Favorite VRBO

I’ve stayed in numerous VRBOs and this one might be my favorite. This one didn’t feel outdated to me at all. It felt like going to visit my grandmother. The decor is just perfect! This property had everything we needed. Plenty of room for everybody, great location, and a gorgeous view of the river. I would definitely stay here again.

Cozy house in a great location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house was cute and cozy and we found the vintage decor very charming, like staying at grandma’s house. The neighborhood was very quiet, the view of the river(and the geese!) was even better than expected and the location was convenient to everything. The walk into Gatlinburg would’ve been a bit far for us, but the trolley stop was very close to the house. 10/10 would definitely recommend and we can’t wait to go back again!

November trip

We had a really nice time at Aspen Cottage! Very relaxing, beautiful views, easy access to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge! We especially enjoyed the sunroom! Our only problem was learning to operate the TV remotes! But, we’re old!!! Highly recommend this property!

Lovely place. Wish we could stay longer.

We really needed a mountain getaway, yet close to downtown. This fit our needs perfectly! Woke up with the river next to us, and enjoyed watching the ducks playing joyfully in the river in the morning. It was a crowded weekend, but the cabin was quiet and we walked everywhere in town. We loved having 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, very comfortable beds, and overall a wonderful experience !

Wonderful Stay

The house was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. We loved being on the river and saw bear every day that we were there. It’s a little piece of paradise. It’s tucked away on a back street but close to town. We walked into town every day.
