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!

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.

This little place in the heart of Gatlinburg, TN has an old time feel and is in walking distance to downtown Gatlinburg and a short drive to Pigeon Forge. If you play it right you may also see the resident bears that come out from time to time. Will definitely look to stay here again if we come to Gatlinburg

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.
