay at Shiner’s Hollow again.

Just perfect

This home was perfect for our family of 5. We loved the big yard and outdoor space. Not up high in the mountains and easy to get to town. Clean and inviting. The Christmas decor was a welcome surprise. We’d definitely stay here again!

Dream home away from home.

My family adored this property to the point that it’s the inspiration for our dream home. It is nestled in the woods, it was nice falling asleep to hooting owls and waking up to the birds chirping. The home was clean, organized and cozy. It was by far our best stay of any vacation we have ever had. I researched for weeks before booking this cottage, and I am so happy we selected this one. It’s perfect.

Wonderful

This property was perfect for all of our needs. It was clean, had a spacious game room and stocked kitchen. The property sits back and is secluded and private which was great for our dogs. The owners were very responsive and easy to work with. Also, location to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge was roughly ten and twenty minutes respectively which was awesome. Overall, would definitely stay here again and I would highly recommend!

So clean, comfortable, and convenient!

My family loved this house from the moment we walked in. It was welcoming and looked and smelled clean. The layout was perfect for us -- cozy but enough space for everyone to have their own downtime. The kids loved the bunk bed/game room. We enjoyed the hot tub, the proximity to town and the arts and crafts colony, and the peace of coffee on the deck with the birds (including a special cardinal who greeted us every morning). We greatly appreciated the comfortable beds, nice linens, and quality towels. I wholeheartedly recommend Shiner's Hollow.

Great Location & Great Hosts

The property is secluded, but close to downtown Gatlinburg and the park. That is a great plus...to be able to get away from the crowds and relax after a long day of hiking. The house has been remodeled well. Converting the garage into a family room and extending the master bedroom made the place perfect. We very much enjoyed everything about the house. I also can't say enough about the responsiveness of the hosts. Not that anything was wrong, but they were quick and informative with their communication. They really make it easy to check in/out and provide information. The house is well stocked, something which is not entirely common in our experience renting houses. Anyway, overall we were very happy with the house and location and hosts.

Would stay again

It appeared the be the cleanest non hotel place I've stayed at. I would definitely stay again. The property in the photos appears to show a large, walkable clearing when it is actually a big dip/valley that would only be accessible to people much fitter than me. Regardless, there was a nice long driveway to walk the dogs. There was a large assortment of pots and pans, blender, toaster, utensils etc. The coffee pot was very versatile, using pods as well as basket filters. I wish there had been a couple of dish rags and more than one dish towel. There was a ton of dishwasher packs but a tiny bottle of dish soap that we quickly ran out of, partially because the hand soap was nearly empty so we used dish soap to wash our hands also. The washer/dryer was great. I love not having to a bunch of dirty clothes home. All in all it was a very relaxing stay and we would come back.

Disappointed

Property was not cleaned from previous guest. Host was quick to response. We had to leave so cleaner could come to clean house. There was still trash under chairs in living room. Hot tub was not usable until the third day of our 4 day stay. Gas logs did not work. Host claimed it worked for previous guest. The dust in fireplace showed a different story. The outside fire pit was not usable as it was not in porch as shown in add. The fire pit was at the edge of the woods with no chairs around it. This trip was for our 25 anniversary so we were disappointed.

Fantastic location!

My husband and I recently stayed here for our anniversary trip and the location was excellent. Nice and quiet but still close enough where you didn’t feel like you were driving all day. The house itself was very clean and had plenty of room. Our dogs LOVED the yard. They were able to get out and run which they love to do. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location for hiking in the GSMNP

We enjoyed our stay at Shiner’s Hollow, which was conveniently located for access to the national park. A grocery store was also only a short drive away. There were four adults and four kids under 7y in our group, and the house worked well for our needs. The dining table was a little small but fit everyone when we added a bench and a high chair. The kitchen was well stocked.
