Vacation rentals are not all created equal. That's why Stony Brook Lodging works so hard to provide guests with an unforgettable customer service and luxurious rental experience. To help families who are searching for vacation homes or Gatlinburg cabin rentals this winter, we have created a checklist of how to choose the right vacation rental in the Smoky Mountains:


1. Look at Photos

Our number one tip is to look at photos of the rental. Pay close attention to details including room sizes and furniture. You'll also be able to see the home's features, from pool tables to open floor plans. Photos will also should provide you with an idea of the views. If you don't have photos of the view, be sure to call and ask what the rental looks out on. Views can make or break a trip, especially a trip to the Smoky Mountains.


2. Find Out Amenities

Create your own checklist of amenities while searching: great views, hot tub, theater room, game room, pet-friendly cabins in Gatlinburg. Knowing what you want will help in narrowing down the selection of rentals. Before settling in, we want to make sure guests have chosen a place with the amenities they want, and, then we try to give them more. Stony Brook offers furnished Gatlinburg cabin rentals, filled with amenities including hot tubs and wood fireplaces.
