Ponies in the Smokies Visit

This little cabin was perfect for our stay to visit the Convention Center in Sevierville. All the items in here were well thought out as far as needs go for your vacation stay. I would have liked a grill or flat iron to cook outside but we managed without it. The owner was very prompt with replies and we had no issues.

GO JAGS!!

Outside property looked very nice. Entering onto the porch with rockers very inviting although to chilly to sit. Entering very cozy. 2 bedrooms with each a restroom makes it nice for multiple people. Eveything you would need in the kitchen. Back screened in patio with rockers would again been nice if better weather. Enjoyed our stay, great communication with property manager. Thank you very much. Will keep in mind for future visits to the area.

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Gothard

For many years our parents traveled out West to dig rocks. Dad enjoyed cutting stones & making beautiful jewelry; mom enjoyed wearing it. They named their cabin American Gem because of their love for this great country and their wonderful hobby.

Why they chose this property

Buying this cabin was the fulfillment of a dream. They had a wonderful place to enjoy in the Smoky Mountains, and a place to share with others. They loved the quiet surroundings, the convenient location and the relaxed pace. Now they have passed on this blessing to their children, grandchildren & people like you to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

You will find that American Gem's screened back porch is most inviting. There is ample room to sit & relax. A picnic table sets outside by the porch. Within both bedrooms there is a jacuzzi tub in addition to their own individual bathroom. The cabin is roomy & cozy...We consider it a rare find with lots of TLC.
