greytpups Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Sadly, we won't be attending this year...I'll miss seeing a lot of people we've come to know. Jan with precious pups Emmy (Stormin J Flag) and Simon (Nitro Si) and Abbey Field. Missing my angels: Bailey Buffetbobleclair 11/11/98-17/12/09; Ben Task Rapid Wave 5/5/02-2/11/15; Brooke Glo's Destroyer 7/09/06-21/06/16 and Katie Crazykatiebug 12/11/06 -21/08/21. My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukasmom Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racindog Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Octane & I want to go but the Sydney James is booked up full so no rooms available Been networking trying to find a cancellation so we can get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest goofydog2 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 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!

macoduck Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 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.

Walliered Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Where else is there to stay? I read that Sidney James was full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montgomery2524 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Can Galgos come? 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. Anyone stayed elsewhere other than the SJ? My only concern would be where to park for Bingo. 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.

montgomery2524 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 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 https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/13539206?location=Gatlinburg%2C%20TN%2C%20United%20States&s=rOYdfAFz 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.

palmettobug Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 There's a Motel 6 in Gatlinburg, they are usually extremely pet friendly. Some reviews have not been good, however.

palmettobug Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 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. Current Crew: Gino-Gene-Eugene!
