Why You'll Love Staying at Gateway to the Smokies

The perfect base for visiting Dollywood, this two-bedroom, two bath cabin is located conveniently close to downtown Pigeon Forge, yet it’s also a quiet retreat. Gateway to the Smokies accommodates up to six guests with ease, giving you fun in town and peace in your cabin home.

Living Room

This contemporary living room has everything you want for ultimate relaxation! Plump, plush sofas and chairs to sink into? Check. Put your feet up and catch a nap! Plenty of natural light? Check. Beautiful stacked stone fireplace, ideal for cozy nights? Check. Don’t forget the flat-screen TV. Kick off your shoes and start a movie–you’re home.

Kitchen

The fully equipped kitchen provides all the dishes, cookware and utensils you need. Bake cookies with the kids or try that new lasagna recipe you haven’t had time to make at home. This handy kitchen features appliances tucked into the walls to save space, plus a double sink and a smooth ceramic cooktop for easy clean-ups.

Dining Area

Gather around the farmhouse table to eat, play games or plan tomorrow’s fantastic day out in Pigeon Forge. This dark wood table seats six on classic slat-back chairs. The dining room is steps from the kitchen, so serving meals is quick and easy.

Bedrooms

You’ll wake up refreshed each morning after a great night’s rest on a luxurious, king-sized bed! Both bedrooms feature king mattresses, flat screen TVs and ceiling fans to keep you cool. Need more sleeping space? The queen sleeper sofa is a comfortable spot for additional family members or friends.

Two full bathrooms give everyone room to get ready for a day of rides at The Island or shopping along the Parkway. One bathroom has a shower and tub combo while the other has a roomy shower stall.

For extra pampering, enjoy the jetted tub, tucked into its own special alcove. Jets of warm water massage your tired muscles. Drink a glass of local fruit wine while you soak.

Outdoor Spaces

Take a deep breath. That fresh, sweet mountain air does a world of good! Gateway to the Smokies gives you a front porch and a back deck where you can hang out and relish the cool woods surrounding the cabin. More than 240 species of birds live in East Tennessee–how many can you spot flitting in the branches?

A bubbling hot tub on the deck is all yours, day or night. Try a late-night dip with your sweetheart, under the stars.

Perfect Location

We have been staying in Pigeon Forge area every year for over 20 years but this was our first time in this cabin. The cabin was perfect for our family within walking distance to the pool. We loved how it felt far from the busyness but we still very close to all of the locations we wanted to go. Definitely will be back!

Cozy and convenient!

We had a great stay at Gateway to the Smokies as a group of 4 adults and 1 infant. It was nice having one bedroom downstairs and one upstairs so we could have our separate spaces. It was also a plus for both bedrooms to have king beds. The fireplace and hot tub were great for chilly nights. Communication throughout the trip was seamless and check in/out was easy. We’d definitely stay here again!

Great location!

My husband and I stayed during Christmas. We brought our dogs with us. Communication was wonderful. They checked in with us to make sure we checked in easily. It was close to everything. It was close to Parkway, Kroger and a short drive to Gatlinburg and Sevierville. They didn't have a quilt on the upstairs bed but we found one in the closet. There was some construction going on next to the cabin so there was some noise in the mornings but besides that it was a super quiet area. We really enjoyed ourselves and look forward to coming back.
