Scan a few home rental options, and you’ll quickly understand the appeal and value of staying in your carefully selected vacation rental. How about a three-level luxury log cabin with spectacular views, cathedral ceilings, Jacuzzi, pool table and wood burning fireplace? Or a contemporary log cottage with lakeside deck, cozy fireplace, hot tub and rocking chairs for a romantic honeymoon vacation rental! Finally, for large groups, consider a luxury cabin rental that hosts up to 26! Gather your in-laws, outlaws and every other family member for an unforgettable retreat with huge kitchen, screen porch, hot tub decks and incredible game rooms.

At the virtual doorstep of the always popular Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Gatlinburg has become a four-season mountain resort destination, with hundreds of condo, cabin and chalet rentals and more to see and do than you could possibly imagine. Natural attractions rank highest with hiking, ranger programs, scenic views and soaring waterfalls. Created in the mid 1920’s, the park’s scenery and natural resources provide peaceful vacation enjoyment in a protected environment. Add full-blown tourist attractions to mountain lore and crafts, and your vacation will delight every age and interest. Sprinkled among candy kitchens and Ripley’s and other attractions, mountain artists offer one-of-a-kind creations from rustic furnishings and colorful quilts to handsome pottery and Native American art. Spread along the Downtown Parkway, restaurants shops and entertainment venues cover every taste. Gazebos and benches line the banks of the Little Pigeon River for pleasant walks and lazy picnics. And high above the mountain town, the ever-changing Ober Gatlinburg delivers a “mountain top of fun” with aerial tramway, chairlift, carousel, 8 winter ski trails and Alpine slides. It’s doubtful you will exhaust all of the adventures available in and around Gatlinburg, but some choose to visit nearby Sevierville, home to Dollywood and outlet shopping.

Hotel room stays and constant restaurant meals can break the bank of any family. Your spacious chalet or cabin rental offers plenty of room, spectacular views and the ability to mix home-cooked meals with restaurant dining. You’ll find national chain restaurants, quaint inn-style dining and great Tennessee ‘down home’ cooking among the many local dining options.
