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!

Pleasant Stay
Nice place to stay close to the strip, plenty of parking. Dog friendly. Odd layout of rooms, shelfs in bathroom could have been a little cleaner. A light over the stove could be a plus. Also a small washer and dryer would be beneficial for a longer stay. Overall though a nice place.

Great cottage, fantastic location!
Good location, clean house. Lot's of room 0.5 miles from the heart of the strip. We walked everywhere, except the National Park. Host communication was great, we want to stay there again!

Great Fur baby stay
This was such a wonderful place for the fur babies to stay, had a couple nice clean grassy areas for potty breaks, lots of room for a larger family if needed, it was a close walk to the strip and an easy drive to the craft village - overall great place to stay. Communication with manager was fast, courteous and professional.

Good but could be better
Storm door bottom plate fell off first time I opened it.Mattresses were hard. Back BR bed noises with any shift in position. Ceiling fan needs cleaning. Biggest problem to me was 3 TVs in house with no instructions on how to operate. Finally got one working last night. Should have been explicit instructions Missed NBA playoffs. First place I’ve ever stayed where TV wasn’t operational and took time to get any answers. Front door step cracked and little unsafe. Foilage growing across entrance. Blinds in some rooms broken slats and very old. Hanging plants in living room very old and look like they are dying. Back door needs deadbolt. It’s located where someone who tried to break in wouldn’t possibly be seen by someone. Host was very responsive to calls but was not fully aware of how to fix TV situation. House was quaint and tastefully decorated. Both folding doors in living room had issues with broken connections at top. Some old and unoccupied units on street. I think they need a local person to address issues that need attention on arrival. Mattresses don’t provide a quality sleeping arrangement. I think hosts would be willing to address issues and think they would run a good operation. I think desire is there.

Great location
This property was PERFECT for a weekend on the Arts and Craft loop. It was so easy to go back and forth. Owners were great with info and directions. Master bed was very comfortable and water pressure was very good. The house is a little dark and could use a few more lamps, especially in the bedrooms.

Lots of space
We loved this property! I have 4 teenagers and they had plenty of space to spread out. The kitchen was well stocked and it was about a 10 minute walk to the strip!

Nice three day get-a-way
This property is nice and quiet. Could use brighter light bulbs and a bigger hot water tank. Other than that is was fine for a short visit.
