Description

FREE FUN INCLUDED EVERY DAY! We have hand picked a variety of offers from top attractions and given you one of each, for free, for every day of your stay. Attractions include Dollywood, Anakeesta, Soaky Mountain Water Park, Wonderworks, and many more! You can use all or none of these freebies each day; it’s completely up to you. In addition to our FREE activities, we also offer several additional activities at a discounted rate.

Perfect for one or two couples or a small family, this pet-friendly home is decorated in a modern Scandinavian style. It features two bedrooms, each with a private bath, a fully equipped kitchen, a large great room, and view for miles. You’ll be saying, “hello, sunshine,” every morning as you take in the break of dawn over the mountains from the deck of this luxurious home. Grab a cup of coffee and a seat outside and take in the peace and calm of each brand new day. Let the sunrise awaken a fresh, new spirit within you.

Paved parking and a low ramp make entry into the chalet a breeze. Once inside, beautiful hardwood floors and bright swatches of color will catch your eye and welcome you in. A writing desk tucked into the entry nook allows space to access the chalet's high speed WIFI and surf the web for interesting restaurants to visit downtown or work (if you must). Bluetooth speakers fill the living room ceiling for your listening pleasure. To your left is the first bedroom, home to a massive queen sized bed and private bath (and your own television). The bathroom has a tub/shower and is recently remodeled in black and white with state of the art fixtures.

Open to the great room, the kitchen is the center of the house and has all major appliances and everything you need to prepare and serve meals. Eat at the bar or dining table, or move outside to dine in the fresh mountain air. The dining table is not only a great place to eat; it’s also a great spot to play cards or a board game, or start that puzzle you've been meaning to work on. Not in the mood for games? Perhaps you would rather catch a movie on the large television in the living area while lounging on the three-cushion couch or in one of the three comfy armchairs. ***PLEASE NOTE THAT THE FIREPLACE IS DECORATIVE ONLY AND DOESN’T FUNCTION***

The second bedroom is on the other side of the kitchen and features a queen bed with a private bath (and another television). This bathroom is also done in black and white and features a shower stall with gorgeous geometric tiles on the floor.

No doubt your favorite space will be the deck, where you can kick back on a two-piece sofa set or two modern rattan chairs and take in the Smoky Mountains. There is a gas grill conveniently located at one end of the deck for steak enthusiasts!

You don't have to leave Fido at home—this chalet is PET FRIENDLY! Dogs under 30lbs are welcome here. Please comply with our policies to make traveling with pets possible for guests after you. The pet fee is $75 per reservation for each pet (limit of two pets).

Bring your cell phone - this home doesn’t have a landline! There are security video cameras located on the front deck and the rear driveway. This footage is only used for verification of number of guests and pets and to ensure the safety of the property.

We really enjoyed our stay at the chalet. The deck out front was perfect to view the sunrise as well as the view of Gatlinburg. There were only two of us and our pet but plenty of room for four people.

Manager's Response

Hello Sunshine is an amazing pet-friendly chalet, we are so glad you all and your furry friend were able to enjoy your stay there! The view at Hello Sunshine is definitely one of my favorites, its awesome that you got to take advantage of it! We hope that you all will come back and stay with us again soon!

Property photos were accurate reflection of the home. It's important for cleaning crew to conduct a thorough job even on a new rental. Floors and evidence of mildew was present around shower door (can be easily cleaned with proper cleaning supplies). Area rug was not vacuumed (evidence of food remnants in shag). The thermostat was controlled at constant 70 degrees. As such, it would be beneficial to have extra blankets; we couldn't find any). Might be helpful to install a handrail in shower to avoid slips/falls.). Overall a lovely chalet, albeit a VERY steep driveway.

Hello sunshine was a clean and very updated unit. We loved EVERYTHING about it. And Finally a nice pet friendly unit. We loved the bed pillows because they are very thick and sturdy But I would suggest you bring your own pillows for sleeping. The view is wonderful. It rained the entire time and we still loved our view. We will be returning.

The house was a perfect size for our family of 3 and had everything we needed for our 11 night stay. It has a beautiful view and great location. The house was very nicely decorated, but very dirty when we arrived. I went to the store to buy cleaning supplies and cleaned it to my liking. It's a fantastic house, just needs new cleaners to maintain it better.

This cabin was great. The elevated deck faced downtown G-burg and the mountains. Plenty of trees to make it feel secluded despite other cabins nearby. My biggest complaint would be that it was advertised as having a fireplace but the fireplace was not functioning at the time of our rental--we were really looking forward to fireplace stories with our kids. The air filter was pretty dirty and full of pet hair, but there were spares on location so we changed that ourselves. Also the pull out couch bed had no sheets on it and none that we could easily find. Aside from those issues, I would say that this cabin was great and we would absolutely stay there again.

We enjoyed our stay in this really well maintained property, it was spacious and very comfortable, has everything you would need to cook also. The view from the balcony of the mountains was lovely, 10 minutes or so to national park. Driveway is very steep as the house is perched up high and we made sure we were back in home before dark as the roads to it are also curving. 2 good bedrooms, and nice bathrooms, even a washer/dryer so very comfortable for a family of 4.

Secure & lock trash, next door people did not and a mama bear and cubs were right in front of us eating from it. We were happy with our choice of staying at this home.

Manager's Response

Thank you Ansu, we are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at Hello Sunshine. And yes, it is important to always make sure that your trash is locked up, as open trash is a bear magnet. We hope to see you back with us soon!

We had a lovely week. The place is clean, modern, and has everything. I loved it. I wish there were more instructions on recycling and a separate canister on the side. Other than that, I have recommended the property to others because it is so nice. The washer was broken because all of the repair people were booked. We understood. The pools were nice too. Don't forget your coffee filters! I left a couple because the 1st day was a bust and I forgot them. Yes, they did have a list to remind the guests what to bring, so my fault.

Manager's Response

It seems like you all had a great time at Hello Sunshine! It is a beautiful chalet that has so much to offer, and as soon as you walk in the doors, it feels like another home. We always want to exceed our guests expectations, so we appreciate the feedback that you have given, and we do apologize for the washer. We would love to have you back with us soon!

Found the before pictures on Zillow and wow what a transformation. The owners did a phenomenal job of bringing this cabin up to date with modern twist that preserves the smoky mountain spirit. It was bright, fresh and airy in the common areas. The bedrooms however, are dark enough for sleeping for late risers. The remodeled bathrooms were modern and bright. We enjoyed the deck, but insects were a problem. The driveway is steep, but it is not a problem for a high clearance vehicle such as a SUV, like ours. The first bedroom has a sleep number mattress that our son could not get comfortable in (I have had the same problem with Hotels that use those mattresses), not a fan. The kitchen is cook friendly and well equipped.

Stayed in this cabin as a way to extend our stay in the area, Pam at Mountain Laurel Chalets made our transition from another cabin to Hello Sunshine seamless and painless. Thank you, Pam!

Looking forward to another stay in Hello Sunshine, it lives up to it’s name.

Manager's Response

We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at Hello Sunshine! We agree that the updates are amazing, and the view might be even better! We hate to hear about the mattress, we are sorry about that, but are glad you enjoyed your stay nonetheless. We always want to accommodate our guests a best we can, and Pam did a great job of finding you all a cabin and getting you settled. We look forward to seeing you again!

This cabin was generously appointed and nicely updated. It was perfect for our stay of two adults, two toddlers, and our dog. Love that it’s pet friendly! Due to Covid, there were no cleaning services or linen exchanges during our stay which was fine (although could be a dealbreaker for some). I guess I don’t know why they couldn’t have left clean towels on the front porch or something? Check in was easy. I would recommend this cabin specifically to others! There is a pizza place that delivers to the property.

Manager's Response

Kristen, thank you for the review and we are glad Hello Sunshine met you family's need, including the dog! We do not normally provide cleaning services, except for departure clean, but we do have a linen swap, when the office is able to be open. Believe me, we are anxious to get past the pandemic and open our office back up. We miss interacting with our guests! We hope you were able to use the washer/dryer to wash up the towels (if you had your own detergent). Keep us in mind when you plan your next trip to the Smokies and hopefully we can properly greet you in the office!

Very clean, well equipped chalet. My husband is handicapped so the ramps going into the Chalet were wonderful for a wheelchair. View at night of the City is exceptional. My only disappointment was the Fireplace was just for looks and non working. I should paid more attention to details. If the Chalet had a working Fireplace for chilly nights it would be ideal. The staff at Mountain Laurel is wonderful I have been staying with Mountain Laurel Chalets for years never disappointed.

The rental experience was very good! We loved the updated, modern look of the "cabin". The driveway was a bit steep, but not a problem to access. The cabin was very clean. We had the pleasure of a visit from a small bear in our backyard while there. The only thing that was a little off-putting was the fact that at night, the temp of A/C was increased (they have nest controllers), so it was a little warm while sleeping. Other than that, I would definitely recommend this cabin. It would not have been my first choice since from the outside it does not look like a cabin, however, I am so glad we had a chance to be convinced by the inside. It is beautiful! Close to Gatlinburg. Easy drive to Pigeon Forge through the bypass that is also beautiful.

Manager's Response

Thank you for the review and we are glad you enjoyed Hello Sunshine and the beauty of the Smoky Mountains. The driveway can be a bit unsettling the first time you go up, but totally manageable once you are used to it. We are pleased to hear you found the cabin clean and comfortable and enjoyed seeing the four-legged mountain visitors. The bears are the reason we stress to always lock your car doors because they can open them! We hope you are able to visit us again soon.

Hello Sunshine was a perfect lodging choice! Located within minutes of the national park entrance, we didn't waste any time traveling. The chalet was beautifully decorated and equipped with everything we needed. We loved the local bear that visited our deck one evening and seemed to use the driveway as a regular path. We learned why there are not screens on every window! The steep driveway was a surprise but our little Prius made it! The daily drive up the mountain was a favorite part of the trip. This was a new property so had been recently renovated. Everything was crisp and new. The view was fabulous! So much better than going to the 4 walls of a hotel room each night. On the downside, I found the mattress and pillows uncomfortable. When we arrived after office hours, our packet did not include the entrance code. We had to call the local police to be connected to an after-hours number for the code. It was quickly remedied but could have been worse if we'd arrive late at night. We also had some plumbing issues that were addressed promptly. We would definitely use Mountain Laurel again! We might choose Hello Sunshine or might opt for a change just for fun.

Manager's Response

Thank you for the review and the feedback on your stay as our first guest at Hello Sunshine. The homeowner has put a lot of attention and care into the decor and we are glad you enjoyed the cabin. The driveway can be a bit tricky the first time, but it gets easier with each trip. We appreciate your comment about the mattress and will let the owner know. That is something that is different for every person and it's hard to please everyone. The door code was included on the paperwork you picked up at the office and we are sorry that you could not find the code easily. That issue will be resolved when we are able to greet our guests in person once again, which we miss greatly! Our after hours staff member can be reached by calling the office number and listening to the recording for the number to call, which I'm sure the police officer did. We have a great police force and they are always happy to help our visitors. We truly appreciate your understanding with the septic issue. Everything has been addressed and is good as new! It's always a thrill to see a bear and they have certainly been very active this summer! I think they are glad to have our guests back in town after the shut down last spring! We look forward to welcoming you back again on your next trip to the Smokies.
