Relax in the sauna upstairs or in the hot tub outside on the deck. If you want to be close to town but still feel like you're up in the mountains, A New Beginning gives you the best of both!
A NEW BEGINNING welcomes you to the heart of Gatlinburg with beautiful views every day. This 2BR 2Bath (new in 2022) is only minutes from downtown Gatlinburg and many popular attractions:

After you've spent the day exploring the area, you'll love coming home to A NEW BEGINNING. There's a new concrete parking pad right in front of the cabin with NO STAIRS to enter. Easy access for children, pets and anyone who appreciates not having to drag suitcases and groceries up and down stairs!
On the main floor, you'll find the living, dining and kitchen areas plus a king bedroom and full bath with washer and dryer. The French doors lead out to a gorgeous deck with unobstructed views to the mountains and cabins in the distance. At night, the view lights up with twinkling lights. And when you're enjoying the hot tub after a long day of sight-seeing, it's absolutely heavenly. Even the hot tub has LED lights that change color for added ambiance.
You'll love having morning coffee on the deck as you plan your day's activities. Or use the charcoal grill for an evening BBQ dinner. The views are gorgeous any time of day.
The kitchen has plenty of counter space for meal prep plus a huge refrigerator for all your groceries. The gleaming granite counters and new stainless steel appliances will make any cook feel right at home.
The sleeping arrangements offer two king bedrooms--one upstairs and one on the main floor. The sleeper sofa in the living area folds out to a queen bed. All the beds are made up and ready for you with fresh linens, while we provide a sheet set and pillows for the sleeper sofa that you can make up at night, if you need it.
The second floor features not only the second bedroom and bathroom, but also an open loft that looks out to the mountains. The loft offers relaxation...entertainment...and a special space that some guests will totally appreciate! For relaxing moments, you must experience the sauna...something you'll rarely find in a cabin. For entertainment, the 60-in-1 video game table will provide hours of fun for one or two players. And for guests who need a quiet space to check emails or post a video, the desk area is tucked right behind the sauna. It's a private little space for time with your laptop or tablet.
Speaking of electronics, each bedroom and the living room feature a huge Smart TV. Watch your favorite shows on Netflix or YouTube videos. There's Wifi too so you can connect your devices.
A NEW BEGINNING welcomes adult dogs up to 55 pounds. Sorry--no puppies, kittens or cats. Dogs must be at least one year old, fully house trained and on a flea/tick program.

The cabin was very nice. The hot tub, sauna and jacuzzi tub were a hit. We made great memories playing Pac-Man and board games as a family. The location was convenient and close to everything we needed. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this cabin and will stay here again in the future.
