Carousel: Family Favorite! Best Value! Cozy, Scenic, Private, Hot tub, location


Welcome to The Carousel — a one-of-a-kind round house retreat perfectly perched in the
mountains with sweeping long-range views, making it an ideal spot to immerse yourself in the
vibrant colors of fall. Just minutes from the excitement of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, this
unique 3-bedroom, 3-bath getaway offers the perfect blend of natural beauty, comfort, and
convenience for an unforgettable mountain escape.
From your wrap-around deck or through the home’s many windows, you can watch the
mountains transform into a breathtaking patchwork of reds, oranges, and golds — a front-row
seat to nature’s most spectacular show. Inside, the open floor plan, soaring ceilings, and cozy
stone fireplace create a warm and inviting atmosphere, while the abundance of windows keeps
you connected to the incredible views.
The Carousel is designed for both relaxation and adventure. Soak in the indoor jetted tub or
unwind in the outdoor hot tub beneath the stars. Enjoy a friendly game of Ping Pong, or gather
around the charcoal grill for a mountain cookout.
Guests also have access to three community pools, tennis and pickleball courts, plus nearby golf
courses and zip line adventures. Whether you’re chasing thrills, exploring the great outdoors, or
simply soaking in the fall foliage from your deck, you’ll find it all here.
In every season — but especially autumn — The Carousel offers a magical setting to make
memories that last a lifetime.

We had a great stay here!! It was my family's 1st time in Gatlinburg and we had a blast. This cabin is in a great location, we loved all the outdoor/balcony space, there was plenty of room inside, and the indoor Jacuzzi tub was amazing!! We also really enjoyed the access to the community heated pool, it's super close to the cabin! Jackie, the host, was very easy to communicate with and so helpful with any questions or concerns we had. I would highly recommend and we would definitely stay here again in the future.

This place is awesome the people are great, the house is clean and welcoming. The pictures do not justify the experience you will get for here. Bears everywhere and the environment is awesome! I traveled with my daughters and there friends and we had a blast. The host was amazing and responsive,attentive to our needs. This place is just amazing let alone the great Smokey mountains. We had such a great one. Thank you so much very great place to enjoy with family. There is a hot tub outside on deck & in the first floor. Cool place to check out.

Enjoyed our stay at Carousel. Plenty of room for the 5 of us to not feel cramped. First morning had a visit from momma bear and her 3 cubs! Make sure to lock your car doors as they did try to get in our van by the dirty paw prints found on the handles. Google Maps and our GPS couldn't give us accurate directions to find the cabin so be sure to follow map provided by host. Host was easy to contact through text. The queen bed bedroom was on bottom floor and other two along with kitchen and living room were upstairs. Hot tub on deck was great. Carousel provided everything we needed for the week. would definitely stay again.

Adorable mountain home with lots of charm

We loved our trip and have this cabin saved for future trips! It was very large for our family and we really enjoyed the extras like the ping pong table for the kids and the jacuzzi tub. Our host was so easy to communicate with and we didn’t realize how high in the mountains we would be so we were very happy! We even had a bear visitor the first two nights of our trip. Will rent again.

This place was amazing! Talk about waking up in nature! We woke up to two does outside our window. Saw a bear climbing up the mountain right beside our car one night while traveling to the cabin! Pictures online don’t do it justice!! My father got to stay down stairs! Kids loved the Ping Pong table! Indoor and outdoor spa! Host was also amazing and always communicating! Spots close to eat but also nice that it wasn’t right in the middle of all the crazy traffic!

Family fun, mountains and bears, Oh My!!

We loved our stay at the Carousel! Jackie was a super host, she provided her phone # immediately after we reserved the house and communicated early on the date of our arrival even letting us know early that the house was available for early check in. The location was great about 30-40 minutes between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Even though located in a “subdivision” we felt secluded and rarely saw others. The community had 3 nice pools available for use too! The house was stocked full of everything we could need and was decorated so cute! Jackie told me there had a bear that visited frequently and we had a great show one evening! Would love to stay here again! Check out my pics for some fun pics of our nighttime show!
Loved the wrap around deck!
Beautifully decorated and comfy!
Cute little reading nook at top of spiral stairs
