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.

The Castaway Cay 5K was hands down one of our favorite memories from our @disneycruiseline cruise, just me and my girl, running along the most beautiful island with that Caribbean breeze and the bluest water cheering us on. It’s such a fun (and free!) way to experience Castaway Cay in a totally different way.

If you’re planning a cruise, this is your sign to do the 5K — even if you walk it! Grab water early, go first thing before it gets too hot, and don’t forget to stop for pictures because you won’t want to forget this one! 🏅 

If you’re ready to book your own Disney cruise, I’d love for you to use my link in my bio and plan through Best Day Ever Vacation. It’s completely free to have the book for you and they have over 1000 5 star reviews! 🤍

🚨 Right now there’s an incredible deal: 20% off select voyage fares PLUS a $250 onboard credit 🙌 
That onboard credit can go toward excursions, specialty dining, souvenirs, or spa time (yes please).

Let me know if you have questions about the 5K or cruising with kids, it truly was the best day ever! (Make sure you use my link in bio to get your free quote so they know that I sent you!!)
