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, but we try 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 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
including the checkbook. Her busy life revolves around her three
children and their spouses, (John and Nicole McAllister, Jillian
and Tracy Cheek, and Sherry and Jason Stoner), SEVEN very active
grandchildren (soon to be EIGHT in September 2008), and her work
at Hearthside. Janice primarily deals with the marketing,
financial planning and long-range growths 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 on the phones, 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. |
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 this 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. |

Sandy Lowe, Owner Liason
Sandy is known as "The Enforcer" around the office because of her straightfoward,
no-nonsense approach to work. When it comes to family and friends,
she's nothing but fun. She has two great kids, Gabrielle and Schyler,
and three
step-sons with
her cuddly husband Scott. Sandy serves as our in-house accountant,
and deals with the owner's statements, work orders, and needs of our
cabins and/or owners. |

Brandi Blevins, Reservations
Brandi is a very creative force in our office. She works very hard
to match our guests up with exactly what they are looking for. Brandi
knows the cabins well. She is also very diligent in working with
weddings, honeymooners and family reunion groups. Brandi is an "OLD"
married lady now -- she will celebrate her one-year wedding anniversary
in September 2007. She is great on the phones
and is a definite asset to our little family. Brandi and her husband
Duke Blevins have two great kids, Christian and Cameron, who are
very sports-oriented and keep them on the go constantly. |

Nicole McAllister, Reservations
Nicole decided she needed a little "adult time" after being a mostly stay-at-home
mom to her two energetic boys, Kale and John Ayden for about three
years. (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, Reservations
Connie has been with HearthSide since we first opened in various
capacities. She joined us full-time in the office as a Reservationist
about June 1, 2007, and her 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! Maintenance personnel are John McAllister, Darrin Gilbert, and Greg
Poe
Our housekeeping staff consists of two teams. The first team,
Ann Killam and Renee Cole, own and manage Mountain Cleaning Services.
The second team, Greg and Tammy Poe, own
Poe Cabin Services
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 Uncle (Darrin)
also work here. Sandy is a single-mom and extra busy with our owners.
Connie has been with us forever but has just joined the office
staff. Gina says she, Sandy, Scott 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 a family!!!
