Centering the multi-story space is a lofty stacked-stone gas fireplace with dual sides leading into the primary suite, great for cocoa sips, intimate conversations, and cozier moments together.
For added entertainment, switch on the TV and pop in a DVD to enjoy with the whole family. Plush sofas and an armchair with ottoman invite everyone to hang out and rest in each other’s company.
Kitchen
Whip up homemade meals, reheat leftovers from top Gatlinburg restaurants, and bake sweet treats in the fully equipped kitchen at your vacation home in the Smokies. Stone counters, standard appliances, and all the prep and cooking tools needed are provided. Natural light and wooded surroundings peer through the windows to create a more inviting atmosphere for the chef in your group.
Bonus: there’s a separate drinks station with a Keurig for single cups, a standard drip coffeemaker for pots of joe, and a blender for smoothies.
Dining Area
Nestled in the kitchen is the dining area at your vacation rental that seats everyone in your group with 4 chairs and a matching bench. It’s convenient for grabbing seconds and dessert within a few steps. You can clear the table for board games or cards. And you can use this space to check emails, write in your journal, or plan the next day’s activities with ease.
Rec Room

Bedrooms
Follow the dual-sided gas fireplace to the other side where the primary suite at this 2-bedroom cabin in Gatlinburg beckons relaxation on your Smoky Mountain vacation. Pour bubble bath or soothing salts into the hot bath before slipping in to unwind with massaging water jets. Switch on the TV to add entertainment to the experience or press play on your favorite podcast or lofi playlist for a spell.
Afterward, curl up in the king-size log bed next to your partner for cuddles before drifting to dreamland. There’s also an en-suite bathroom with a shower/tub combo. Additional guests can spread out to the living room on the sleeper sofa or to the second bedroom with a queen-size log bed, another TV, and a cozy sitting nook with an armchair, ottoman, and floor lamp, perfect for late-night reads.

Outdoor Spaces
Between ziplining at Anakeesta, zooming on mountain coasters, and winning mini-golf, keep the great outdoor fun going at your Smoky Mountain cabin rental. Sway in the rocking chairs on the front porch while taking in the wooded surroundings. On the back deck, toss steaks or veggies on the gas grill and dine outside with the whole family. Best of all, slip into the steamy hot tub while taking in the treetop and seasonal mountain vistas.
