In the mornings, brew some coffee and make a delicious breakfast in your Smoky Mountain cabin’s fully equipped kitchen.

Keep the group entertained in the awesome game room at your Gatlinburg cabin rental — outfitted with a pool table, a checkers table, luxe leather seating, an arcade console, a huge TV, and space to play and hang out. On the decks, toss some steaks on the gas grill, enjoy peaceful wooded views, or climb into the soothing hot tub to unwind.

Living Room
Between hiking trails to waterfalls, shopping in the crafts community, or horseback riding in the Smokies, retreat to the living room at your log cabin in Gatlinburg. Tall picture windows frame the flowing trees outside and let in plenty of natural light during the day. A stacked stone, gas fireplace makes the space cozier in winter months. And for added entertainment, there’s a TV to enjoy from the plump sofas. Place your coffee and treats on the coffee table and curl up for a friendly chat with your partner or simply soak in the tree-studded scenery in peaceful quiet.

With scenic wooded views and 2 covered decks, you’ll be whistling your way to a world of relaxation in no time.

Slip into the hot tub and turn on the massaging water jets for a while or crack open that book you’ve been meaning to read while swaying in a rocker. Enjoy coffee, tea, or lemonade sips at the outdoor table while your next meal cooks on the gas grill. And enjoy the fresh mountain air every day!
