Welcome to Dogwood Cottage, a newly renovated two-bedroom, two-bathroom Gatlinburg vacation rental property that exudes charm and sophistication. The home sits conveniently near the base of Ski Mountain, making it a breeze to reach downtown Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and the magnificent Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Adventure awaits just around the corner!

This home has been revamped from top to bottom, including new landscaping and the addition of an outdoor fire pit area, ensuring it offers nothing but the best for our guests. Additionally, offering accessible properties is important to us; there are no steps from the parking area to the front door of this one-level chalet, providing easy entry for differently-abled guests.

As you step inside, you'll be greeted by a lovely sitting room with four plush armchairs and a SmartTV, perfect for relaxing and unwinding. Beyond this inviting space, an open-concept kitchen and dining area awaits. The kitchen boasts gorgeous granite countertops, new stainless steel appliances, and a bright dining space complete with a table and four comfortable upholstered chairs.

Continuing your tour, you'll find a spacious living room featuring a wood-burning fireplace, high-end furnishings, tasteful decor, a SmartTV, and an abundance of natural light. It's the perfect place to cozy up with loved ones and create lasting memories.

Dogwood Cottage offers two king bedrooms, each designed to provide a restful sanctuary. One of the bedrooms comes with a private ensuite bathroom, while the other has convenient access to the hall bathroom. We've made sure that both bedrooms have their own TVs, so you can relax and enjoy your favorite shows. For your convenience, we've also included a laundry closet, making it easy to freshen up your clothes during your stay.

The outdoor area is a true gem. In addition to a large hot tub and dining table, we've added a brand new fire pit—perfect for toasting marshmallows and enjoying heartwarming fireside chats. It's the ideal setting for reconnecting with loved ones.

If you're planning a getaway with a larger group, Dogwood Cottage shares driveway access with Dogwood Place, a four-bedroom MLC property. These two properties complement each other perfectly and are often rented together for larger groups.

Guests of this Gatlinburg chalet rental have access to three clubhouses, the closest to Dogwood Cottage being the S. Baden Clubhouse, which has a large outdoor pool, changing rooms/showers, shuffleboard, horseshoes, a playground, tennis courts, a gym, and a game room with billiards, ping pong, foosball, checkers/chess, and video games.

Love this place

It was great very clean and love that it has no stairs. We did get to see a couple of bears to that was nice. The drive way is a little scary but you get use to it. Hope to be able to stay here again.

Great location

House was in a great location for access to the park. The beds were super comfortable. The house is nice with plenty of room however it needs a good deep cleaning, ceiling to floor. It also needs some plumbing work. The water in the hall bath does not have great pressure possibly due to the old fixtures, sink drain very slow. We had to call for plumbing help due to backed up drains from sewer system on Memorial Day evening. The plumber came from Knoxville and assured us he would have it repaired in no time. He was there in no time and was the nicest person. He was our trip WOW factor.

Weekend Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our original cabin rental had to be shutdown for a maintenance issue. Management gladly moved us to another rental that would accommodate us for the weekend. This is one that we probably would had never chosen (only because it looks more like a house) but we was very happy with this rental. The inside has been updated, very clean, comfortable bed, nice and private. Can even wave at the Tram going by (from the fire pit). We will definitely stay here again. Location is not very far up the mountain, BUT the driveway is in a bad curve. I would recommend a cover over the hot tub, and some rugs at the doorways. Its rained while we was here, had nothing to wipe off our feet. Had a VERY relaxing weekend! Until next time...

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The fire pit was nice. Unfortunately, the hot tub lights and half the jets did not work. The cottage was nice and quiet. The mountain views were as not as good as some of the other units, but the drive to Gatlinburg was quick and easy.

The Snow and the Bear

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a surprise visit from a young bear who apparently wanted a piece of the hot tub cover. And it snowed 6” which gave us the opportunity to take a snow hike which was an amazing experience. Overall, the cabin was lovely. My only issue was with the closet for our hanging clothes. There is only one and it is in the bedroom that doesn’t have the en suite bathroom. Kind of odd. However, the beds were very comfy and the kitchen was well stocked with all of the basics. The driveway is kind of hidden around the curve of the road so be prepared to keep a watch so you don’t miss it. It’s less than a mile from the entrance of the park which we loved. I would absolutely stay here again!

Nice but missed the mark

Rating Details: The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at Dogwood Cottage but felt a mountain cabin in the fall should have quilts for the beds and maybe a throw for the couch. My friend had to sleep with towels on top of the thin blankets provided for each bed. Extra blankets and pillows should not be something we should need to request. I know the weekly cleaner doesn’t have time to wash all the windows, but the bedrooms and bathroom windows were gross and obviously hadn’t been clean in sometime. The main living areas, dining, living room and game room windows were sparking clean. Also, the air intake vent needs some attention as there were cobwebs and a half inch of dust on the intake vent and the filter looked pretty dirty too. A couple of the output vents had black soot all around them, on the ceiling. I understand having a fireplace increase these issue but it should be addressed on a regular basis. I do have pictures if you’d like to see them. These issue wouldn’t keep me from staying a Dogwood Cottage again but I would expect the issues to be resolved. Thanks, Joyceann Homberg

I know that the restaurants and others are short staff, but all employees were very gracious!We will return in November, God Willing, but we are going to be with another group so we will be staying in PF instead, disappointingly for us! Hopefully next year we will see the staff at Mountain Laurel again! We love the Dogwood Cottage if it goes up for sale let us know!!:)

Very Cozy

Dogwood Cottage was a great choice to stay at. The Cottage was nice and clean when we arrived. There was a little welcome package for us when we arrived. The mirror at the end of the driveway was very helpful. Hot Tub was amazing. We enjoyed being able to play pool. Best part was seeing a little Bear outside the living room window. :) Will definitely consider this location for future stays.

Clean, Cozy Cabin Right in The Smoky Mountains!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin was perfect for the three of us. It was very clean and well-maintained. The description matched the website exactly (which is always a good thing!). The welcome box was a nice touch. There were plenty of towels, soap, toilet paper, etc. for our stay. We loved that it was about 20 minutes away from the congestion of the restaurants and activities, but still in the quiet of the woods, right next to the park. A BIG black bear came twice, once right outside the kitchen window! You don't get to see that often! We drove the Roaring Forks Motor Trail (which is very close), and stopped to do to two hikes off of that. After both our long hikes, the hot tub felt great! We also zip-lined (so much fun!), visited downtown Gatlinburg (the Sky-Lift and Sky Bridge are a must do!), and toured caverns. We ate at several restaurants, The Local Goat and Old Mill Restaurant were our favorites.
