Location: Gatlinburg, TN

This short-term rental cabin had quirks in every corner—and we saw them as its greatest asset. Rather than smooth over the rough edges, we leaned into its original 1970s spirit, bringing back bold color, nostalgic textures, and playful charm.

We worked with the cabin’s original bones—wood paneling, funky built-ins, and a split-level layout—and layered in warm lighting, vintage-inspired furnishings, and cheeky accents that invite guests to slow down, smile, and settle in. The result is a space that feels like a well-loved time capsule: groovy and memorable.

It’s not just a place to stay—it’s the part of the trip guests talk about first.
