The hold only takes effect the day before check-in and is released at most three days after check-out.

About the host
Hosted by Marcel Barbus
★ My wife and I were both born in Romania and grew up surrounded by the gorgeous Carpathian Mountains which is home to one of the largest undisturbed forests in Europe, much like The Great Smoky Mountains are here. In 2005, we were blessed with an opportunity to move to the United States to offer our family a brighter future full of new possibilities, so we moved to Texas with our three children in tow. Throughout the years we traveled the US often, trying to find a place that reminded us of Romania, a place that made us feel closer to home.
Why they chose this property
★ We first visited Pigeon Forge in 2018 and were immediately drawn to the serene beauty of the Smokies which reminded us so much of what we had left behind when we moved here. We picked Pigeon Forge because of its close proximity to the national park, as well as its proximity to all the attractions and child-friendly activities that are offered within minutes of the area. Since that very first time we knew we wanted to find a place in the Smokies that we could call our own and that's how the Chestnut Cabin came about. Our dream is to eventually move to the area but in the meantime, we are content to be able to visit whenever we get a chance! We are glad that we get to share our cabin with you!
