About this property

ECHO PLACE...Echo place...(Sleeps 8+)

Echo Place has over 1,580 SF of living area with lots of surrounding porches and decks. A bedroom and bath on each of the three levels makes the ideal setup for up privacy when more than one couple/family come together for fun in the Smokies. We advertise to sleep (8) due to size of cabin. However with the sofa bed and loft cubby it can actually sleep eight (8) adults and three (3) children comfortably. Plenty of very well lit parking for at least 4 vehicles. Zero steps to the main level!

The Main Level features a bedroom with King bed and bunkbeds for kids/teenagers, HDTV and DVD player. The bathroom is shared with the main living area. Open kitchen/dining/living room with HDTV/DVD Player and Bluetooth surround sound to stream your own music. A huge stone fireplace, soaring ceilings, plenty of glass/french doors to the decks and woods make this space seem huge. The deck space off the main level includes a large covered porch with picnic table, open decking with Adirondack chairs and a bar w/seating to take in the views and mountain air. Also a half-court shuffleboard off the parking lot makes for great outdoor fun. The hiking center is at the entrance with 3 sets of hiking poles, binoculars, and a ruck pack full of emergency items.

The Loft Level features a Queen bed w/child sleeping area, private bath and French doors leading to a nice balcony and sitting area. HDTV w/DVD player.

The Lower Level features a third bedroom with King bed, HDTV and DVD player, UT themed laundry room, and a recreation room. The bathroom is shared between the rec room and bedroom. Recreation includes a beautiful handcrafted shuffleboard table, a foosball table, and a 3-in-1 bumper pool/poker/game table. Comfortable sectional for viewing movies on the large surround sound HDTV with Bluetooth theater. Plenty of movies and games provided for your use as well as several board games.
Off the Rec Room is an enclosed screened in porch with a bubbling hot tub and comfortable seating to take in the night. A grille area is just outside (bring your own charcoal).
Cable TV and Internet provided along with plenty of movies onsite for family movie night.

Daily bear activity!
The house was all that we needed. Plenty of room for the 4 of us. The hot tub was wonderful after hiking all day! Parking was easy. The host was very responsive with answers to questions. It was dated & could use new carpet & brighter paint. But, the bear activity was exciting! We enjoyed watching the bears daily! We would definitely rent this house again!

Wonderful family cabin
This was a great cabin for a family. We had a total of 6 adults, 3 kids under 4yo, and 1 baby. It accommodated all of us very well. If you want to see bears, this is the place! We saw bears all three days we were there. We will definitely book again.

Needs a good cleaning, simple maintenance, and updated.
We don't believe the cabin was cleaned before we arrived. We had to clean and kill a bunch of ants that were crawling all over the living room. Upon lifting the rug we found old food that looked to be swept under there. We had a water leak that had to be repaired our first day there and had no air conditioning for most of the week until someone came to repair it, which I believe was on Thursday. There is not one comfortable seat in the living area so I think it's time for some updating. I am not trying to get a free vacation as another reviewer was accused of trying. We were very disappointed in renting the cabin for our stay and would never make the same mistake twice. Back in the day it would have been ideal but in the present day it is not.

Bear-Filled Stay in the Smoky Mountains
Our family vacation to Smoky Mountain National Park and Dollywood was made better by our rental home. It had ample space and many amenities, including a hot tub and access to a community pool. Although the bathrooms are a bit outdated and the bears are definitely smart enough to get into your car, we had a great time and would stay here again.

The Beary Best!
Wow! We decided to take a much-needed vacation to the Smokies with our whole family, and Echo Place truly delivered! The location was incredibly convenient—just a 10-minute drive to Gatlinburg and 25 minutes to Pigeon Forge, so we were right in the heart of everything. The cabin was perfect for our group of eight, with ample space for everyone to find a little privacy or rest when needed. The views were spectacular, and we had the added excitement of regular(daily) visits from two neighborhood black bears. (A reminder: don’t feed the bears, keep your cars locked, and use the bear bins for your trash!) We saw several neighbors, unfamiliar with how clever bears can be, having their cars searched by these curious visitors. When we return to the Smokies, we’ll definitely try to stay here again—it was that great! Thank you so much to the owners for Hosting us!

Family vacation
The house was great!!! Plenty of room for everyone to be together but also have their own space. Communication with Jay was great, he answered my questions immediately and sent all information quickly and accurately. The place was just as it was pictured. The bears were beautiful, inquisitive, and in abundance but that is what the Smoky Mountains are know for. I will definitely rent this house again!

We really enjoyed our stay at Echo Place. Jay was very easy to work with and communicated well about the cabin and very quickly. We saw bears each day of our stay around the cabin. The community pool was also very clean and had an attendant on duty.

Another amazing vacation in the books
Nice sized cabin, up in the mountains. We saw 9 bears during our stay, one which tore our vehicle door handle off trying to get in (it was locked), but that’s what happens up in the mountains. Everything was cleaned and nice! It is a steep and curvy drive up to the cabin, but it’s within minutes to Gatlinburg ♥️

This was a great spot for our three-generations family trip to the Smoky Mountains and an ideal location for heading into the park or going into Gatlinburg. Lots of room to spread out or gather all together. We saw bears almost every day! Our host Jay was very responsive and a pleasure to work with.

Bears
This was an amazing cabin!! We will definitely stay here again. We saw 6-8 bears while we were at the cabin. They would walk right by the porch. The place was very clean and had everything you needed like towels, dishes, pans, coffee pot with coffee ect. They even had a game room on the bottom floor. We had a blast playing shuffle board. The cabin is close to everything, but far enough away you didn't hear a bunch of noise. I have recommended this cabin to all my family and friends that are planning on going to Tennessee.

Bears galore
Great cabin for our family of 6. Got to see bears up close and personal on atleast 29 separate occasions without having to leave the cabin. The multiple decks and doors came in handy. We didn't use the hot tub do to the chlorine being so strong, but that was alright. If we ever go back to gatlinburg, we will definitely stay at echo place. Jay and Susan were great hosts. Thank you both.

We had a wonderful time staying at the cabin. It was comfortable and very welcoming! The little touches left by the host, like the small baskets in the kitchen with tea bags and all of the coffee essentials made us feel like we truly were guests in someone’s home. I highly recommend this property.

Cute Cozy Cabin
This was a cute and cozy little cabin, we loved that each floor had its own room and bathroom, it helped meet the needs of all our group. Overall a nice cabin but could use a little updating, but it feels on par for a stay in Gatlinburg. Close to everything on the main strip. Would recommend this stay!

Great little cabin in the woods
Exactly as described - three bedroom cabin, a bath and bedroom on each floor. Nice location not too far up the mountain but far enough for a nice view. Furnishings are a little bit 'shabby chic' but the baths and kitchen were immaculate and the beds were comfy, nothing that would detract from having a great time with your family :) Word of warning - use Jay's directions... we misplaced them and used the GPS, which gave took us on a wild tour of the mountain with some very narrow winding roads

About the host

Hosted by Jay Welborn

Host profile image
Jay is a retired Air Force officer and currently works as a contractor at Shaw AFB, SC. Jay went to Architecture school at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville where he and Susan fell in love with the Smoky Mountains area during weekend getaways. Susan owns a home daycare center and has provided childcare all over the world as the Air Force moved us from place to place to include Japan, Germany, and a myriad of stateside assignments. We have five children and the cabin has provided a wonderful place for our family gatherings.

Why they chose this property

We bought this cabin because it was so close to Gatlinburg and it was nestled in the woods just the way we wanted. Zero steps to main level, easy access drive, and plenty of parking. Winter mountain views and seeing the Ober Gatlinburg Tram is really cool. We've spent the last couple years remodeling and putting our special touch on the place. We've already had lots of memorable outings with friends and family in our home away from home.

What makes this property unique

Plenty of space for a family get together! We know you'll enjoy our little cabin in the woods.
