How to Choose the Right Winter Vacation Rental in the Smoky Mountains

Vacation rentals are not all created equal. That’s why Stony Brook Lodging works so hard to provide guests with an unforgettable customer service and luxurious rental experience. To help families who are searching for vacation homes or Gatlinburg cabin rentals this winter, we have created a checklist of how to choose the right vacation rental in the Smoky Mountains:

1. Look at Photos

Our number one tip is to look at photos of the rental. Pay close attention to details including room sizes and furniture. You’ll also be able to see the home’s features, from pool tables to open floor plans. Photos will also should provide you with an idea of the views. If you don’t have photos of the view, be sure to call and ask what the rental looks out on. Views can make or break a trip, especially a trip to the Smoky Mountains.

2. Find Out Amenities

No matter where you travel, vacations are a time to take advantage of perks and benefits. Create your own checklist of amenities while searching: great views, hot tub, theater room, game room, pet-friendly cabins in Gatlinburg. Knowing what you want will help in narrowing down the selection of rentals. Before settling in, we want to make sure guests have chosen a place with the amenities they want, and, then we try to give them more. Stony Brook offers furnished Gatlinburg cabin rentals, filled with amenities including hot tubs and wood fireplaces. To give our guests an even better vacation experience, you’ll also receive one free attraction ticket for each paid night of the stay. This money saving offer never ends and will admit you to your choice of one dinner show, attraction, zipline or more.

3. Read the Reviews

Previous guests are a good indication of what the experience will be. Stony Brook’s TripAdvisor reviews are excellent, and we’re even prouder of our top notch customer service reviews. Not only will you get a feel for the company, you can also find out more information about a specific vacation rental in the Smoky Mountains. Taygans Place, a group cabin with a grand staircase and home theater, is mentioned frequently by reviewers because of all the amenities we offer inside, as well as the home-like feel. Described as “heaven in the Smokies,” our Gatlinburg cabin rentals are a great choice for families, groups and couples who don’t want to be stuck in a tight suite during their vacation.

4. Learn the Distance

While traveling in winter, it is important to know how far you’ll be from the sights and attractions you’d like to visit. We have secluded and semi-secluded cabins, so guests can choose whether they’d like to be tucked away in the mountains or closer to entertainment and events. All of Stony Brook’s Gatlinburg cabin rentals are surrounded by stunning mountain and wooded views, so you won’t have to worry about sacrificing location for views.

If you’re ready to make a vacation choice, we would love to have you stay in one of our Gatlinburg cabin rentals. Each of our properties has photos and a description the amenities offered, so be sure to browse the site to find the right vacation rental in the Smoky Mountains. We look forward to seeing you soon!
