You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Always a great time. The area is beautiful. And last year I was sitting in a patio area by the creek looking at my phone and I looked up and a bear cub head appears. Uh oh.Where is Momma bear? I went to find a person from the hotel. When we got back to the spot the Mommma and two cubs were walking along the parking lot of the hotel that used to be behind the Sidney James. They all climbed up the hills into the woods. Pretty cool. I have been to Mountain Hounds I think 7 times and it was my first time seeing a bear.

I posted in another MtH thread about always making my next years reservation prior to leaving and wanted to clarify a bit more. If you end up not being able the event the following year there hadn't been traditionally hasn't been a cancellation fee, given a timely cancellation. Mainly because the resort knows that there are more waiting in the wings to grab the rooms. I believe if you register for the next years event with the best intentions of attending then you do not, you shouldn't have a problem rehoming you room.

 

Hope to see you there!

Racindog, regarding room availability you should contact the event organizer, Lynda Montgomery, via the Mountain Hounds FB page. She'll know if there are rooms are available or not more so than the hotel staff. She has a great working relationship with the Sidney James.

Anyone stayed elsewhere other than the SJ? My only concern would be where to park for Bingo.

Might be more of a problem to find a dog friendly place to stay.

Yes, we have lots of different breeds, including some small ones. We ask those with small dogs to understand the greyhound breed and to be aware of their little on at all times.

Parking can be a PITA. There is a parking lot a bit down the hill. Or parking at the park. BUT do not walk back in the dark to the park you may find a bear. I can always give you a ride to the park after Bingo.

Other accomodations...........big sigh escapes as I type..................we are calling all the dog friendly hotels in Gatlinburg AGAIN to ask about letting greys stay there. Last year the response was No, the dog has to be smaller then a roll of stamps to stay here. Not really, but geesh hotels a 10lb weight limit??? Yes one did tell me 10lbs. And one said Pet Friendly and what they meant was Service Dogs. I said, hmm that is federal law that is not PET FRIENDLY.

​There is a Red Roof and a La Quinta in Pigeon Forge. They are about 9 miles away. Info is on the website, Someone also said the Timber Lodge in Pigeon Forge is pet friendly.

https://gfncmountainhounds.com/event/accommodations/

 

We do have someone staying at an Air BnB. This one was available last time I checked

The website also lists two cabin rental places. Several people have stayed at cabins and enjoyed their stay. They have been accommodating with a large qty of greys instead of their normal 2 pet max.

There's a Motel 6 in Gatlinburg, they are usually extremely pet friendly. Some reviews have not been good, however.

We got in the SJ on a cancellation! Look for us- I want to meet everybody! This is the first greyhound event for my new boy Octane. He is a ~70# cow doggy and will be with his little sidekick Search & Rescue/Recovery dog Reba.17Dec2017_7_aarr5z.jpg

I got reservations at the Country Inn, figured this and BBH are going to be my only not-visits-to-Mom this year, I can splurge a little. BUT--if any lady is coming without a hound, or has one that is okay with being muzzled, send me a PM and maybe we can split.
