Switch on the TV for entertainment while you lounge on the sofa or crack open that book you’ve been itching to read in the armchair. For more fun and games, there’s a foosball table! Cool tonight? Flip on the electric, heated fireplace to make your Gatlinburg condo rental extra cozy. It’s also a nice extra to help create a romantic setting to rekindle your love and reconnect with your spouse.

Outdoor Spaces
When you’re not visiting the Smoky Mountain Fairy House, kayaking with friends, or hiking trails to waterfalls, enjoy the outdoor spaces at your condo in Gatlinburg. Trees surround the property, inviting songbirds, adorable animals, and nature to your Gatlinburg vacation. Enjoy the lovely wooded views while soaking in your private hot tub daily. You can cook out with the charcoal, picnic-style grill. And there are chairs on your deck for coffee sips and chats in the great outdoors.

While staying at the lower-level unit of this cabin triplex in Gatlinburg, you’ll have your own parking area off the curvy, gravel driveway, meaning you won’t have to share with the other 2 units.
