Idle Days
Where you'll be
Description
The covered porch that wraps around the front and side of the cabin is large enough for the whole gang to congregate. You can cook up hamburgers—or even better, trout you reeled in yourself!—on the charcoal grill then savor it in the cool shade of the porch while gazing out onto the pond and watching birds flit from tree to tree.
The lower level has its own deck and it also houses the hot tub. Should you venture out for a day of skiing, hiking, rafting, or exploring the Gatlinburg Arts and Crafts Loop, a long soak will unknot your tired muscles afterward. Of course, you can skip the physical activity and still treat yourself to a session in the tub’s steamy, bubbling waters. You’re on vacation—we won’t judge!
The downstairs is also home to the game room. No need to drive into town at night in search of amusement: You can shoot some pool at the game room’s full-size billiard table while watching TV or listening to music on the CD player. Idle Days has a library of books and board games too—there really is entertainment for all ages here!
The main floor’s living room is another great hangout space. The plush roll-arm sofas are so comfortable, once you kick back you might never want to get up again! That’s okay: You can watch your favorite cable channels on the flat-screen TV, surf the web, or stretch out for a nap. In winter the gas fireplace makes the room especially cozy and gives the wood floor, walls, and ceiling a welcoming glow.
The adjacent dining area can also accommodate the entire gang. The long farmhouse table seats 8 people comfortably; after you’ve cleared the dishes, bring out the Scrabble game and settle in for a tournament. Or make some popcorn and head to the living room for a movie, or whip up a batch of daiquiris and sip them out on the porch. So many options!
In addition to a blender for mixing those frosty drinks, the kitchen has plenty of other appliances, from oven/stove and microwave to coffeemaker and toaster. You’ll also find all the cookware and tableware you could possibly need. And because nobody wants to scrub plates while on vacation, Idle Days has a dishwasher too.
When it comes to RnR, a comfortable bedroom is key. Idle Days has 2, one on each floor for maximum privacy if you’re vacationing with another couple. Each bedroom has a king-size bed for sprawling across, a TV, plenty of storage, and direct access to one of the cabin’s 2 full bathrooms. What’s more, a sofa in the living room and the couch in the game room each open into a bed for 2, enabling up to 8 people to stay overnight.
Although Idle Days has just about everything you need to happily while away your vacation, there’s plenty more to do just outside your doorstep. In the summer you can walk to the heated pools—one for adults and one for kids—of the Black Bear Falls Log Home Community. And any time of year you can drive to downtown Gatlinburg in just a few minutes, where you can enjoy miniature golf, an aquarium, and more. And let’s not forget the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the country’s most popular, with its hiking trails, waterfalls, wildlife, and wildflowers.
Sounds like a dream vacation, doesn’t it? Here’s your chance to make it a dream come true: Book your stay at Idle Days today!

Owner did not schedule maintenance for a Jacuzzi Replacement and Internet/Video upgrade with us. We were surprised on two days of our stay and lost valuable time on our vacation. Would have been very easy to just let us know what to expect. No consideration by the owner of our time.

Hi Edward, we deeply apologize for the inconvenience that the maintenance and our office caused you. We want our guests to be able to enjoy 100% of their vacation as possible. I do see our office was aware of the miscommunication but please let us know if there is anything else we can do -Bella

Parking isn't very good even with only one vehicle. My concern however is with a few maintenance issues 1. The door knob going into the 1st floor bedroom was so loose it was about to fall off 2. The door knob going into the 1st floor bathroom from the bedroom had same issue so I tightened them both so we could open and close the doors then they worked good 3. The fireplace did not work but after trying it once we did not try it again 4. Several doors squeaked just needs a little lubricant 5. The floor in the 1st floor bathroom has a squeaky spot in it that can be heard by the person on the first floor and in the basement bedroom 6. The first floor toilet seat needs to be tightened Otherwise the cabin was good. Yesterday we lost power which happens and is not anyones fault the reason I mentioned it is because we did not try resist anything

Home had excellent amenities. Hot tub was great after a long day of hiking. Plenty of outdoor patio seating. It was very relaxing to sit outside and listen to the creek. Home is also in close proximity to the park.
