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!

Nice place to stay for 4 of us. One of us snores and had her own room, the other likes to watch tv while in bed and had her own room, another room with daybed for other friend and I took the couch. 2 bathrooms (and showers) worked out great! Had to bring our own iron. Not sure if the overhead light fixture in living room works ,we couldn't figure out how to turn it on. Really no complaints! Great location.

The location was great, just a few minutes to walk to the main strip! The cottage was very clean, and the AC was great after being out in the heat all day. The owner was quick to respond to questions we had. We even had a bear pass by the back of the building one day! I will definitely be looking to stay here again next time I visit the Smoky Mountains!

Great home base for Gatlinburg and the park

This spot allowed for very easy access to Gatlinburg and the Smokies while also allowing a bit of reprieve from all the hubbub in town. It was very clean, cozy, and spacious. We really appreciated being able to relax here after long days of hiking. Thanks so much for your hospitality!

We had a great stay at the Fox Place! Perfect location, lots of space for us, kids and dogs. So nice to catch the trolley right outside, head nearby to explore downtown Gatlinburg then come home and make dinner in the kitchen. Loved it! I would suggest, however, that the owner get rid of the rugs. There was a slight scent of dog when we came in so I rolled up the rugs and didn’t use them. I know how dogs like to scent when they smell other dogs so I’m guessing that had happened at some point. No biggie. Overall a wonderful stay!

Family getaway in the mountains

Fox Place is a quaint cottage. It is spacious enough for a family of 5 to find a quiet corner and allowed us to come together for meals. Walking distance to all things Gatlinburg.

We had a great time in this cute place. It is conveniently located and we walked almost the whole time because the traffic is pretty crazy in the little town.
