Wonderful stay at Aspen House

We always enjoy our stay at Aspen House. Everything we needed was provided and clean as a pin. Very close to downtown, actually within walking distance. No fighting traffic. And the house is right on the Little Pigeon River.

Ruth and her daughter were very accomodating. They let us know all of the check in info, and even let us check in early. The cottage on the river was very nice and we had everything that we needed. It was a short walk to downtown, so we didn't have to pay the 20.00 parking fees.We even had several visits from the bears, and one of them tried to help us cook on the grill.If there is any negative, it was the size of the bathroom. It was small and the tub was very deep making it hard for someone with short legs like mine to get in and out.The wifi was great and didn't miss a beat all week.We made reservations for next year and are already looking forward to it.

Cozy house in a great location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house was cute and cozy and we found the vintage decor very charming, like staying at grandma’s house. The neighborhood was very quiet, the view of the river(and the geese!) was even better than expected and the location was convenient to everything. The walk into Gatlinburg would’ve been a bit far for us, but the trolley stop was very close to the house. 10/10 would definitely recommend and we can’t wait to go back again!

The property was excellent for our latest stay in Gatlinburg. A very clean and well equipped cottage with plenty of extra space to spread out and enjoy the area. Definitely have Ruth’s place on our A+ list as the location is exceptional.

Favorite VRBO

I’ve stayed in numerous VRBOs and this one might be my favorite. This one didn’t feel outdated to me at all. It felt like going to visit my grandmother. The decor is just perfect! This property had everything we needed. Plenty of room for everybody, great location, and a gorgeous view of the river. I would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Stay

The house was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. We loved being on the river and saw bear every day that we were there. It’s a little piece of paradise. It’s tucked away on a back street but close to town. We walked into town every day.
