Picture it: you’ve just pulled into the driveway of your Hapey cabin after five hours in the car. The dog needs water. The toddler needs something to do immediately. You have seventeen bags to unload, and you’re already trying to remember if you remembered the pack-n-play.
Or (same cabin, different scenario) you pull in and it’s already handled. Crate set up for the dog. Toy box waiting in the living room. Clean gear, sized right, delivered before you arrived.
That second version is exactly why BabyQuip developed their concept and why Independent Quality Provider, Kelly Inglett, saw the local need for the services here in The Smokies. As one of our Decade of Hapey giveaway sponsors, Kelly is contributing a rental package that could transform the first hour of your next Smokies trip from chaos into the start of an actual vacation.
She Saw the Problem Before She Solved It
When travel reopened after COVID, the Smoky Mountains flooded with families. Half the country lives within a day’s drive of the Smokies, and in 2020 and 2021, it felt like all of them showed up at once.
Kelly was working retail at the time, and she watched it happen up close. Families arriving exhausted after long drives, cars packed to capacity with strollers, cribs, portable high chairs, and every piece of gear they thought they’d need to make a rental cabin feel livable. They were doing it right (they were planning ahead) but the burden of hauling all of it was eating into the trip before it even started.
She saw a problem that needed solving. So she solved it.
Kelly launched her BabyQuip service in 2020 as an Independent Quality Provider, delivering clean, safe, fully insured baby gear directly to Smoky Mountain vacation cabins so families could arrive light and settle in fast. What started with cribs and strollers has grown, six seasons later, into a full-service gear rental operation that has helped more than 2,700 families start their vacations the right way.
✦ Six Seasons Strong: 2,700+ families served. Clean, insured gear. Delivered to your door. That’s not a side hustle, that’s a service that fills a real gap, built by someone who genuinely cares how your trip starts.
BabyQuip’s Celebrating a Decade, too!
BabyQuip just so happens to be celebrating a decade of business with Hapey Cabin Rentals, too. Ten years of providing high-quality baby gear to hundreds of thousands of customers in locations across the country. Here’s just a few amazing statistics about this great company:
- Serving 5,000+ Destinations
- 425,000 Orders Fulfilled
- Over 3,000+ Quality Providers
- 99% Five-Star Review Rating
- Exclusive partnership with VRBO
What Kelly Delivers — Literally
Kelly and her husband Wendell serve Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, and the surrounding area, delivering gear between 8 AM and 8 PM. Here’s the current lineup:
- Baby gear: Cribs, strollers, high chairs, and everything else that makes a cabin feel ready for a family with young children
- Pet gear: Crates, bowls, and essentials for guests traveling with dogs or other pets; an especially natural fit for Hapey cabins
- Outdoor gear: Items to help families make the most of the mountains
- Mobility equipment (launching soon): Wheelchairs, walkers, shower benches, and knee scooters; expanding access for guests with mobility needs or multi-generational groups traveling with older family members
Every item is backed by A-rated insurance and goes through a rigorous cleaning and inspection process before delivery. Kelly’s standard for what goes into a guest’s cabin is the same standard she’d apply to her own family; and after 2,700+ deliveries, that reputation means something.
🐾 A Perfect Fit for Hapey Guests: Hapey’s Pet Paradise Promise means your dog is already welcome; zero pet fees, no breed restrictions, fenced yards at select properties. Kelly’s pet gear rentals mean your dog’s crate and bowls are already waiting when you arrive. That’s one less thing in the car and one more reason to bring them along.

Kelly in Her Own Words
Kelly has been featured twice for her work as a BabyQuip Quality Provider:
- The Grand Life Podcast: Kelly spoke with grandparents about how baby gear rentals make it easier to host grandchildren on vacation.
- BabyQuip Facebook Live: Kelly discussed her role and approach as a Quality Provider directly with the BabyQuip community
Kelly’s Hidden Gem: Spruce Flat Falls
When we asked Kelly for her favorite insider tip for Smokies visitors, she pointed us to Spruce Flat Falls in the Tremont area of Great Smoky Mountains National Park; and she specifically called out what makes it special: it’s one of the least busy trails in the park.
Image: Spruce Flat Flats Falls by Kimberly Weber via gsmit.org
The falls are accessible via a relatively easy hike, making it a great option for families with kids or guests who want the payoff of a beautiful waterfall without fighting crowds. Kelly’s recommendation is particularly well-timed for hot summer days, when the shaded trail and cool water at the base are exactly what you need after a morning in the sun.
→ The Full Morning Blueprint: Pack light for the trail — your gear is already at the cabin, thanks to Kelly — hike to Spruce Flat Falls in the morning while the crowds are still sleeping in, then come back to the hot tub for the afternoon. That’s a Smokies day worth repeating.
