We’ve been married for 17 wonderful years and are blessed with 6 kids and 3 grandkids who keep life full of love and laughter. Traveling has always been a passion of ours, especially around the southeastern United States, where we enjoy discovering new places and making memories together.
Dan has a special role in our community as Santa Claus, spreading joy in Cincinnati, Ohio, while Gretchen often joins in as Mrs. Claus. It’s a tradition that brings us so much happiness each holiday season!
With our busy lives, we don’t always get to travel as much as we’d like—but hosting this cabin is part of our new adventure, and we’re excited to make more time for exploring, connecting, and sharing our love of the Smoky Mountains with our guests.
We’re so glad you’re here and hope our cabin feels like a home away from home for you and your family.
