Summary:
Welcome to Hiker's Lodge, a cozy three-bedroom, three-bathroom vacation rental cabin in the heart of Gatlinburg, TN! We're not just dog-friendly, we're downright dog-loving! Nestled at the end of a private cul-de-sac, Hiker's Lodge is a paradise for both two-legged and four-legged guests. We welcome up to two dogs, and yes, additional fees do apply. Nature enthusiasts, take note! Right behind the house, a private hiking trail beckons, leading you into the valley, offering a scenic escape like no other. It's the perfect spot to stroll with your furry friend.
As you step inside the cabin on the main level, you'll be greeted by an inviting open-concept layout. The gathering area is a cozy retreat featuring comfortable furnishings, a toasty gas fireplace, and a generously sized TV (the owner does not provide cable services, but several free streaming services are available. Also, guests can log in to their own cable provider accounts, such as Spectrum, Xfinity, Netflix, Hulu Live, or YouTube TV, etc.). Next up, the kitchen area, thoughtfully stocked with everything you need to whip up delicious meals – just bring your groceries! The dining table is perfect for enjoying shared meals and fun-filled game nights with your loved ones.
The main level also boasts a welcoming king bedroom with a private bath, ensuring you have all the comfort you need. For those who relish outdoor cooking, the deck area provides a handy gas grill, allowing you to savor your culinary creations in the crisp Smoky Mountain air. Each bedroom has a Smart TV to access your apps.
Venture upstairs, and you'll discover another inviting king bedroom with Smart TV, complete with its own private bathroom, offering a peaceful retreat within your retreat. Its closet has been converted into a "kids' cave," home to built-in bunk beds, children's books, etc. If you'd prefer to have your little ones close by at night, this is a great additional option for a family-friendly sleeping arrangement!
The lower level is home to yet another king bedroom with Smart TV and bathroom, and a game room that's an entertainment paradise. Challenge your skills at the pool table or cozy up by the second gas fireplace. Need extra sleeping space? There's a bunk bed with a twin XL over queen for added convenience.
Outside on the lower level deck, your personal oasis awaits – the hot tub! It's the perfect spot to melt away your worries and stress while soaking in the serenity of your natural surroundings.
