ECHO PLACE. A cozy Family Base Camp for Hiking, Skiing, and Area Exploration!

Echo Place has over 1,580 SF of living area with lots of surrounding porches and decks. A bedroom and bath on each of the three levels makes the ideal setup for up privacy when more than one couple/family come together for fun in the Smokies. We advertise to sleep (8) due to size of cabin. However with the sofa bed and loft cubby it can actually sleep eight (8) adults and three (3) children comfortably. Plenty of very well lit parking for at least 4 vehicles. Zero steps to the main level!

The Main Level features a bedroom with King bed and bunkbeds for kids/teenagers, HDTV and DVD player. The bathroom is shared with the main living area. Open kitchen/dining/living room with HDTV/DVD Player and Bluetooth surround sound to stream your own music. A huge stone fireplace, soaring ceilings, plenty of glass/french doors to the decks and woods make this space seem huge. The deck space off the main level includes a large covered porch with picnic table, open decking with Adirondack chairs and a bar w/seating to take in the views and mountain air. Also a half-court shuffleboard off the parking lot makes for great outdoor fun. The hiking center is at the entrance with hiking poles, binoculars, and a ruck pack full of emergency items.

The Loft Level features a Queen bed w/child sleeping area, private bath and French doors leading to a nice balcony and sitting area. HDTV.

The Lower Level features a third bedroom with King bed, HDTV, UT themed laundry room, and a recreation room. The bathroom is shared between the rec room and bedroom. Recreation includes a beautiful handcrafted shuffleboard table, an air hockey table, and a 3-in-1 bumper pool/poker/game table. Comfortable sectional for viewing movies on the large surround sound HDTV with Bluetooth theater. Plenty of movies and games provided for your use as well as several board games.
Off the Rec Room is an enclosed screened in porch with a bubbling hot tub and comfortable seating to take in the night. A grille area is just outside (bring your own charcoal).
Internet and Streaming Services provided along with plenty of movies onsite for family movie night.

This was the second time we’ve stayed at Echo Place and could not have asked for a better host, house or location. Jay answered questions quickly and the house was perfect for our needs. Easy access to the park as well as downtown. We saw 9 bears this trip, including 4 cubs! A family of barred owls also stopped by on our last day! We will definitely stay here again in the future!

Our Second Stay at Echo Place…

…And we loved being back! You can’t find a better vacation home than Echo Place for beautiful views, comfortable rooms, and bear encounters. The bears stayed away for a couple of days, then finally emerged. My husband had an “up close” encounter with one bear that came right up to the house. Later, we forgot to lock the car (our bad!) and found in the morning that a bear had rummaged through it. Fortunately no car damage, but heed the warnings and lock those cars, folks! We love Echo Place and you will, too. The layout of the home is perfect for couples / small groups; plenty of room to visit while still having your own private space. Love the hot tub, the cozy kitchen (with everything you need for cooking) and the wonderful deck for relaxing in the mountain air. Book this place TODAY - you won’t be sorry. To quote Ahhh-nold: “I’ll be back!”

Nice base for a family vacation

Nice family vacation. Cute cabin with plenty of beds for the entire family. My teens enjoyed the game room and hot tub, and that there is a tv in every room! Wifi was good too. The beds were very comfortable! I've been to some vrbo's that have had horrible beds, so i was pleasantly surprised!!

Nice Gatlinburg home- close to downtown!

Our family of 4 spent 4 nights here. This is our second family trip to the area but we stayed in Sevierville last year. We didnt see any bears.Pros: 3 comfortable beds (and a bunk bed) 3 bath. Great Hot tub. Deck with a view (Mostly woods and neighbors). Clean (a few cobwebs downstairs but nothing terrible). Comfortable. Homey. Close to downtown Gatlinburg. Wifi. Roku. Easy parking right in front of home. Foosball, air hockey, shuffle board table, & poker table available. Cons: Steep road to cabin (freaked me out). Lower and upper decks and adirondack chairs could use a good power washing.Bring coffee, creamer, sugar. Bring laundry soap. Bring beach towels (for hot tub). If you want paper plates bring them but kitchen is stocked with plates, silverware, pots and pans. Hot Tub is downstairs- as long as everyone can walk up & down stairs everything will be fine.Overall loved the place but wouldn't stay here again only because of the steep road to the cabin. I'm from Michigan (a flatlander) and it's simply not my thing. The road is probably not bad to anyone from here- but I am not and it was our first time staying in Gatlinburg. I purposely avoided listings where reviews indicated steep roads but this one didn't so I'm just giving my personal opinion on that! I now understand if you're staying anywhere in Gatlinburg that's not downtown you're going UP! So much to do for everyone close by!!

Mountain stay but close to town

We rented this and met my parents there for the holiday. Location was great. Less than 5 min drive to Ober or to the Gatlinburg strip. There was a total of 6 people. This house fit our needs perfectly. 3 levels and each level has a bedroom and bathroom. All 3 showers had pretty decent water pressure (this is a must for ladies). House was equipped enough for us to cook a few meals there. Has a full size washer/dryer thats available to use. Hot tub is in a screened in area off the bottom level. We were there for just over 1 hour and were in the hot tub area when we saw a bear come walking down the stairs from the upper deck. He walked about 3-5 ft away from us. That was the only bear sighting we had but with it being so cold, our outdoor time was limited. Jay and Susan were fantastic hosts. Quick to respond to emails. Hope to stay here again. Tip: bring extra pillowsPro tip: take directions from Jay and ignore your GPS. The gps will take you over the treacherous mountain roads at night and you will arrive on a wing and a prayer. Jay’s directions take you through Gatlinburg and a straight shot up to the cabin. Even gridlocked traffic will be better than the GPS directions. Trust me.
