* Parking will fit about 4 vehicles depending on size of the vehicle * There is a parking area that is 2 minutes away
IMPORTANT: Our cabin is nestled in one of the closest locations to downtown Gatlinburg and on a mountain so we have parking for 3 cars. You can’t park on the street because of the city guidelines and many tour buses go right by the house on the way up to Anakeesta.
We have heard others have success parking at the bottom of the hill at the Papa John’s parking lot but we cannot guarantee, you should check the signs first. Other people have mentioned parking at the Food City on the east parkway approximately 2 miles away.
The city of Gatlinburg has paid parking lots as well, which is probably the safest. We apologize for the parking situation. Everything is regulated in the city of Gatlinburg.
Please note, given the cabin’s mountainous location, prepare for steep and potentially challenging driving conditions as you approach. It’s always a good idea to check weather conditions before your trip to ensure safe travel!
Please note that our cabin is located in a mountainous, wooded area, and it is possible to occasionally encounter local wildlife and insects such as beetles, ants, flies, scorpions, bees, hornets, or other native bugs—especially during warmer months. While we have regular professional pest control and thorough cleanings, a completely bug-free environment cannot be guaranteed due to the natural setting. Thank you for your understanding!
While our property aims to be pet-friendly, we currently only accommodate dogs. To prioritize the safety and comfort of all guests, we have some breed restrictions in place as required by our insurance policy. We also kindly ask that your dog weighs no more than 65 lbs.
Please note that our pet fee is $125 per pet, per stay, with a maximum of 2 pets allowed on the property. If you add one pet to your reservation, the system will only apply the fee for a single pet. If you plan to bring a second pet, the additional $125 fee will need to be settled separately. In that case, please be sure to reach out to us directly so we can document the second pet on your reservation and assist with the payment process.
Please see our restricted list below: Pit bulls Staffordshire Bull Terrier Terriers (Terrier breeds require pre-approval. Please contact us to discuss your specific terrier)
To ensure a safe and comfortable stay for all guests, all dogs are subject to approval. Management reserves the right to adjust the breed restrictions at any time. Please reach out to us first before booking to confirm if your pet can be accommodated.
