Gatlinburg: "Would definitely recommend Jackson Mountain Homes!" 5 Stars

We just returned from a week in the Smokies. Because of some of the reviews on this site, and their easy-to-use website, we chose a cabin with Jackson Mountain Homes. We stayed at "Seneca" which was a secluded cabin for 2-4 people about 10 minutes outside of Gatlinburg. It was absolutely beautiful - a deck with hot tub and a great view of the mountains. Everything was clean and exactly as reported on their website, and the people at Jackson were friendly and easy to deal with. They even called us at the cabin the day after we arrived to check and see if everything went well. If you're planning a trip to the region, consider renting one of their cabins - it will make your trip that much better!

Hey!!

I love getting your emails on rentals in the Gatlinburg area. We stayed at
one of your properties this past summer. It was a fantastic time.

I haven't had the chance to say thanks to all the people at Jackson Mountain
Homes that made our visit such a great experience.

Please pass along my thanks. From the first person I saw when I walked in
the door to make a reservation to the person I turned my keys into at the
end of my rental, everyone was fantastic. More important, the home we
rented was exactly as descirbed, fantastic in every way, and the attention
to every detail was fantastic.

Thank you very much for a great family vacation.

We weill return to Tennessee and search for your properties as soon as
possible!!!!!

Great way to relax  

We've rented several cabins in the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area. The cabins offered by Jackson Homes have always been clean and beautifully furnished. They also offer several cabins that are pet friendly. Their prices are comparable with others in the area and their website is very helpful.

Beautiful chalets.  

On one of our trips to the Smoky Mountains we decided to rent a chalet. After staying in the comfort of our own isolated chalet in the mountains we decided to never stay in a hotel again. This company is one of the best chalet and cabin rentals in Gatlinburg. They have a great selection of cabins and chalets in a variety of locations. The prices are reasonable. These places are so private and beautiful. They have some of the best views. The only thing you may not like is that no one will come in and clean your chalet or bring you more sheets or towels, but you can drive to the office and pick up extras whenever you need them. Most of the chalets I have stayed at have washers and dryers, so we just wash the towels ourselves. There is usually a hot tub in most chalets. Another thing you may not like is a long drive into town. Some chalets are closer then others, but all require some driving time to go into Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge.

Mary, Steve and the Family - Just wanted to let you know what a positive experience we had in renting one of your properties from June 16 to June 23. We are celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary this summer and wanted to treat ourselves and all of our grown children and their children to a week in the Gatlinburg area. We made arrangements to stay in Majestic Point Lodge and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The property is beautifully appointed inside and out and met our needs in every way. Check-in was easy and we found everything about dealing with Jackson Mountain Homes to our satisfaction. Thank you so much for making our trip a wonderful memory.

As a side note, we had arranged to have a personal chef from the Sevierville area come to Majestic Point Lodge to cook a special anniversary dinner for us. With several small children including an infant, going out to dinner was not an option for us. Chef Ray from Fruitful Vintage prepared a delicious meal for us. We would highly recommend his services. He prepares meals for special occasions as well as preparing meals and freezing them for later use. He also provides a shopping service for those clients who might need help in stocking the kitchen before they arrive for vacation. What a great idea that is! He and his wife Lisa work together and do a splendid job in a most capable and cordial style. They were a joy to meet and visit with.

Again, thanks for assisting us in making such a memorable vacation for our family. We've already recommended your agency to friends who are considering a stay in your area in the future. 

L. Colley, Georgia - Hi!   We just stayed this past weekend (14-18th ) at Cub’s Cove/Bear Falls Resort and I walked out the door and completely forgot to leave a gratuity for the cleaning service. I feel so horrible- the name on the envelope was Jana, I had it in mind and out the door I went.   Anyway, I was wondering if you could give me the contact info for the company so I could send her a little something?   P.S. This was our first time booking online and staying in a cabin with your company and OH MY GOSH- we had a wonderful time, the website doesn’t do the cabin/area justice. We will be back and hopefully everyone we’ve raved to you about will as well. We checked in late and the maps/information you provided made everything idiot-proof considering we’ve never been to the area either. Thank you so much, we can’t say enough about the experience. Plus the way you had snow shipped in, that was a bonus for 2 ex-Northerners that hadn’t seen any of the white stuff in years, it was nice to experience and be able to drive away from!!! J

The Sutherlands, Highs, and Brandenburgs, Nevada, Alabama, West Virginia -I have to share the most wonderful experience we just had while going to Gatlinburg Tennessee. My family all decided to meet in Gatlinburg for a small family reunion. The youngest daughter looked online to find cabins. She came across the " JACKSON MOUNTAIN HOMES" site and WOW! This has to be the most "AAA" rental business around for miles. I can honestly tell you from the first call to the  last call I have never experienced such great, professionalism, courtesy, enthusiasm , helpful and caring from the people on your staff. They are truly the reason why our stay was as pleasant and peaceful as it was. The cabin we stayed in was VERY hard to choose because they all looked so cozy and inviting. The staff that took our reservation was superb. They all made it a joy to call and arrange our trip. All of the staff was very helpful and efficient. We arrived to the BEAUTIFUL cabin, with perfect directions, and I must say, a most memorable evening. The next morning we received yet another phone call  welcoming us and confirming if we  had everything we needed. I cannot say enough to really let you know just what a most efficient and caring staff you have employed. I can't imagine anyone coming into Gatlinburg and not staying with Jackson Mountain Homes. Again ,your staff is what made it our  best possible family reunion we have ever had!

Blog Clips from Gatlinburg Forum

Louisana Girl - Jan. 2007 - The Rod Run is a huge car show. We have been several times to this event-my husband has a Vette, so it's his thing. I enjoy it too, though. We usually just park on Saturday morning and walk and talk. Everyone leaves on Sunday afternnoon, so the rest of our week is peaceful. We have stayed with Jackson Mountain Homes as well. We have always been very pleased with the cabins and their service. We are staying at Sparkling Waters in April. Our baby is a three pound Yorkie that always goes with us on vacation, and they are super nice when it comes to the pet friendly cabins.

Irish Lake - Jan. 2007 - Is the spring rod run a motorcycle thing? we'll be ther the end of may was well, memorial day weekend. and for what it's worth SNL, the last time we were there we were between gatlingburg and pigeon forge... and traffic getting into either town was terrible. i'm looking for a cabin much closer to gatlinburg this time, could care less to see pigeon forge again. arts and crafts area is likely where we'll stay. we also use jackson mountain homes. i love being able to see the floorplans of the cabins, not many other websites do that.

We have rented through them four times, and have always been pleased. They seem to have better deals than other rental companies. Check out Jackson mountain homes as well, we have stayed with them seven or eight times, and are staying with them again in April. We have rented through other companies, but these two have the friendliest staff and are very helpful. We have never had a problem with either.

We rented through Jackson Mountain Homes last year for 5 days in October. It was a 4 bedroom cabin and was absolutely beautiful. They told us that it was just a few months old at that time so everything was new and could not have been nicer. The pictures on their website did not do it justice. The cabin was Overlook Lodge. I would not hesitate to rent from them again. They were very nice to deal with and called us at home before we left to give us some alternate routes and then once we got to the cabin to make sure that everything was ok.

The Lamberts, Illinois-We just returned from Gatlinburg and were fortunate enough to stay at one of your properties. This was our first experience with Jackson Mountain Homes and we couldn't have been happier. The property was as advertised and more. Who knew we could rent such a beautiful cabin with a secluded feel and yet be less than three minutes from light 1A.

Our experience with JMH before and during our stay was great. Your staff was always courteous, knowledgeable abd extremely helpful. For example, during our stay the dryer went out in the unit. Your staff made sure that someone visited the property to assess the situation and then a repairman was called to fix the problem - all in the course of a few hours one day. What service!

Our family has stayed in rental properties at other vacation sites many times before. Never before, however, has our experience with the rental company AND the vacation property been so perfect. We will be back to Gatlinburg in the near future, and when we do, we would be excited to stay in one of your properties again.

Congratulations on such a great company.

Carol, Ed, Amy & Jase LeBlanc, Louisana-Received the second letter sent out. Please stop teasing me with these letters!!! You just don't know how badly we want to come back... the kids are asking on a weekly basis.

We were fortunate enough to stay with you last June and wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for such awesome accommodations!! We had everything we needed at our finger tips. Because of the information book you had there, we did things we had never done before in all the years we have been coming to Tennessee... which has been every year since 1999. I enjoyed the horseback riding the most.... but the kids and my husband loved the helicopter ride!! It was by far the best trip ever. My neighbors had joined us and their kids and ours still talk about the loft, pool table and the PS2 that was provided!! It was such a kid friendly cabin!!

Once again thank you for last year. I keep praying that our financial situation improves so we can stay in another of your cabins!!!

God Bless!

Mr. & Mrs. L. R.Wilson-I would love to commend you on what a beautiful property it was. Everyone at Jackson Mtn. Homes are so good to us & informative. We won't rent a cabin from anyone else but JMH. We try to go up to TN every year. Anyways thanks for your time.

The Cooks, South Carolina-"We had a great time this year. The snow was pretty and we saw the bear. The cabin was great! We hope we can come back next year!"

The Floyd Family-" Thanks for letting us stay in your beautiful cabin. Jackson Mtn. Homes is our favorite chalet company and your cabin is our favorite of all. We love it because it is so clean and the setting so wonderful. Also the decor is beautiful. We have absolutely no complaints. We plan on visiting your cabin again in January."

The Mills Family-"Hot tub, beautiful view, spacious accommodations, quiet & peaceful. Jackson Mtn Homes does it right. Being up "High in the Mtns" is the best vacation ever!"

The Evans, McConnell, & Wright Families- "Our stay here in the Heart of the Smokies will always be in our hearts & minds as an amazing and unforgettable retreat!! We really hated to leave! We rocked on the decks, fished in the river, soaked in the hot tub, slept in those wonderful beds until the end of our days. But work is a must- we will return and bring friends and family to enjoy and experience all this GREAT PLACE has to offer."

The McGee Family-"Thank you so much for opening your beautiful home to us. We have been coming to the Smokies for many years and this is the most wonderful place that we have ever stayed. The view, The attention to detail... we're in love. As we leave today we are already planning our return visit next summer."

E. & C. Mayer, Florida-"Both my husband and I agree that this is the most beautiful place that either of us have experienced before! This being our honeymoon, I have to say was fantastic beyond words. The view is breathtaking - especially at sunset. The weather was perfect most of the week and the leaves were in fall bloom. We don't want to leave. Overall the best time I have ever had!!!"

The Jay Family-"We had a great time at your cabin. This is the first time in years our family has gotten together with all the kids. This cabin made it a lasting memory. We did just about all we could do in 4 days. We plan to come back soon and your cabin is where we will always stay. Thank you for giving us our memories."

The Middletons-"We have been coming to Gatlinburg over 17 years now. We always try to stay in a different cabin. We really enjoyed your cabin and the close proximity to Gatlinburg, yet peaceful. Last night we left the bedroom window open a little and fell asleep listening to the water falls. This was a highlight! Our children loved the pool table and our toy fox terrier "Biscuit" felt right at home also. Thanks for being "Pet Friendly"."

J. & V. Sparks, Indiana-"Wow! What can we say to describe our stay here. Everything was perfect! We loved your cabin & the beautiful mountain view. (Even from the hot tub.) It was all we had hoped for & more, when searching for a place to stay on our vacation. We'll definitely recommend Jackson Mtn. to our family & friends and hope to stay here on our next vacation to Gatlinburg."

C. & S. Hunsaker, Florida-"In celebration of our Dad's 50th birthday, we presented him with vacation choices. Perhaps because he is a country-boy at heart, he chose the Smoky Mountains! We didn't know the area very well when we planned the trip but Jackson Mountain Homes offered the best options near Gatlinburg. We hiked to Mt. LeConte on our third day. It was everything our hiking book promised. The views were spectacular. We enjoyed the view and the rockers at the cabin every day and night. We plan to return and will make this cabin our mountain home.

B. & V. Caron, Florida-"The Tennessee Smokies provide vacationers with so many great things to see and do! This cabin became our home away from home. Everything was so clean and welcoming. The cabin's decore was so cute and cozy too. Of course, best of all was the awe inspiring view. We are so thankful for such a wonderful place to vacation!"

Ray, Donna, Castin, Bailey, Grandma, Barbara and Grandpa-"I thought I wanted a cabin. Now I know I want one. Why did the week have to go by so fast? The view, words do not do justice to the view. We will be back in October."

The Fergusons, Michigan-"This has been our first try at renting a chalet. The top of the line furnishings and beautiful decor was very special and the fact that we could include Bonnie, our 7 year old westie was the icing on the cake. JMH was first class, just like the property. Thank you so much for making it available."

W. & S Trevino, Ohio-"This was our first trip to Gatlinburg. We came down to get married and chose this cabin for our honeymoon. The views were spectacular and the cabin itself was perfect. We felt right at home. Both of us enjoyed our stay here so much, we decided to make Gatlinburg and this cabin our new vacation spot. Thank you so much for making our honeymoon truly special."

R. & L. Tabor, Florida-The cabin was very nice. We had a wonderful time just relaxing. We played pool every night and sat on the deck and looked at the mountains. We have decided that our trips to the Smokies will not be spent in a motel! We have become spoiled. It is like flying in first class vs. coach. Once you have gone first class, it's tough to go back to coach!!

J. Magrange, Milwaukee, WI-"This chalet was nothing less than wonderful! I am 15 years old & there is nothing like the Smoky Mountains to forget about the stress of school. From 5-60 there was something here for everyone from the beautiful scenic view to the hot tub. This is my 4th visit to Galtinburg and the best so far. Thanks to your beautiful cabin and the comfort it brought us."

The Girls-"We enjoyed your chalet very much! This was our first time renting a chalet in Gatlinburg & we loved your home so much that we are going to get it again next year & not look around for any others! We came down to get away from work, etc. for the weekend. 7 ladies in our 40's and one in her twenties!"

M. & J. Huffstatler-"Being a single parent I always look for something I feel safe in. This place was perfect. It was extremely comfortable and convenient. Now that JJ is a teenager and needs his space and privacy. We definitely were afforded this. It was like having a home away from home. The relaxing view was great for me! This home was beautiful, extremely comfortable and just the right size. We will certainly be back!"

E. & E. Johnson, South Carolina-"We were in search of the perfect place to enjoy, rest & celebrate our 1st year of marital bliss/happiness and Smoky Mtn Dream Rental. The owners of this cabin made this possible. We can't say thank you enough. Great customer service and precious accommodations. We are considering making this a standing weekend every year!"

Z. & D. Kizziah-"We were looking for a Quiet, restful, romantic holiday and we found it in this mountain chalet. You supplied everything necessary for an ideal romantic weekend. We enjoyed ourselves and plan to tell all our friends and relatives about your chalets. Wish we could have spent more time here!"

The Gregory's, Kentucky-"Well, this has been simply wonderful! Being that this was our first family vacation we had loads of memories made. Our grown children were thrilled with the look and feel of the cabin along with the hot tub and pool table. We knew that when they ran out of money that they would still have plenty to do. I heard that we should move here more than once. Thank you for helping to make our vacation a dream come true."

Sam "The Cat", Georgia-"Thank you for allowing pets in your great mountain home. I got to come on because of this! I have to stay inside all the time at home; but with your screened porch, I became an adventurous outside cat. With the open plan I could race from the porch through the living room and hall and up the stairs through the bedroom over to the jacuzzi and get great exercise. My parents had a great time hiking & relaxing in Gatlinburg while I stayed here exploring (or sleeping). This is the best vacation I've ever had!"

J. & A. Raise-"This was our 1st trip to the Smokey Mtns, together & our wedding too! We were married here on May 8th and spent three nights in this wonderful & relaxing rustic cabin. Our wedding/honeymoon weekend get away in this cabin was so memorable! It was everything we could have hoped for! We enjoyed our stay and will be back!"

C & D Smith, South Carolina-"This has been the most wonderful weekend we could have ever asked for, the view, the house and its very beautiful decor was absolutely fantastic. We will cherish the memories of this weekend for the rest of our lives. Thank you very much, we will definitely come back again!"

MORE TO COME OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS!
