The Smoky Mountains in the winter offer breathtaking scenery and unbelievably beautiful views, but these aren’t the only reasons why our cabin rentals in Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg are the perfect place to stay during a winter vacation. Our properties are affordable, conveniently located near popular Smoky Mountain attractions, equipped with the best indoor entertainment, and so much more. Here are 3 reasons why our cabins in the Smokies are the perfect place for a winter vacation:

1. Close to Popular Attractions

One of the things that makes our cabin rentals in the Smokies ideal for your family’s mountain vacation is that they are conveniently located close to all the most popular indoor attractions, restaurants, and outdoor activities.

Best Winter Attractions:

  • Great Smoky Mountains National Park: Some roads like the Roaring Fork Motor Trail are closed during the winter, but weather permitting, Cades Cove Loop Road is a beautiful area to explore!
  • Ober Mountain: Skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, and more; there are so many family-friendly winter activities at Ober Mountain in Gatlinburg!

Best Indoor Attractions:

  • Pigeon Forge Snow: Did you know you can go snow tubing indoors? That’s right; enjoy the fun of playing in the snow, without having to bundle up!
  • Dinner Shows: Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Feud is a great choice; known as the longest-running feud in history, watch as these two families work to put their differences aside. The evening is filled with hilarious comedy, shocking feats of strength, lots of amazing stunts, and, of course, a delicious country feast!

2. Affordable, Even After the Holidays

Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, but it’s arguably the most expensive! It can be hard to imagine having enough spare cash to be able to afford a Smoky Mountain winter vacation. But our cabins are amazingly affordable all year long, even after the holidays have come and gone!

Not only are our cabin rates lower during the winter, but we also provide year-round cabin deals, including free nights. Be sure to check out our Smoky Mountain cabin specials before you book your trip so that you always get the best bang for your buck!

3. Lots of Indoor Entertainment

Another reason families love staying at our Smoky Mountain winter cabins? The built-in entertainment, guaranteed to keep everyone having fun and making memories the entire length of your stay, without ever needing to leave the cabin!

When it’s cold outside, and you don’t feel like battling the freezing temperatures to explore the Smokies, just plan to spend a day taking advantage of all the in-cabin amenities, like the home theater, game room, or private indoor pool. You can also enjoy a hot tub, cozy evenings by the fireplace, and a s’mores-making session around the outdoor fire pit! All in all, the amenities that you’ll find in our cabins just can’t be beat!
