Private vacation rentals in Gatlinburg

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
Exactly as described! Private road with peaceful mornings for porch coffee. Just the right size for 2 or 3. Excellent view for hot tub relaxation at night and so close to all the attractions!! Shower stalls can be a bit tight for larger people but the bathrooms were spacious and clean!

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
It was real lovely, the cabin matched the pictures. We roasted some hot dogs on the fire pit, and relaxed in the hot tub for a bit. They were very responsive and were there for anything we needed. It was the cleanest rental I’ve stayed at honestly don’t think we couldn’t have asked for anything more. The view from the hot tub and balcony is perfect and made for some good photos.

April 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
We loved our stay at the cabin. The place was beautiful and the scenery amazing. We had so much fun playing pool and table games they have. Also one of my favorite was the movie theater where we gather every night. Waking up and having coffee from the balcony while enjoying the view of the mountains is magical. Beds where so comfortable and ambient was so cozy we felt home. Travis was an amazing host and very responsive, he was always available for any questions or concerns. I recommend this wonderful place to anyone that is looking into having the most amazing relaxing experience.We had the most perfect relaxing stay ever!

New Modern Cabin / Mountain View / Ideal Location
We loved our stay at Taylor's place! It was our first time exploring the area and I can't say enough about how great the location is. The location is perfectly situated between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge making it a quick trip to either location. The house was very private, and had a great view. We enjoyed the hot tub and sitting on the porch with our coffee in the morning. While we didn't see a bear or any other wildlife right at the house, we did see a mama bear and her 4 cubs walking along the road that we had to drive on to turn up the mountain to get to the house. We would definitely stay here again.

Momma Bear Cabin w/ secluded site
Not a bad deal for the price. Cabin is not insulated and get's cold at night. I'd recommend a few blankets or sleeping bag in the colder months which I believe she recommended. You need to meet with the owner at check in where she goes over rules etc. She also drove by to caution us about the campfire in the presence of winds. Overall, I felt the property was well worth the price.

Mountain Cabin Home
Cindy’s cabin was a little slice of heaven. We stayed the week between Christmas and New Year’s and had such a relaxing time. Even though the town itself was very busy we felt peaceful and cozy in the cabin. The place was decorated so beautifully for Christmas and we felt right at home. I would not hesitate to stay here again. The location is perfect for families who want to go to all the attractions in the area because most of them are one or 2 miles away at the most. We can’t wait to stay again soon.

Awesome Game Room, Hot Tub, SuperClose 2dwtn Gburg
The location of this cabin was perfect! Michelle & Jason were easy to contact and they responded immediately. They provided easy instructions to check in and check out. The cabin had plenty of space. I highly recommended their cabin!

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!

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.

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.
