Weekend with Friends

We loved the river front location. It was a beautiful view. Addtnl feature everyone liked was the full bath off each of the 5 bedrooms. Close enough to town to walk to dinner, shopping, Anakeesta., etc. We would rent this house again if in Gatlinburg.

Relaxing Fishing/Quilting trip.

Blake was good at communicating with me before, during, and after. The house and property was perfect for what we wanted for the week. Fishing was excellent right out the back door. Visited several quilt stores with the wife within 30 miles. Would enjoy visiting again sometime in the future.

Convenient Gatlinburg Stay

We enjoyed our stay at this property. Convenient location to downtown Gatlinburg and other activities. One of the reasons we booked was trout fishing. Only drawback was there was not direct access to the river from the property except from the stone wall which worked fine for my teen and myself to scale. Property was well represented in photos, was clean and well maintained, provided excellent instructions for check in and our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and activities in the area and would definitely rebook!

Girl’s Trip 2025

This property is perfectly located to downtown Gatlinburg. We enjoyed the two decks that overlook a beautiful creek. The interior was spacious and accommodated my 7 friends and myself with ease. The kitchen was fully stocked with anything you might want to use for cooking and each drawer was labeled for identification of what was in them. The 5 bedrooms and bathrooms are perfect for a group. We definitely will use this place again on a return trip!

Great Space and Great Location!

My family and I loved this place. There were 10 of us and two little ones and the downstairs area had plenty enough space for all of us to sit and enjoy each other’s company comfortably. The kitchen is well stocked and having every bedroom with its own bath was definitely a plus. We loved being right on the river and one of us even did a polar plunge, brrr!!! I can’t say enough about how clean the place was and the location was great. We walked everywhere. We’d definitely stay here again

The property was great. The location was fantastic..... backing up to the river that runs through Gatlinburg and being only a few minute walk to hillbilly golf. The interior was very well decorated, with comfortable furniture, lots of space, and the kitchen was very well stocked with anything you might need. I Forget would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Blake Cross

Host profile image
My wife and I have been living in Gatlinburg since 2018. We love living here and getting to share what we have with visiting guests. Our desire is for people to leave happier than they came, and spread the good word that Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge is a "well worth it" place to visit!

Why they chose this property

Our criteria for the properties we buy are high quality, good roads to and from the cabin, and location. This property has it all! To sit on the back deck and enjoy the river, to walk to downtown, to enjoy the high quality property during your vacation, what more could one ask for on a getaway!

What makes this property unique

The unique benefits to this property are obvious. To be slightly repetitive, you cannot beat this location. As Gatlinburg grows and more and more people have to stay further than 30 minutes from downtown, this property is IN downtown already! You can walk to downtown within 10 minutes, or you can walk 5 minutes to the nearest Trolley Stop. But nothing is more unique than being ON the Little Pigeon River!! It is so beautiful and relaxing, everything one could ask for on a vacation.
