Puppies Hollow is as charming as its name—and as its name suggests, pets are welcome. Though it appears cozy from the outside, it includes two bedrooms, a living area with a fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen, and even a washer and a dryer. You’re going to love it here.

A classic rondette, Puppies Hollow has a circular layout with an open living/dining/kitchen area. One advantage to this is that everyone can spend time together while doing his or her own thing. When you’re watching a movie on the living area’s Smart TV with cable and surround sound, someone else can be at the dining table surfing the web via the free WiFi or cooking in the kitchen. And no matter where you are, you’ll be able to bask in the golden glow of the stone-surround fireplace.

Puppies Hollow is close to numerous restaurants, serving everything from seafood to barbecue to pizza. One of the major advantages of staying in a cabin, however, is being able to cook your own meals or whip up a snack whenever you want. The kitchen is equipped with just about every appliance you could want, from a refrigerator/freezer and an oven/stove to a blender and a coffeemaker—and of course, a dishwasher. There’s a full array of cookware and tableware too.

The dining table seats four with room to spare. When the weather’s right, however, you’ll probably want to dine outside on the deck, which is furnished with tables and chairs. Larks and chickadees provide an idyllic soundtrack, and the fresh mountain breeze makes even the simplest meal seem like a feast. You can cook out on the deck as well, courtesy of the charcoal grill. If you reel in trout or bass from one of the local streams, grill it out here for a true taste of the Smokies. After the kids are asleep, you and your sweetheart can head outside for a nightcap in the silvery moonlight—so romantic.

When it’s time to turn in, you can sprawl out on the master bedroom’s king-size bed and watch your favorite late-night shows on the room’s TV. First, though, you might want to pamper yourself in the bedroom’s jetted tub. Especially after a day on the go, a leisurely soak among the massaging jets of water will feel so rejuvenating.

The second bedroom includes a full-size bed. Additional guests can sleep in the living area: One of the couches opens into a bed for two, enabling Puppies Hollow to sleep six people—and a couple of four-legged friends as well.

The cabin has both a full bathroom and a convenient half-bath. The latter includes a stacked washer and dryer, so you can pack especially light. When you arrive at Puppies Hollow you’ll find the beds beautifully made up, plenty of towels for bathrooms, and extra bedding ready and waiting.

Puppies Hollow is located in the Condo Villas community. In the summer you’ll have free access to its swimming pool. And year-round you can take advantage of the community’s proximity to the myriad area attractions. The Great Smoky Arts & Crafts Community, an 8-mile trail of more than 120 studios, shops, and galleries, is less than 10 minutes away. Just as close is downtown Gatlinburg, home to the Guinness World Records Adventure, Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies, thrill rides, distilleries, restaurants, arcades, mini golf, shops, and more. In 15 minutes you can drive to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park or to Ober Gatlinburg Amusement Park and Ski Area, where you can ski and snow tube in winter and ice-skate, visit the animal attraction, and enjoy rides year-round. (If you’re visiting in winter, you’ll want a vehicle with 4-wheel drive or tire chains; it can get snowy and icy here in the mountains.)

When you stay at Puppies Hollow, you can make the most of everything the Gatlinburg area has to offer. Don’t miss out; book your stay today.
