About Renee & Val Morel

Val & Renee' Morel

In case you are wondering who we are, here are a few
"fast" facts:

Val & I both grew up in the Deep South in the New Orleans metro area ... Val in St Bernard Parish and me (Renee') on the west bank of the Mississippi, in Jefferson Parish.
Following the events of Hurricane Katrina Aug 29,2005, when we lost our house on Lake Pontchartrain and much loved boat "Bayou Traveller", we moved to the sleepy little beach town of Milton, Florida... just east of Pensacola. This wonderful waterfront community offers us a quick commute to New Orleans where I work as a residential real estate agent.
Both Val and I LOVE vacations, boating, reading and the mountains.
In April 1998, Val made me the happiest woman in the world... he "surprised" me with a wedding (our own) in Gatlinburg, TN at "Chapel in the Glenn". Although we lost our wedding photos in Hurricane Katrina, our memories will last a lifetime. We revisit the chapel on most of our trips to Gatlinburg.
We love to vacation in Gatlinburg, TN. Our enjoyment of that resort town lead us to purchase vacation cabins there.
We currently have three vacation homes to share with you in Gatlinburg, TN: "Halfway to Heaven" with 5 Bedrooms and 4 Baths; "The Family Place" with 4 bedrooms and 3 baths; and "Mt LeConte Vista" our 4 Bedroom, 2.5 Bath chalet that offers breathtaking views and upscale decor. All 3 chalets are located in Chalet Village in Gatlinburg, TN.

We have already completed major renovations of "Mount LeConte Vista" and "Halfway To Heaven". The chalets are FABULOUS and offer everything you could want on a vacation. "The Family Place" is our newest rental. We consider this our "economy" cabin, but it still offers great accommodations at a GREAT price!
We have a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo on the water in Slidell, LA. It has a sofa-sleeper so it can sleep up to 6 people. It is only about a 20 - 25 minute drive to downtown New Orleans so it has a great location and great views!
We have "The Mandeville House". It is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath single family home in a very nice, upscale subdivision of Mandeville, LA. Mandeville is located across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans and is about a 45 - 50 minute drive to downtown New Orleans or Baton Rouge.
In uptown New Orleans we have "The Dryades House" and "The Dryades Suite". The House features 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a den with queen-size sofa-sleeper, a full kitchen with dining area, and a full-size washer & Dryer. The Suite features 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, and a den with a futon-sleeper. The Suite also has a small refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker.
We invite you to spend your Gatlinburg, TN, or New Orleans area vacations with us. We promise to make every effort to ensure your accommodations feel like "Your Own Vacation Home-Away-From-Home".

Best Regards ~
