Plus, the location of this chalet will also give you beautiful views of the surrounding mountains.
And as the sun sets, you can end your day by unraveling in front of the TV with your dog snuggled up on your lap or perhaps have a glass of good wine on the balcony while soaking in the cool night air.
Enticed? Well, go book your stay then!

15. Cabin near Great Smoky Mountain National Park (from USD 117)
Part of the rural mountain charm are gravel roads. So you might be thinking twice about bringing your motorcycle to this part of the city. But no need to hesitate. This cabin that’s just 5 minutes away from “Deep Creek” has pavements that are motorcycle-friendly.
Other cabin facilities include a fire pit fireplace, charcoal grill and even a property playground. You can get the fire going and savor some of those melted marshmallows, or have a BBQ night with hamburg steak and sausages. I can imagine that your dog will be extra happy too. And if you’re traveling with young kids, the playground will certainly provide them sufficient entertainment (so they don’t bother you too much while you’re barbecuing).
