Smoky Mountain Lake Cottage (Vans/Class B W 9.5' Max Height)

Description

I live in a little cottage in the Smoky Mountains around an idyllic pond/lake, smack dab inbetween Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge and only a 10 minute drive into the National Park. It’s me, my mom, my special needs brother** and 3 cats. I’m usually off traveling and still don't have a permanent home to call my own, but I live with my mom in between trips. We technically have 3 spots in our driveway, and can shuffle around to open up the easiest spot for a camper van or sprinter van to pull into. You can hook up to a water hose and a standard outdoor plug to charge your batteries. Preferably 2 night max, but we're flexible, we've always had a revolving door and have hosted and homed 100s of people one the years! Me and my mom both work from home and my brother** is most comfortable at home so there's almost always two of us here. I’ve always been huge into Couchsurfing (couchsurfing.com), both hosting and surfing all over the world...and recently someone gave me an old clunker of a camper van that I’m going to fix up and eventually van-life around Canada and Central America, so figured I’d get into boondocking! Pandemic life has been pretty isolating, so I'm interested in meeting new people.

**My big brother is mentally handicapped and also has a mental illness diagnosis. He’s super awesome and friendly and funny and my favorite person ever, but he also has very hard days and you may hear him talking and yelling through his bedroom, which is closest to the parking spot. There's no need to be alarmed, he's great and just wants to be treated and talked to like a normal dude. He’s also super curious and paces around the house and the outside of the house and tends to look in around in our vehicles and any vehicles parked at out house, so just keep your van locked when you’re sleeping and when you’re not around it.

Access Road Conditions

There are curvy roads to my house, but nothing too bad! 20 feet was the minimum available length option, but really this spot is only good for a camper van/sprinter van that can clear 9.5' which is the height of our carport. It’s a sharp upward turn into my driveway under a carport, and anything wider or taller than a van probably wouldn’t fit. Please don't send me a message if you have a vehicle+trailer set up or if you're larger than a normal camper van :)

Tow Vehicle Parking Details

Our carport only works for Class B Camper Vans and Cargo/Sprinter Vans. 20'-ish long and max 9.5' height.

We're available a lot and are flexible. Still reach out even if dates are blocked off.
