Gatlinburg Cabin: Up the Ante TN

October 22, 2021 | Hotels, Travel

Disclosure: We were provided with a hosted stay in the cabin, however, all opinions are my own.

It’s no secret my family loves the Smoky Mountains. We love the laid back feel, the family friendly atmosphere, and the views, oh, the views! We were so excited to get to experience all of this and more recently when we stayed in a beautiful cabin in Gatlinburg called Up The Ante TN (read until the end for a special code for booking!)

 

The cabin has 4 bedrooms, (3 with king beds, one with two sets of bunk beds) and each room has it’s own bathroom making it ideal to share with multiple families. There is also a game room with half bath and sofa sleeper, media room, hot tub, full laundry, sweeping views of the mountains on two balconies, AND it’s super close to everything in Gatlinburg (we are talking 5 minutes!)

We love traveling with my parents, so this cabin was great to give us all our own space while also providing plenty of gathering places throughout the home to eat a meal, play games, drink coffee, or enjoy a glass of wine. The game and media room are perfect for the kids, and I love that it’s downstairs so they can be loud and have fun without disturbing the bedrooms two floors above.

It’s also ideal that all of the bedrooms are on the top floor so if someone needs to nap or go to bed early, everyone else in the house doesn’t have to be super quiet.

When you stay at Up the Ante TN, you also have access to an outdoor pool and a fitness room that are within walking distance of the cabin!

We also enjoyed being able to use the charcoal grill out front and full kitchen inside to save money on meals by not eating out every day.

 

The cabin was fully stocked with all the comforts of home like plates and bowls, utensils, salt and pepper, extra paper towels and toilet paper, hand soap in the bathrooms, and dishwashing detergent. There was even a cabinet full of games that Emma Kate loved diving into.

On top of all the amazingness of the cabin, the owners do a great job leading up to your arrival by providing you with insider tips on Gatlinburg, things to do, discounts, along with any special instructions about the home itself, directions, Wi-Fi, etc.

We made so many special family memories at Up the Ante TN, and I think it would make a great place to stay for a multigenerational family, two families staying together (or 3!), a girls trip, or really any trip! We felt right at home and you can tell so much love and thought has gone into making this cabin feel cozy and welcoming.

This past summer, we learned how real dog anxiety This past summer, we learned how real dog anxiety can be. (Ad)

After a really stressful week with a new sitter (who wasn’t a great fit and left her alone far too long), Dolly started coping the only way she knew how — nonstop licking. What started as “normal anxious behavior” turned into a raw wound that required a vet visit, meds, and constant care.

We changed a few things in her routine, and we also added NaturVet Daily Emotional Support Calming Supplements into her daily support. The difference has been incredible. She’s settled, sleeping better, no more licking, and truly back to her happy, goofy self.

I’m sharing this for anyone whose dog struggles with stress, separation, or big changes. You’re not overreacting. Their anxiety is real — and it deserves real support. 🤍

You can find @naturvet Daily Emotional Support Calming Supplements  at select Walmart stores, and they’ve been such a gentle, helpful part of Dolly’s healing.
