About this cabin rental

Gentry's Rest Stop is your one-stop vacation playground! With great motorcycle access, this private, air conditioned home is the finest around for large family reunions or shared vacations, yet intimate enough for two. Firewood is on-site at no charge for winter guests for the fireplace, you can bring or purchase your own in town for the firepit, and the 8-person hot tub in its own private setting is just the ticket after a day of sightseeing or fun-filled activities. Children are more than welcome here, and there are many board games to choose from and a video library that boasts over 200 DVD's! Everything's included in the kitchen with a variety of spices as well. Outdoors there is badminton, horseshoes, firepit, picnic table, 2 grills one gas and one charcoal grill, as well as hiking trails and a walking bridge across Jonathan Creek right in the backyard! Sleds are provided in winter for fun-filled activities and there is a 20x30 covered porch for the exclusive enjoyment of our guests. Very easy access year round. Guests have horseback riding, snow skiing and both water & snow tubing in town.

ALSO AVAILABLE is a separate 3 bedroom/2 bath cabin ON SITE, ON THE CREEK!!! This cabin will either accommodate an overflow group from the 'Big House' or just an intimate and cozy cabin for up to 6 guests. It has it's own separate hot tub. Please email for rates and availability!

WANT TO KNOW MORE?: Gentry's Rest Stops 1&2 are professionally decorated by the owner, a well known interior designer, in a charming country décor and the outside has also been lovingly tended for picture-taking for your memory books. Four-season and holiday decorations contribute to the coziness of the home and children love to view some of the local wildlife close up that is part of the area. Gentry's have their own 'resident' elk, aptly named Bullwinkle, who actually comes to visit occasionally and loves to pose for pictures! Raccoon and squirrels scoot among the trees as well as hummingbirds, butterflies and fireflies at night. Guests are well taken care of as the Gentry's live on-site and are available to supply your every need should one arise. When you arrive you will notice your quarters are on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the home with your own separate access. The Gentry's are mindful of your seclusion and separateness and you can be assured your privacy is guaranteed. There's plenty of parking for vehicles and if you want to trailer your motorcycle or ATV, there is more than enough room for turn-arounds on the gravel driveway. Easy access all year and ATV and motorcycle enthusiasts will find many trails to explore. Please see our website for more photos and information.

WHAT'S THERE TO DO?: Nearby attractions include the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Blue Ridge Parkway with miles of never-ending views of the beautiful mountains and valleys; Great Smoky Mountain Railroad in Dillsboro, Biltmore Estate with its winery and garden tours, hiking, shopping, antiquing, whitewater rafting, tubing (both water and snow), horseback riding and of course eating at the many restaurants around the area. Only about 30 minutes away is Cherokee where you will find Harrah's Casino, and find an authentic pair of moccasins or other Native American gifts for that special person. Visit Cataloochee Valley where you can get up close and personal with the elk that were reintroduced to our area. Fontana Lake is about 45 minutes away where you can rent paddle boats or go fishing and swim in the cool mountain waters. Golfing is quite close for you duffers and horseback riding is a sure bet to enjoy fall foliage in autumn. Maggie Valley's very own Ghost Town in the Sky is now reopened and features a new ZIPLINE for you thrill-seekers! Dollywood, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge are about an hour away.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Gentry's Rest Stop 1. The house was very spacious and well equipped with anything you would need, especially the kitchen. We have never stayed somewhere that had everything that you need. Just bring your clothes and food! We met the owners, Rhonda and Bobby, while we were there. They were very nice and friendly, and even let us take a look at the 2nd house that is on the property. Our favorite thing about the house was the back porch!!! It is huge! We loved that it was covered so that we could sit out on the porch when it was raining and just enjoy the scenery and the cool weather. We also loved the back yard and the beautiful creek that ran through the property. The kids had plenty of space to run around and play outside, and plenty of games inside to keep them busy. A couple of the beds were pretty hard, but other than that the house was wonderful. This is definitely somewhere that we would consider returning to in the future.

Great place for the whole family in the woods. Private location but still close to shopping and fun. Owners were great and the house was so cute. Best porch ever

The property was very nice with a quiet stream. Everyone enjoyed their time. This house made you feel very much at home, they have literally everything you need if you’re a large family with children. Plenty of silverware, containers, cooking utensils, and even a homemade ice cream maker. This is an optimal place if you’re looking to take the kids and family. We appreciated the gift basket from the owners!

We had an awesome vacation at the Gentry's place. We did some hiking, fishing, and eating out, but mostly we hung out in the cabin reading, watching tv, and playing games, and it was perfect for that. We really enjoyed relaxing and bringing in the new year in such a nice and comfortable cabin.

Our family of 8 absolutely loved this cabin. We've never felt more at home in a cabin before this one. We enjoyed the HUGE back porch, the yard & the creek in the back yard! We also loved the location of the cabin. The owner was outside one afternoon and was very friendly and welcoming. Only complaint I have is with the property manager. I called once we arrived because it was a little confusing as to which cabin was ours. I knew there were two cabins on the same property but in the first picture of our booking it shows the second cabin and not the one we booked so it was a little confusing. I had called her to verify which cabin was ours because honestly our cabin was so beautifully decorated on the outside that it looked like a storefront. Cathy was very rude from the first sentence she spoke. She stated she had 16 other properties, which I understand but being patient with someone goes a long way and also the tone you talk to people with. There is no reason for anyone to talk to someone like a dog. She helped us figure out which cabin was ours and then we ran into a issue with the code to the door. She stated she sent an email with the welcome packet after paying in full, which if she did that's fine but I never received it on my end. I paid in full at booking so I'm not sure if it went down a pot hole or what. It weren't no big deal but she kept arguing with me that I should have received it, if I checked my email. Which I had checked several times, in all folders.

Great, Kevin had everything we need. Had neighbors that were a little closer than I prefer but other than that no complaints.

This was by far our favorite place we have ever stayed. They have thought of everything! Literally bring your clothes and food. They have it all perfectly stocked, decorated o so cute for fall and are super nice! We had plenty of room and were right at home. The kids played board games and we didnt see them on their devices the whole weekend. The kids loved the loft. Thank you so so much for a great trip

This is our second year and again the Gentry's didn't dissapoint. This is an amazing place to stay. There is so much room for everyone to spread out, lots of games for the kids, the patio os by far our favorite place to relax. They have thought of everything. Lots to do in town and in surrounding areas. We will be going back again next summer for year 3. Its our new tradition and home away from home.
