So cozy!
Had a great time at the Friar’s Fifth cabin! It was so cozy and allowed me and my husband time to relax and recharge. Would highly recommend staying with Mountain Laurel Chalets when looking for a cabin in the Gatlinburg area!

Wonderful
This cabin is a slice of heaven on earth. The quiet, mountain location provided for a quiet, peaceful vacation . We enjoyed the serenity of the rocking chairs on the porch for early morning coffee. The inside of the cabin is well appointed, clean, and cozy with plenty of room for four people. We had everything we needed for a very relaxing stay. Perfect!

We're so glad you enjoyed Friar's Fifth! Please come see us and stay again soon!

Cozy and beautiful
The charm of this cabin is phenomenal. Perfect for small family or in our case another couple. The cabin has anything you would need. Super clean and just perfect. The touch with the donut friar mugs makes you feel the history of the cabin. Went out bought one of those same mugs last year. This year we got another mug from the donut friar with the mountain flowers. Just an awesome home away from home

The perfect place to relax and unwind!
My husband and I and another couple stayed at Friar’s Fifth September 20 through 25. What a wonderful stay! The location is peaceful and quiet. The perfect place to relax and unwind. The cabin is clean and spacious with a well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed the rocking chairs on the porch to begin and end our day. This cabin had everything we needed for our stay. We even had a bear sighting! It doesn’t get much better! Will definitely be back!

All the amenities you need!
We chose Mountain Laurel Chalets per a recommendation from a former customer. I can confidently say we were not disappointed. The property is well taken care of and was very clean. It has all the amenities that you could possibly think of and if you need anything the staff was always very helpful.

Recent updates!
We absolutely love Friar’s Fifth and Mountain Laurel Chalets! This was our 2nd time staying in this cabin. We have stayed in several others I’ve the years but this has quickly become our new favorite. We love the atmosphere & the recent updates too! Now I want to remodel my kitchen at home!

Friar's Fifth
The only issue we encountered was that the downstairs shower needed to have the shower head replaced. Otherwise a wonderful time!
William Hisle - Posted: 4/2/2023
Thank you for your feedback, William! We have replaced the shower head per your advice, and it's working excellently. Hope to see you again very soon!

Our week at Friar’s Fifth
The cabin was very clean. We liked the location and really enjoyed the front porch rocking chairs. The beds were comfortable . Our only suggestion would be better living room furniture. The couch was very uncomfortable. The chairs weren’t much better. The living room tv was too complicated to use.
We saw a mother bear and 2 cubs. They tried to get into our suburban but it was locked.
