LOVELY ❀ SPACIOUS ❀ PEACEFUL 3/2 CABIN IN THE POPULAR ARTS & CRAFTS COMMUNITY!!*


USA/Tennessee/Gatlinburg {in Arts & Crafts Community} Vacation Rental


3 bedroom, 2 bath vacation cabin sleeps 8 (3 Queens, 1 Queen Sofa, 1 Queen Air Bed)


GATLINBURG, TENNESSEE ~ Stay TOGETHER and forget about booking tacky, noisy, dirty, cramped, impersonal hotel rooms with no kitchen, washer/dryer, or outdoor fire pit {how else would you make s'mores?!}. And don't settle on a place way out-of-town forcing you to spend half your vacation stuck in the usual heavy traffic commuting to/from Gatlinburg during weekends, summers, holidays, and special events. "It's just not worth the few dollars you may save" we constantly see posted on social media from those who have made this mistake. Time is precious. Waste it wisely.

This charming 3 bedroom/2 bathroom cabin sleeps 8 {3 queen beds and a queen-size sleeper sofa} and is located in the popular Arts & Crafts community of Gatlinburg.^ It is NOT on a mountain, so is easily accessible year-round by any type of vehicle! The driveway, with a new carport, can accommodate up to three standard vehicles. Although the cabin is a short stroll to many good shops and eateries {no sidewalk on actual street but new paved walking trail for safety/convenience about a block away at end of street}, free trolleys are available to take you to the downtown "strip". There you will find Ripley's Aquarium, Anakeesta, Space Needle, Sky Park, popular stores, delicious restaurants, moonshine bars, and various entertainment. The cabin is also conveniently located near the Gatlinburg Convention Center, the Gatlinburg Dog Park, the Ober Gatlinburg ski slopes, Dollywood, and Smoky Mountains National Park. Many guests simply park at the post office and grab a free trolley from there for wherever they want to go, including Rocky Top Sports World and Gatlinburg Community Center:
https://www.facebook.com/pg/GatlinburgCommunityCenter/posts/?ref=page_internal {copy/paste link}
The Center is open all year and offers many fun, affordable recreation options. This includes a large/heated/indoor swimming pool that is available from June to September. Be aware that Gatlinburg is extremely strict about DUI's and there is NO Uber or Lyft service. The free trolley service throughout Gatlinburg is highly advised for all guests wishing to go downtown for moonshine tasting or cocktails. There is a trolley stop within walking distance of the cabin for those who prefer to do no driving at all.

PLEASE VISIT OUR 3/2.5 GATLINBURG CHALET WEB SITE: GatlinburgChaletRetreat.com. It may be available if this property is booked and is within walking distance to the downtown strip!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*IMPORTANT: In an effort to reduce the overwhelming inquiries we receive about availability, rates, holiday premiums, minimum nights required during certain holidays, and location, PLEASE check here {everything posted IS correct and current} and read ALL of the posted details PRIOR to contacting us. We are always happy to promptly answer any other questions. Or, please let us know if/when you are ready to book a reservation. We will then send you an itemized Invoice to review that reflects exactly what is posted here. {Online booking is not yet available}. Due to time constraints, frivolous inquiries ~ generic, those with no message, those that request information already posted, those that request a "quote"/"total"/"final price" {just multiply the number of nights by the posted rate, add the posted tax, add the posted cleaning charge, add the posted REFUNDABLE damage deposit, and add any applicable holiday premium/pet fee}, and those that request a rate reduction are deleted. As stated above, all posted reservation costs are clearly detailed on an Invoice for guests to review PRIOR to paying AFTER they advise us that they are ready to book. Thank you!

**HOLIDAY PREMIUMS: We add $50 {$100 if BOTH Christmas Eve or Day and New Year's Eve or Day are included} to EACH night of the reservation if it includes, INCLUDING check-out day, ANY Federal {please go to https://www.archives.gov/news/federal-holidays if not sure what they are} or Popular holiday. Popular holidays include Valentine's Day {$100 if BOTH Valentine's Day and Washington's Birthday are included}, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Mother's/Father's Day, Halloween, etc. Again, this is for "EACH night of the reservation", NOT just the holidays. The above Holiday Premiums also apply if the reservation is part of a HOLIDAY WEEKEND whether the actual holiday is included or not. Holiday Premiums are non-negotiable. {New deluxe Christmas tree stand provided if booked during that holiday}.

***PLEASE NOTE: There is a 4 NIGHT MINIMUM if EASTER, MEMORIAL DAY, JULY 4TH, LABOR DAY, COLUMBUS DAY, or VETERANS DAY is included, even on check-out day. There is a 6 NIGHT MINIMUM if THANKSGIVING is included, even on check-out day, and there is a 6 NIGHT MINIMUM from DECEMBER 23RD through JANUARY 1ST. Minimum nights are also non-negotiable. Sorry, for legal reasons, we do not accept reservations for more than 21 nights at a time. All such requests are deleted. Check-in can commence on any day of the week, if available, and we do not charge extra for weekends. Check-in time is 4:00 P.M. {never earlier as a courtesy to our cleaning staff} and check-out time is 11:00 A.M. Eastern Time, OR guest can choose a 6:00 P.M. check-in and a 1:00 P.M. check-out. The later option must be chosen BEFORE the rental agreement is drafted.

BOOKING FEES: Unlike large online vacation rental sites, we do not charge any "Booking Fee" or "Service Fee" when booking directly through us with ZellePay. There is no "middle man" that requires a ridiculous commission! {Please see below for additional details}.

CLEANING CHARGE: There is a standard departure Cleaning Charge of $175 {recently increased in order to retain 5* rated cleaners} added to each reservation for this spacious 3 bedroom/2 bathroom property. ALL vacation rentals have a cleaning fee in addition to their posted rates.

PET FEE: Dogs Only Allowed {MUST Be Completely House-Broken, Totally Flea-Free, Very Well-Behaved, & Crated When Left Alone If Necessary} ~ Non-Refundable Flat $50 Fee Per Dog. There is No Limit on the Amount of Dogs, the Size of Dogs, the Weight of Dogs, or the Breed of Dogs. Please Disclose if You Will Have a Dog{s} When You Submit Your Initial Inquiry. A $100 Fee Will Apply if the Rental Agreement Needs to be Re-Drafted to Include Any Dogs After the Booking has been Made {Excludes Pet Fee}.

TAX: 14% {Rentals that do not charge this mandatory city/county/state total tax are illegal and NOT licensed or regulated}.

REFUNDABLE DAMAGE DEPOSIT: 25% of the base rental amount or $250, whichever is greater {double for foreign guests and for those under the age of 25}. This is standard policy of virtually all ZellePay and PayPal merchants since, as further explained below, we do not obtain our guests' confidential credit card information as collateral.

DEPOSITS: To keep our rates competitive, we must keep our administrative costs low. Therefore, the full rental amount is due to confirm a reservation.

PAYMENT OPTIONS: Due to popular demand, we accept 2 convenient payment options ~ ZellePay {FREE to guest & FDIC insured} and all major Credit Cards via PayPal {3% to guest but still MUCH cheaper than the 12% minimum vacation rental sites charge}. Since the merchant {property owner} NEVER sees the user's {guest's} bank account or credit card information, the user's data can NOT be hacked! Additionally, since all merchants are thoroughly and regularly vetted, there are NO safer or more secure payment methods on the planet. Never provide your credit card information online to a third party {management company/vacation rental site} that charges you fees AND has unlimited access to make unauthorized charges to your account, which are extremely difficult to contest. Please Note: Due to credit card fraud, ZellePay is the only payment option offered for reservations 5 days or less away. Sorry ~ no exceptions.

DISCOUNTS: Our best rates are those posted and are FIRM. We do not offer any "last minute" deals, specials, or government/military discounts {although we love and appreciate those who serve}. All rate reduction requests are automatically considered generic. Such inquiries are reported as SPAM, blocked from the system, and immediately deleted. Accordingly, we kindly ask all travelers to please respect our posted rates. Thank you!

^LOCATION: This cabin is located on Shields View Drive. For obvious privacy/security/safety reasons, we never disclose the street number to strangers over the Internet. It is, of course, specified on the rental agreement. Please Google or MapQuest distances to points of personal interest {downtown strip, restaurants, shops, attractions, buildings, hiking trails, ski slopes, etc.} from the property's road. We are just not able to provide these types of concierge services, due to the high volume of requests we receive daily from potential guests. We appreciate your understanding. Sorry, EV charging is not permitted at this property. Please look up closest locations.

We have an additional dog-friendly 3 bedroom property in Gatlinburg that sleeps 8 {has KING-SIZE beds}. Please visit its Web site for complete details: GatlinburgChaletRetreat.com

OCCUPANCY: The non-negotiable posted 8 person maximum that this property sleeps/allows {per fire code} obviously includes children of ALL ages. If your group will exceed this limit, you will need to book a different property or book an additional property. Please be aware that there are, of course, exterior cameras surrounding the property that document the ingress/egress of all occupants/pets. The violation of any rule will result in immediate eviction and/or forfeiture of all monies paid, including damage deposit. {An extra charge per person will apply if the total amount of persons stated on the original inquiry form is increased after the reservation has been accepted and paid}. Thank you for your understanding and compliance.

LICENSING: We are fully-licensed {current city/county/state license/permit numbers available upon request}, insured, and regulated by the State of Tennessee. Additionally, we are inspected annually by the Gatlinburg Fire Department. Always confirm that whatever property you want to rent is legal and properly licensed BEFORE you pay anything. This is for your own protection and will assure that you have a great, hassle-free, and SAFE vacation.

GUEST COMMENTS: Negative reviews cannot be deleted or edited. Accordingly, we certify that everything posted here is 100% authentic. Please excuse any typos, etc. Reviews are from several sites, some of which always show the first day of the review month. Public responses are only posted from certain sites. Any lengthy gaps between reviews are because the property was owner-occupied, had long-term tenants, or the guest just did not get a chance to return the Feedback form before the cut-off date. Please note that we are award-winning {"Superhost"} owners, due to our consistent 5-star property reviews. It matters; never settle.

RENTAL AGREEMENT: Must be properly signed by the primary guest only and E-mailed back within 48-hours of being sent, or reservation will be automatically canceled with no notice. The primary/paying/non third-party guest who signs the rental agreement {current physical address required for it} must be at least 25 years of age {proof required via valid/current government-issued photo ID; passport/visa for foreign guests} unless posted damage deposit paid, or reservation will be automatically canceled with no notice. Please be aware that we reserve the right to decline travelers with poor language, communication, and/or reading skills for obvious reasons.

~ Always Rent OWNER-DIRECT if you desire prompt and excellent service that a management company is rarely able and/or willing to provide. Also, this way you will avoid paying the huge "Service Fee", etc., that large vacation rental sites charge, while using unsafe/third-party/overseas payment system software {i.e., Yapstone's "RentPayment"} that gets hacked. Please Google it for current class-action lawsuit details. Additionally, be aware that management companies are able to manipulate reviews on their sites by posting fraudulent ones and only the good ones {if any} from guests. ~
