Who We Are

Your Hosts

Welcome! We are a family of four generations that have been enjoying the Great Smoky Mountains for many, many years. We decided a few years ago that if we needed to find a house big enough for our family of 20, then maybe other families needed large houses to accommodate their gathering. We have 3 large houses in our portfolio and one small house in town. We love the GSMNP and spend most of our time there. We often make a trip to Dollywood but always have a picnic at the Chimneys Picnic Area and float the stream at Metcalf Bottoms. We've done it ALL in the Smokies, so if you have any questions, just call! We will personally answer the phone!

LOVE STAYING HERE

We stayed for a long weekend to enjoy Gatlinburg. I was pleased with how close the house was to the fun of Gatlinburg but it was away from the traffic and congestion. Everything was comfortable, clean, and in working order. We enjoyed the hot tub to relax after a busy day. The kitchen was large and well stocked but we mostly ate at the great restaurants that are nearby. There was ample space for my family of 4 and my friends family of 3. The kids loved the bunk bed room! It was quiet and safe enough for the kids to play in the yard of the house. I will definitely recommend this property to my friends in the future!

Meredith was very responsive and the home was very clean with everything we needed. I was on a trip with my cousins and the home was great. The hot tub was awesome we spent hours in it! There was an issue with the washing machine but it was fixed right away during our stay Meredith sent maintenance for us. I couldn't tell what the surrounding area looked like from her pictures I suggest using Google maps to get a full picture of the area. The residence is 15 - 30 minutes driving from Smokey mountain trails! If you're looking to be close to the mountains and downtown Gatlinburg this is the place!

The description of the house is accurate & the location is fantastic. There were a few hiccups along the way, however Meridith & her very sweet granddad were beyond fantastic to communicate with & solved the issue very quickly. Sadly this area did see some damage from the fire, however this home by the grace of God survived & is safe! We enjoyed our stay here & overall our group of 8 was very happy & pleased with our accomadations. We've been vacationing in the smokies for 11 years & this is the first time we've used an air bnb for our house, very glad we did.

A lovely spacious house close to the town of Gatlinburg (and walkable is you are OK with walking 25 minutes) but far enough away to be out of the weekend craziness. Easy access to the National Park too. We easily drove from there to Cades Cove, Clingman Dome and to the very nearby Greenbrier which was lovely with spring flowers. The pancake house at the bottom of the hill was also great! The house is very comfortable and is great for families with a room of bunk beds and the hot tub was a great addition. Well equipped with kitchen items, grill, a couple of games, TV etc. Just missing a few homely essentials to ease the shopping for groceries burden such as olive oil, some tea/coffee, sufficient dish washer tablets and clothes washing liquid etc. Not a spoiler of a great weekend - was just a frustration after staying in many Air BnBs where these things are usually available.

Meredith was readily available. This home is very comfortable. It is private yet close to everything you need. Highly recommended!

Our stay at Bear Hollow was a great experience! This was many of my travel mates' first times staying in an AirBnb-booked place, and they were blown away with the comfort of it compared to a hotel. We loved being able to cook our own meals and not have to eat fast-food constantly, the hot tub was amazing, and we loved even having a washer and dryer on site! We even got to do "hikes" by walking up the roads surrounding the cabin to get exercise and see the scenery. Whenever we had a question, I was able to text Meredith and get a response back quickly; she was super helpful! We will definitely be keeping Bear Hollow in mind for our next trip to Gatlinburg :)

Will definitely be the first place I check for availability if I ever make it back to Gatlinburg! Well kept, comfy beds, big dining table and open living, kitchen, and dining area. Hot tub was a life saver after our cold hikes in the smokies. Host was easy to communicate with. All around great airbnb experience and would recommend 100%.
