Living Room
Sit around the living room at your Smoky Mountain cabin rental after exploring the spooky Mysterious Mansion, scenic Cades Cove, or bustling Ober Gatlinburg. Chat about your memorable time together and enjoy the peace and serenity of the Smokies in front of the crackling gas fireplace in fall or winter. For more entertainment, switch on the big screen TV and watch a movie with bowls of popcorn and Appalachian fudge bites. To relax, hop on the full-body massage chair or curl up on the sofas.
Kitchen
What’s included in the fully equipped kitchen at your Gatlinburg rental cabin? Everything you need for meal, snack, and beverage prep! This open-concept space features a wall of cooking tools to help. Appliances include a refrigerator, electric range, microwave, dishwasher, and standard drip and Keurig coffeemakers. You’ll also have a double sink with a window overlooking the trees, pots and pans, dishes, utensils, glasses, mugs, and more.
Dining Area
Recount the wonderous mountain views spotted from the top of the Space Needle in Gatlinburg while enjoying a meal with family or friends at your Gatlinburg cabin’s dining table. This space connects the living area and full kitchen, completing the open concept. Between mealtimes, clear the table for board games, cards, crafts, puzzles, or laptop time as needed.
Bedrooms
Dancing at Ole Red Gatlinburg — within walking distance — finding hidden waterfalls, or perusing downtown shops will leave you ready for a good night’s sleep. At your 2-bedroom cabin in Gatlinburg, the entire upstairs is the suite level. Each bedroom offers a king-size bed, flatscreen TV, ceiling fan, walk-in closet, deck access, and a full attached bathroom.
In the primary suite, you’ll have a walk-in shower and a garden tub for bubble baths with your favorite podcast or Lofi playlist. In the second suite, there’s a shower/tub combo. Your Smoky Mountain hideaway also has a convenient half bathroom on the entry level and a full-size sleeper sofa in the living room.
Outdoor Spaces
Between hiking Smoky Mountain trails, ziplining through the treetops, or whitewater rafting the Little Pigeon River, retreat to your own outdoor spaces at Gateway to Gatlinburg. Slip into the bubbling hot tub (with a hard cover) on the front porch morning, noon, or night! Unwind with a good book in the rocking chairs on the 2 covered decks anytime. And take in the relaxing wooded views every day.
Your semi-private Gatlinburg cabin rental also has a charcoal, picnic-style grill for barbecues, flat and paved roads to reach the property easily, and paved parking for 3 on a shared driveway.
