Stay in a Vintage Gatlinburg Motel! Now Pet Friendly!

The Fox Den is a 2 bedroom 2 bath Vintage Motel apartment. It was originally the owners house of the Fox Motel built in 1950s by our Grandparents that we have redone and converted to a nightly rental. An amazing location with less than a 1/4 mile walk to downtown Gatlinburg shops and restaurants with a Trolley stop in front of the building. Watch the Gatlinburg parades for Christmas and July 4th from the patio at the front of our plaza! The building was designed by Hubert Bebb (a student of Frank Lloyd Wright) and is one of the few remaining vintage motels in Gatlinburg. It has been remodeled for your comfort while keeping as much original as possible to give you the experience of 'Olde Gatlinburg Charm'. Decorated with a vintage/boho/eclectic theme, local arts and crafts, and rustic touches make this a unique rental. Fox (of Cherokee origin) was our Grandparent's last name and we've kept their legacy of hospitality intact by continuing to welcome guests to our place of happy memories!

Our customers tell us they can't get enough of this vacation home's great location. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from Anakeesta. Enjoy features like an arcade/game room. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the vacation home.

We loved this cozy little cottage. It was clean & homey and quiet. Perfect for my husband, myself and our adult son. We would definitely book again when we vacation in Gatlinburg.

Great little historic property, conveniently located to everything! Walkability is key in Gatlinburg, and the facilities were great here. Easy check-in, consistent communication with the PM. Great value, too!

We had a wonderful time at Fox Place. My parents ans I stayed from Sunday until Thursday. When we got there we were very happy with how clean everything was, how stocked it was, and how inviting the place was. It is very convenient to downtown Gatlinburg, but far enough out to where you didn't have to deal with the business of downtown. I even got to see a bear one evening. Scott is a wonderful host and very responsive to any questions we had. We love that this place was pet friendly, since this was one of our main needs. We will stay at Fox Place again when we come to the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area.

We had a great stay at the Fox Place! Perfect location, lots of space for us, kids and dogs. So nice to catch the trolley right outside, head nearby to explore downtown Gatlinburg then come home and make dinner in the kitchen. Loved it! I would suggest, however, that the owner get rid of the rugs. There was a slight scent of dog when we came in so I rolled up the rugs and didn’t use them. I know how dogs like to scent when they smell other dogs so I’m guessing that had happened at some point. No biggie. Overall a wonderful stay!

Amazing lil slice of historic hotel converted to a VRBO. Very nice inside lots of space to spread out but still homey. Very clean. Close to town. We were able to walk into town, but it is still far enough off the main strip so it wasnt noisy. Nice lil green space on the side of cabin for dog walking. Good lights on the outside to light up door etc. We had a couple issues with front door lock, but the owner was nice and VERY quick to respond (even though it was very late) We would definitely go back.

I stayed here with my parrot. Once my family saw the house, I had a different visitor stay with me for a few of the nights. It was wonderful to have the extra room. My nephews loved the arcade game the best! We all enjoyed using the house as a resting place while visiting downtown. I wish I’d booked the entire week of my vacation. It’s a quiet and cozy house with lots of beds and everything you need to enjoy your stay. Quick communication and helpful owner. I only needed a vacuum so I could clean better before leaving.

The location was great, just a few minutes to walk to the main strip! The cottage was very clean, and the AC was great after being out in the heat all day. The owner was quick to respond to questions we had. We even had a bear pass by the back of the building one day! I will definitely be looking to stay here again next time I visit the Smoky Mountains!

Great home base for Gatlinburg and the park

This spot allowed for very easy access to Gatlinburg and the Smokies while also allowing a bit of reprieve from all the hubbub in town. It was very clean, cozy, and spacious. We really appreciated being able to relax here after long days of hiking. Thanks so much for your hospitality!

Family getaway in the mountains

Fox Place is a quaint cottage. It is spacious enough for a family of 5 to find a quiet corner and allowed us to come together for meals. Walking distance to all things Gatlinburg.
