Sevierville is a city on the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains and straddles the Little Pigeon River. The city’s location near national parks and nature reserves makes it an ideal home base for adventure seekers. Sevierville also boasts world-class theme parks and downtown landmarks commemorating Dolly Parton, the famous singer. If you’re a fan of country music, then you would know that Parton calls Sevierville her hometown. This Tennessee destination still has more to offer, such as an exhilarating helicopter tour arranged by one of the many tour agencies in the city. If checking out historic aircraft is on your bucket list, then head over to the Tennessee Museum of Aviation. These experiences and Appalachian scenery await every traveler, and they can be enjoyed to the fullest when you stay by the lakeside. Check out the top lakefront cabins near Sevierville, Tennessee, for great stays.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and access to a lake.

2. Log cabin near kayak and boat rentals (from USD 246)

This modern cabin surrounded by the woods is the perfect retreat for eight guests. The three-bedroom rental has central air conditioning, three bathrooms, a high chair, and a well-provisioned kitchen. You can stay in the secluded cabin by the lake and still watch your favorite shows as the TV has a Netflix subscription. However, it is likely that the exceptional views of the forest will keep your thoughts away from online streaming.

The lake is best viewed from the deck, but if you’d rather fish in it, then bring your fishing tackle and look forward to catching crappies and bass from the lake. Local outfitters rent out kayaks, boats, and paddleboards nearby, offering convenience to guests who want to go boating.
