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!

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.

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.

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 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.

Fox Place Gatlinburg

Reminded me of staying in a cabin. Very comfortable and great location. My grandson walked into town with me numerous times. We were even treated with a black bear visit at the motel next door. They are pet friendly. I want to thank the owners for having a quaint cabin with all the comforts of home.

Quiet vacation

The whole experience was easy. The apartment /house was clean with everything you pretty much needed except the food. Had no problem with anything. Would come back here again! And hubby's input was he was happy it had 2 bathrooms! Thank you Scott for making it all easy.
