About Deanie Gunder

We are Ray and Deanie, our primary home is in Lakeland Fl where our children and family. We are highschool sweethearts who have bee very blessed and fortunate in our lives. Our 2 children, Travis and Jodi, gave us 4 beautiful amazing grandchildren. We owe Gunder's Auto Center, a collision repair shop, in Lakeland with our 2 children.

Deanie Gunder purchased this cabin in 2009
Why Deanie Gunder chose Franklin

We built his home, actually I was the GC, and built this 2nd dream home in 2009. We bought the property as one parcel, and decided to put in the roads and few lots. I love the vacation rental business, and hoping to give our children a place in the mountains after we are gone, we are hanging on to our beautiful river and mountain log homes. We love the mountains!!!! I love this home!!!! It was built with lots of love and passion, designed and decorated with the same, and I hope you too will fall in love with our home and our beloved Smokey Mountains...

Wonderful Time In The Gunder's Home

Wonderful Time In The Gunder's Home
Submitted: March 19, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
Man o Man….yes, we had a wondereful time. We went to the mine on 28, 3 times and went to another mine… out of town. We went to Fatz twice, Dillards, and Fat Buddys. Didn’t do much cookin at home. We also took the trip up to Highland City and saw all the beautiful waterfalls. We also went to the Whistle Stop Antique Mall twice, Thank you and Deanie so much, for being so kind to us. We had a blast, and it is a sad moment when we have to leave. We sat in front of the fireplace and kept warm, loved it. That big ole log house is well insulated.. I really like Clennie, he came by when we were doing some shooting. Thank you again.

Awesome Vacation

5 of 5
Submitted: August 16, 2011 Stayed: July 2011
We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cabin more than words can say! The house is very clean and is stocked with everything you need to feel like you are at your home away from home! The large L-shaped reclining sofa is so comfy....the game room and hot tub kept us occupied much of the time and I was thankful that the owners have satellite TV on the many flat screen TV's....so my kids didn't have to argue over the TV! The only negative I can say is there was no internet, but that wasn't a big deal to us, though it might be for some. We went tubing in the river, visited the Highlands, and the Fun Factory, but mostly we enjoyed doing absolutely nothing at this beautiful house! The owner is very nice and easy to work with. I would recommend this house to anyone....you won't be sorry. The pictures don't do it justice....the house is absolutely beautiful!

Vacation Retreat

This home was absolutely beautiful. I don't think the description did it justice. The owner and caretaker were kind and friendly in all of our interactions. I visited this home with my family which included 3 children (7,11 and 15) and elderly father in law, in addition to my fiance. It was peaceful and calm. There are three houses lower on the hill and at night you can hear talking if they are outside, but it is not bothersome. Although the pond was smaller than expected, the kids enjoyed fishing, as well as playing air hockey. We brought food with us and grilled on the patio every night. In the morning we went for walks and picked wild blackberries. The kids fell in love with the two mountain dogs, who were just as sweet as can be. The town is a little far and we only went into town to pick up addiitonal groceries, so I can't speak to nearby attractions. That being said we had planned on going to the nearby mines, but were so content being around the house that we never made it! Since our stay was meant to be a break from the city, the isolation was perfect. We loved staying here and were sad to leave. It is an excellent, relaxing, family get away home. I would definitely recommend it to family and friends.
