About the host

Hosted by Geri

Host profile image
I live in Nashville and bought my first Smoky Mountain cabin in 2007 called Chocolate Moose. I fell in love with the area many years ago when Daddy would take the whole family to the area every year. I still remember how much I enjoyed & looked forward to every trip as a little girl. I love remodeling & decorating every cabin that I have bought, it is my passion. I hope everyone enjoys this cabin I named 'FOR THE GOOD TIMES ' as much as Buddy, my Great Pryncess & I have working on it for the past 6 months. Buddy's favorite spot is on the end of the deck watching for bears. He certainly is not disappointed as we see bears at this location daily, sometimes up to 3 & 4 times a day. Since the deck looks right down on Ski Mountain Road, he spots them right away. He is safe with the gated deck or I am sure he would take out after them. He barks and runs them back up the mountain or on down the road. They are such fun to watch & it is almost a guarantee that they will be around.

Why they chose this property

I bought the cabin next door to For the Good Times in 2015 and named it Dusty's Treehouse after my sweet little Shih Tzu, Dusty. When the owner of this cabin approached me to see if I would like to buy it, that was a no-brainer to have 2 cabins side-by-side for friends or families to rent.
