-Private Hot Tub

When it comes to year-round swimming, Poolin Around ain’t foolin’ around! Combining luxury with rustic charm, this one-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bathrom cabin in the mountains sleeps four, has spectacular mountain views and – best of all – boasts an indoor saltwater pool and hot tub.

Poolin Around’s large windows and skylights let you revel in outstanding views of the Great Smoky Mountains, even as you’re lounging on the leather sofa watching a movie or curled up in the leather armchair with a book by the fireplace. The comfortable couch, by the way, converts into a queen-size bed, so that Poolin Around can sleep up to four people. A large flat-screen cable TV with DVD player and Blu-Ray is suspended above the gas fireplace in a gorgeous stone hearth, while a foosball table is conveniently located nearby if you’re up for some friendly competition.

The famous Greenbriar restaurant is just a short walk away, but if you don’t want to eat out you can settle in at the cozy dining table, which seats four. Stylishly outfitted with stainless-steel appliances (both large and small) and granite countertops, the kitchen is fully equipped with pots, pans, tableware and utensils so you can prepare anything from cocktails or a gourmet feast, to your morning cup of coffee with ease.

A good night’s sleep is key to getting the most out of any vacation, and Poolin Around’s roomy bedroom is furnished with that in mind. Perfectly made up with extra bedding at the ready, this spacious room is outfitted with a sumptuous king-size bed and two nightstands with reading lamps. Prop yourself up against the pillows and read, surf the web via the free Wi-Fi or, if you’re feeling wakeful, flip on the large, flat-screen cable TV and catch up on your favorite shows.

Just off the bedroom, Poolin Around’s primary bath, well supplied with fresh towels, is ready if your first order of business is a shower to wash off the travel dust. And what a shower it is! The beautiful tiled, glassed-in shower stall has dual shower heads, and is so roomy you’ll be tempted to linger under the soothing steam. Even the well-lit vanity is extra-roomy! With a super-long counter, there’s plenty of space for all your toiletries (your partner’s, too). The cabin also hosts a half-bath for extra convenience as well as a stacking washer and dryer to keep your wardrobe fresh.

The star of Poolin Around, however, is definitely the indoor heated saltwater pool on the lower level. Go ahead double the entertainment – an enormous, 85 inch TV lets you watch a flick while you lounge in the water. And this pool is open all year – just close the huge bay door to keep out the chill. You’ll love having the luxury of your own private pool to retreat to whenever you like, any time of year! During the warmer months, open the bay door to the outside for easy access to a gas fire pit, Adirondack chairs and charcoal grill. There’s also a hot tub with room for your whole group…for a truly magical experience, soak among the steamy bubbles in the evening as owls hoot and whip-poor-wills trill beneath a canopy of stars.

With everything Poolin Around has to offer, you may never want to leave! But if you don’t, you’ll miss all the fun of Dollywood, Gatlinburg Golf Course, Parrot Mountain and Gardens, the Titanic Museum, shops and dinner theaters that are mere minutes away. Not to mention all the activities the Great Smoky Mountains have to offer outdoor adventurers, from skiing to hiking.

So stop foolin’ around and book your best vacation yet at Poolin Around today!

Spring Break Trip
We rented this for a short stay during spring break. It worked well for my husband and I, our 15y/o, and our dogs. We absolutely loved having our own pool and hottub. The dogs loved sitting on the outdoor deck and listening and watchimg. It was convenient to Gatlinburg, but also out of town. We would

Perfect Location
Great cabin and the pool was nice, we didnt get in the hot tub but it was easily accessible right outside the pool room. It snowed while we were there and we had planned on being snowed in for a day or 2 but honestly, Gatlinburg Street crew kept the road to our cabin completed clear the whole time.Pretty sure city works is at the bottom of the hill. The porch is nice, we spent time out there watching for wildlife.The only suggestion i have is if you plan on doing any cooking at all *there are no frying pans or baking sheets. So you might wanna bring cookware.There is a kuerig, i read a review that said there wasnt but they have a kuerig and a regular coffee pot.. Greenbriar Restaurant is within walking distance and a nice grocery store is a 2 min drive. We loved the location and would definitely stay there again.

Relaxing getaway
This was a last minute get away for my husband and I. Time to relax after the crazy holidays. We were excited about having a private indoor pool and a hot tub. Wow! we really enjoyed both areas. Watched football on the theater while relaxing in the pool! VERY clean and spacious, beautiful surroundings!

Stay was even better than expected
The cabin was wonderful! Awesome location. Very clean. Hot tub and fire pit outside, heated pool inside. We did see a bear the first morning, which was exciting. We were wary of the policy of sending a picture of myself holding my drivers license but we did and everything seems to be fine. We would definitely stay again!

If you want to see Bears, this is the place to be!
If you want to see Bears multiple times a day! This is the place for you! This property was everything and more. Close to the strip, a 3 min drive. Also, 3 min drive to Food City. We loved the pool and watching TV, very convenient for the kids. You also have a view of the city and mountains at night. Its really cool, to see the city lite up. Now, for the fun part. Even though we had a Bearry good time. The bears were everywhere. As soon as we checked in, we were greeted by a mom and her 2 cubs. Then the daddy bear. We kept our distance but it was still alitte shocking and thrilling that we were 5-10 feet away. It was fun and neat to see the first night but to constantly have to look over your shoulder in fear of a bear being that close was not fun. We made the best of it but we really couldn't enjoy the hot tub, fire pit, or grill. They usually made a visit from 11-1 and 5-7, every day. They know they will get fed or know that there is trash in the garbage cans. I would definitely keep your car doors locked and your cabin door lock at all times. They will try to get in. Don't leave food in your car at all. Even though the garbage cans are locked, they are smart and will get in. Besides that we had a blast and got tons of video of bears.

Weekend getaway
The amenities of the property was great. The pool 100% lived up to our expectations. Though the picture of the TV in the listing is bigger than what was actually in the cabin. When visiting Gatlinburg or places similar. My only suggestion is to be vigilant of your surroundings of The wildlife. While the Bears are semi domesticated, they are wild animals. You will have close encounters with them, protect your pets by respecting their boundaries. We had a great time and was very impressed with our cabin.

Amazing stay!
Poolin’ Around is a wonderful place to stay! It’s a perfect getaway for honeymoons, a romantic getaway, or just getting out of town for a few days. Super clean, gorgeous views of the mountains from the front porch and privacy in the backyard. Will definitely stay here again, absolutely recommend to couples, small families, or friends who need a cute cabin getaway!

We had a blast at this home! Very clean. The only negative would be that we saw 8 different bears and that didn't make for easy pottie breaks for our dogs, but other than that it was everything we wanted!

What an amazing place Poolin' around is! Conveniently located in the Smokey mountains and minutes away from Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The cabin is magical.... nestled in the woods. We especially loved the fire pit! This place has everything: indoor pool, hot tub, large kitchen with every appliance you need. The bedroom and bathrooms were very comfortable and very clean!

Please Read- Should be better
This is a nice property but a few changes would have greatly improved our stay. For the price, I am overall dissatisfied. First is the cleanliness of the cabin. The cabin looked tidy, but was not very clean. If you did not wear slides in the cabin (upstairs) the bottom of your feet would get black. We were traveling with a one-year old so cleanliness was very important to us. Downstairs the area around the pool needed swept badly. I can understand how dirt and debris get into the area with the bay door that opens to the outdoors, but why wouldn’t this be cleaned or swept before new guests check in? There was no broom available for us to clean it ourselves. My other complaint would be the communication or effort to respond to the one request I had. On Monday morning I sent a message to see about how to work the heater in the pool area, because it was too cool in the room and water and it was uncomfortable to swim. Twenty-four hours later I was told this would be looked into, and by Thursday at check out no one ever sent any other type of response. The pool is obviously a major draw for this cabin, so to barely be able to use it was very disappointing. This cabin had good reviews and excellent pictures, which is why we chose it. Maybe this type of review for this location is unusual, and maybe the cleanliness and response is usually better. I hope so for others that choose to stay here, but this was our experience with our vacation here and are leaving disappointed.

Great Pet-Friendly Stay!
We took our dog to Gatlinburg/PF and stayed in the “Poolin Around” cabin. The cabin is pretty close to downtown Gatlinburg which was super convenient. We loved the hot tub and indoor pool. The cabin was clean and had a lot of great amenities like 2 big screen TVs, a dining table, outdoor rockers, and wifi. The kitchen was stocked with all of the tools needed to cook. We were only able to play music via the projector by the pool by connecting our phones. Perhaps the owners could provide an instruction sheet for optimal use? Regardless, we were so happy to find a pet-friendly rental. Our dog had a blast on vacation with us! I would recommend this cabin to others.

Extremely expensive. Thought we'd get hotel quality. The pool wasn't inviting and was cold. TV in pool area did not work. A lot of add-on fees that aren't explained/necessary. Arrived at 3:30, had to wait out back 30 minutes to enter the cabin at 4:00 checkin. Discovered we needed to be very leary of bears. They are beautiful, but we didn't sit outside upper deck of cabin.

Accurate description
Small, one bedroom cabin in a cluster of approx. 15 cabin rentals. We stayed with our 14 year old daughter over the Easter weekend, the cabin was as advertised, however, there was no keurig, curling iron, or an adequate number of pool towels. The theater projector in the pool room did not work. We contacted service and they came out the next day and could not get the unit working. So don't expect the big screen in the pool room to work. The pool was about twice the size of the hottub and the temp was set at 92 and you cannot change it per the contract. There is a fair amount of noise coming from the pool room heater that runs all day and night and doesn't shut off. There is no mirror in the second half bathroom downstairs. Other then those hiccups, the place was clean and the management rental company, JACKSON Mountain cabin rentals was easy to deal with. They were not able to fix the home theater but they answered questions upon our arrival adequately.

The perfect cabin for small family!
The most relaxing stay in Gatlinburg yet! Our kids loved the pool downstairs. My husband and I could relax in the hot tub and watch the kids play in the pool. It was close to everything we needed. We ended up staying at the cabin for the majority of the trip. We enjoyed it so much and will definitely be back.
