Luxury Villa! A+Location! Gameroom Hot tub Firepit
House was perfect for our needs and was close to everything in the Pigeon Forge area. Driveway was a little challenging for our lowered cars but the house was beautiful and the location worked out great!

Beauty 9 miles to Dollywood
Girls trip to the mountains for my birthday! Had an amazing time at the cabin - well decorated, clean, easy check in, wonderful views and the hot tub was perfect! They have a red book in the cabin that lists fun things to do nearby - Cades Cove Scenic loop in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park was beautiful and feeding the highland cows at Cedar Pond Farms was the highlight of our trip - we highly recommend both!

No Mountain Roads! Pigeon Forge Amazing Location!
Had an amazing time here, very cute cabin, comfortable beds, great location tons of fun things to do right around the cabin! We will definitely be going back!!

Sunset: New One of Kind in the Best Location.
House was beautiful and less than 10 minutes from both downtown Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The hosts were great to work with and everything went smoothly. In total we saw five bears in four days. On our last night four of them were playing in the back yard. Very cool experience to see! I highly recommend this cabin and location.

Private Cabin w/Mountain view/Hot tub/pet-friendly
Had a wonderful visit. The place was beautiful and very clean! The kids loved the hot tub. The location was amazing very close to everything.

May Special!~Hot Tub~Fire Pit Table~Pool Table
We enjoyed our stay so much. Our family of five fit comfortably in this beautiful cabin. The hosts were very responsive. We booked last minute and everything went smoothly from arrival to departure. The cabin was so clean and pretty. Big, fun was had by us all. A well stocked kitchen allowed us to cook and stay at the cabin instead of having to eat so many meals out. We hope to stay again sometime!

Secluded Cabin w/Mtn. Views, 3 Decks & Theater
Great time! This house had great views, hot tub was on the smaller side but enjoyable. Pool table was fun just a little close to the wall of windows but my kids and husband still enjoyed playing. My son loved sleeping in the theater with pull out couch! Could use a new toaster. Overall, definitely recommended for a family of 4-6.

The Seclusion ❤️ Romantic & Private Cabin w/ STUNNING views!
The views in the morning and evening were GORGEOUS!
Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Gatlinburg

Pet Friendly near Gatlinburg
We had a wonderful stay! We were in the area as my daughter’s team was playing at the Ripken baseball fields. The house is a great cabin to stay away from the hustle of the parkway but close enough to enjoy the area

Family/Pet Friendly Cabin
I can’t thank Alison and Jason enough for being the best host and providing our family with an ideal place to stay minutes from the parkway and also not a far drive from the scenic Cades cove! Alison and Jason provided so many details on other things to do and places to eat/visit while in town and we couldn’t be happier with them and their beautiful cabin!

Cozy cottage 5 acres with mountain views and pond
Felt very comfortable and welcoming, the space was very clean. We had a great time

3 Bedroom House Near Pigeon Forge !
Jeremy and Janie were super responsive from the very start, even while we were just planning our trip. Any questions we had were quickly answered, which made everything so easy. Their place was clean, simple, and beautiful, exactly what we needed. They’ve been some of the best hosts we’ve had, and we’d definitely stay here again on our next trip to Tennessee. Also, no pet fee, which was such a great bonus! Thanks again, Jeremy and Janie! 🙂

Epic Cabin Getaway:Hot Tub, Movies & Games Galore!
This was our second time staying here, and we came back because we loved it so much the first time! The cabin is amazing, the views can't be beat, and Kim is wonderful to work with. We will be back next year!

Relaxing Eagles Ridge Getaway | Hot Tub
Host was very good at communicating and everything was as pictured or better (a pic of the loft where the pool table is located had an older style tv, but on arrival all the tv’s were flat screen smart tv’s-three in total-bedroom/living room/loft). They had everything you could possibly need including fans, for those who can’t sleep at night without a fan. Literally a few minutes from the main strip in Pigeon Forge, yet felt like you were really in a more remote location. Cabin was great, hot tub and pool table were awesome amenities and made the stay so much better. The community of cabins where this is located was quiet and safe, and provided a nice place to get a good workout in the evenings if you like to walk like we do. We stayed a week and everything you’d like to do is so close! Gatlinburg is not very far either. The bed was VERY comfortable to us, which is unusual because we have a sleep number bed at home. Looking forward to returning and would definitely book again.

Beautiful Home!! We came to Sevierville for our wedding and Iryna’s place was the perfect peaceful location for us to spend time together and with our family!!

Hot Tub* 9 Miles to Great Smoky Mtn National Park
We love this little cabin! This was our 2nd year staying here. Perfect for our 2 young boys on the pull out, and a nice bed for mom and dad! Beautiful cabin, and surroundings. Big bonus being pet friendly! Mike was wonderful and responsive. Will be back again.

Cozy Smoky Mountain Tiny House with Hot Tub!
Initially, we were apprehensive about staying in a tiny home, but it exceeded our expectations with its spaciousness! The residence was ideal for our family of five. The property was modern, immaculate, and comfortable. The hot tub was our favorite feature! The location is conveniently situated near the strip, where numerous attractions await. We had a fantastic trip!

TIMBER RIDGE LODGE Airbnb number 20074293
It was a beautiful cabin decorated for Christmas. We stay the week of Christmas 2024 and their was 12 of us, 6 kids and 6 adults. The cabin worked wonderful for us. It was large enough with the upstairs and the basement that each of my family had their own space to relax. The fireplace worked wonderfully, the kids and grandkids enjoyed s'mores over the fire. It was a true pleasure to relax and enjoy family. The weather was also excellent, we could stay out on the back deck and enjoy the views of all the mountains.

Your guide to Gatlinburg
All About Gatlinburg
Nestled on the northern edge of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Gatlinburg is a diminutive mountain town surrounded by natural beauty. It’s within easy reach of more than 900 miles of picturesque hiking trails, leaving outdoorsy types wanting for nothing more — the national park’s thundering Grotto Falls are just minutes away, and the town boasts the only ski resort in the state, Ober Gatlinburg. While many visitors are drawn out of town for the region’s abundant wildlife — look out for the resident black bears and hundreds of bird species — staying put brings its own rewards. The Gatlinburg Sky Lift or an elevator ride to the top of the town’s 407-foot Space Needle provide a bird’s eye view of proceedings along with the scenic Smokies, while local breweries, wineries, and distilleries are tasty pit stops on a leisurely tour of local shops and galleries.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Gatlinburg
The stunning spectacle of changing foliage in the surrounding Great Smoky Mountains National Park makes fall a highly recommended time to stay at cabins for rent in this part of Tennessee. Around 100 species of tree gradually transform the mountainside from mid-October through mid-November, which is also when Gatlinburg’s annual Oktoberfest occurs. If you’re hiking in the park, remember to pack layers for the change in temperature at altitude.
During winter, chilly temperatures are countered by an abundance of holiday cheer, including the local Fantasy of Lights Christmas Parade. Spring is primetime for nature lovers wanting to experience wildflower blooms — follow the six-mile Greenbrier route for kaleidoscopic displays. When summer rolls around, all eyes are on the town’s music festivals, and the annual Fourth of July celebration starts at midnight and runs all day and night, including a River Raft Regatta and an absorbing fireworks display atop the Space Needle.

Gatlinburg Pinball Museum
For retro game geeks, pinball wizards, and those looking for family-friendly fun, the city’s pinball museum is a popular destination. The extensive collection of rare pinball machines and arcade games here — more than 100 options to keep you busy — are available for the playing. This is one of the few museums where visitors are encouraged to flex their gaming muscles.
Ober Gatlinburg
The state’s only ski and snowboard resort is a year round destination that’s also the site of an amusement park with a wide range of high-octane activities to boost your adrenaline. Tubing is a major draw during the winter season, while water rides, a climbing wall, and bumper cars attract visitors once the snow has melted.
