About Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg's best rental company....

HearthSide Cabin Rental company was created as some friends gathered around the warmth of a glowing fire one winter afternoon. "What if we could offer the kind of service that you just don't see in any rental companies any more?" we wondered. "What if we offered decent rates, and kept the company small so neither the homeowners nor the customer get lost in the shuffle?" "What if we treat everyone the way we've always wished we could be treated?" With all these questions we finally got one answer, we would start the best little rental company and run it the way it should be run.

With a focus on compassion, service, and hard work our little effort soon turned into the company you see today, Hearthside Cabin Rentals. We are not the biggest in town (nor do we WANT to be), but we try VERY hard to provide the best service to our guests and owners.

On this page we would like to introduce you to some of the people you might meet when you visit or call us. Some of them you might have already spoken to on the phone, some you might get to meet in person. We just want to make sure that you feel as much a part of our family as possible, so relax, enjoy, and have the best vacation possible.

Janice McAllister, Co-Owner and General Manager
Janice has the fun job of balancing everything and everybody. Her busy life revolves around her three children and their spouses, (John and Nicole McAllister, Jillian and Tracy Cheek, and Sherry Stoner), eight very active grandchildren, and her friends and work at Hearthside. Janice primarily deals with the marketing, financial planning and long-range growth options for the company. She is usually the second contact for homeowners, because most owners first go through our "owner liasion", Sandy Lowe. Ultimately, however, "the buck does stop here" -- she will do whatever it takes to take care of the guests , the company and the owners.
Danny McAllister, Co-Owner and Maintenance Manager
On a busy day you might catch Danny in the office, but mostly he leaves that to all the other professionals. Danny was formerly a cabin builder, specializing in log cabins. When Hearthside got to the point in its growth that it required a full-time maintenance manager, Danny stepped in (after much pleading and begging by the girls in the office). Danny and Janice usually work well together, but when you hear him growl, you might want to give him a little space. Danny has a vendors phone list that is worth its weight in gold (people you can count on and trust), and he will help cabin owners (or guests) with any problems they may have. He is presently working on establishing our golf packages, which involves a lot of "research" into area golf courses .

Gina Mikles, Reservation Supervisor
Gina has been Janice's "right hand" since the inception of HearthSide. She is a busy Mom of four (Trevor, Tanner,Kela and Adam), new grandmother of one, and manages to balance everything with a great sense of humor. We actually call her "Giggles" around the office. As Mama Jean once told someone she was introducing to Gina: "She isn't on drugs -- she is just naturally that way". Gina's strong Christian faith, her bubbly personality and joyous attitude always brighten the day of anyone who comes into contact with her. Gina has been working in the rental industry for over a decade, bringing a strong level of commitment and varied experience to her work.

2009 Hospitality Association Outstanding Manager of the Year

John McAllister, Maintenance and The McAllister Favorite Son
John is the only son of Danny and Janice. He is in charge of the Rocky Branch Community Center. He maintains numerous cabins, yards and firewood as needed. John is a "Jack of all Trades". We depend on John in many aspects to keep this company operating smoothly. Two of John's main jobs here are to keep his Dad out of trouble, and protect Danny and Janice's precious Tennessee grandbabies!
Sandy Lowe, Owner Liason and Accountant
Sandy is known as "The Enforcer" around the office because of her straightfoward, no-nonsense approach to work. But when it comes to family and friends, she's nothing but fun. She has two great kids, Gabrielle and Schyler. Sandy deals with the owner's statements, work orders, accounts payable and any other needs of our cabins and/or owners. She also processes all our sales taxes reports, gross receipts taxes reports, month-end and annual financial reports, payroll and so many more financial details. She wears many "hats" around our officel, but is never to busy to help.

Brandi Blevins, Reservationist and Marketing Assistant
Brandi is a very creative force in our office. She works hard to match our guests up with exactly what they are looking for. Brandi knows the cabins well. Brandi is also very diligent in working with weddings, honeymooners and family reunion groups. She is very professional and is a definite asset to our little family. Brandi and her husband Duke have two great children, Christian and Cameron, who are very sports-oriented and keep them on-the-go constantly. Brandi also coordinates our website and many office projects as needed.

2009 Hospitality Association Employee of the Year

Nicole McAllister, Reservationist
Nicole decided she needed a little "adult time" after being a mostly stay-at-home mom to her three energetic boys, Kale, Ayden and baby Zane. (After all, isn't it fair to let hubby John watch them during the evenings?) Nicole has fit right in with her quirky sense of humor and easy laugh. Nicole is extremely familiar with the cabins and can help you find exactly which one is right for your Tennessee vacation. She KNOWS which ones you can get motorcycle trailers, motor homes or antique cars into without any damage to your vehicles.
Connie Nash, Reservationist
Connie has been with HearthSide since we first opened in various capacities. She joined us full-time in the office as a Reservationist June 1, 2007. Connie's loving, caring personality has made her an inspiration to us all.. Connie has been to about every cabin we represent, so she can really help you identify which one has JUST what you need for the perfect vacation. Connie is a strong family person, too. Her dedication to her family, her doggie, and her desire to please our guests is obvious every day. But watch out if you are a handsome, single man over 45 -- we are looking for her a good husband! Connie is an avid pet-lover and lots of fun, too
Mary Wright - Reservationist
Mary Wright has been here a couple of years now and can help you plan your perfect vacation. She and her husband have a beautiful daughter, Alexis. Be sure to call and say hello to Mary -- she will be sure to get you a great cabin, good tickets and a great price .
Duke Blevins -- Operations Manager & Marketing Director
Duke Blevins was formerly employed by a local competitor as General Manager. When HearthSide management saw the chance to "woo" him over, we jumped at it. Duke has organized and streamlined our Marketing efforts so that we get more exposure (and more EFFECTIVE exposure) for the same money. Duke wears MANY hats around our office. One of his top priorities is trying to keep Danny out of trouble. (He also has to keep Brandi happy!) In all seriousness, Duke is a marketing expert, an inspector when needed, a negotiator if necessary, supervisor of housekeeping and maintenance staffs, and has been an invaluable addition to our busy management team.

Maintenance Personnel

Maintenance personnel are John McAllister, Buddy Dodson and Chuck Hartbarger (effective 9/24/09).

 



Now here's the test to see if you've been keeping track:
Janice and Danny are married, working with son, John, and daughter-in-law, Nicole. Nicole's sister (Brandi), and brother-in-law (Duke) also work here. Sandy stays extra busy with our owners and internal accounting . Connie has been with us forever and says she will still come to work here even if she gets fired (how's that for dedication?). Gina says she, Sandy, Mary and Connie are "extra" special because they've been CHOSEN to be part of the family, but Nicole is quick to point out that so was she (by John). So when we say we are a family...we really MEAN that we are all a big extended family!!!
