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!

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!

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.

I really enjoyed my stay and hated to leave. It was convenient and inviting. Only thing that might possibly need improvement is the queen bed mattress quality. Otherwise, it was hands down an excellent experience.

Great location near downtown but quiet. House was so nice. Clean and cosy. We loved finding the Scrabble game and a deck of cards. That produced much entertainment and lots of laughs. This lodging had everything we needed. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Fox Place Fox Den

My husband and I traveled to Gatlinburg for a family wedding and brought our small dog. Many cabins that were “pet friendly” cautioned against pets on furniture and required crating pets if you left the cabin. This rental was different, and Scott was very responsive in letting us know that it would be fine to leave our dog in the home without crating while we were gone for the wedding. I felt like I was at my grandma’s house, and really liked learning about the history of motels in the area. We stayed in the room with the king bed and it was so soft and cozy. I really slept well this trip. We played Scrabble on a rainy afternoon. Only drawback was difficulty finding an outlet in the kitchen to plug in the toaster. No big deal, we just made toast in the bedroom. Updated TVs in each bedroom and the living room were a welcome sight. Walking distance to all downtown Gatlinburg without having to pay for parking was awesome. It was a great trip! I highly recommend this rental for your next trip to the area.

Amazing accommodations with local charm

We really enjoyed our stay at Fox Place. It is accurate to the Vrbo listing and was easy to find . The building is a renovated vintage motel with new modern amenities, but it has rustic charm. It has a cabin feel with the wood work inside, i liked some of the antique looking furniture too. We only had 3 of us in our party, so the daybed room wasn't needed. The layout is unique, but with its age and renovations, its not surprising. I loved the proximity to downtown without being directly downtown Gatlinburg. Its an easy walk to all the shops and restaurants. I would definitely recommend this apartment, and will consider staying again. Scott one of the owners was very responsive to all my questions and offered suggestions for backways around town.
