From the stunning scenery to the beautiful design, this cabin rental impressed me with its offerings. Imagine starting each morning enjoying a cup of coffee on the terrace with the love of your life. You can proceed to explore the upgraded kitchen to curate your lover’s favorite meal. In the afternoon, you can stay in for some games of pool or cozy up by the fireplace.

3. Lovely rustic retreat with a game room
Let me tell you about this charming rustic retreat that will make you and your partner feel connected to nature. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by the lush surroundings that are easy on the eyes. Imagine relaxing side-by-side with your lover on the rocking chairs on the deck and admiring the view. As you enter the house, the living space, equipped with a fireplace and a smart TV, will surely excite you—the perfect spot for intimate evenings with your partner.
Besides enjoying being couch potatoes, there are other interesting activities you can do here. Are you feeling competitive? Challenge your other half to a game of pool. If you’re more into slow and steady activities, a relaxing hot tub bath will be the perfect activity to entice your partner with.
Even though this cabin is secluded, you’ll still be close enough to downtown Gatlinburg to be able to easily plan incredible date nights.
4. Twilight Point
With a secluded setting, this vacation rental is perfect for couples who wish to unplug for the holidays. It’ll be like your own little corner of the world! Plus, its pet-friendly policy allows you to bring the beloved third member of your fur family. Apart from the setting and the pet-friendliness, I am also in awe of the property’s add-ons. For instance, you can relax by the fireplace in the living room on cozy nights wrapped in each other’s arms. Looking for something more indulgent? Why not head to the lovely hot tub together with a glass of champagne?
To top them all off, complimentary tickets to Dollywood attractions will be provided as a bonus, so you can enjoy fun outings with your beloved.
5. Lindsey Mill Cabin
Where do I even begin describing this breathtaking secluded cabin located between a stream and a pond? This idyllic retreat boasts overwhelming natural beauty, allowing lovers to wake up and fall asleep to the sound and sight of nature. If you’re both adventurous, head out into the lush surrounding area hand in hand. You might catch a sighting of a bear or two! Or if you’d like to play it safe, grab a rocking chair on the front or back porch and plan your future together.
The century-old cabin invites you not only to stay but also to make memories, offering a pond for catch-and-release fishing during peaceful afternoons with just the two of you. There’s also two-person hot tub that you can dip into while soaking up the creek scenery (and your partner’s beauty!). Inside, thanks to the two wood-burning fireplaces at service, you and your partner will surely enjoy a warm, cozy stay.
6. Freshly renovated condo with a private balcony
What I love about this Airbnb is its recently renovated beauty and central location, which will surely appeal to couples who aim to make the most of their stay. Here, you’ll have a well-appointed kitchen where you can prepare your partner’s favorite meals, and a living room with a fireplace for winding down after a long, satisfying day. The private balcony is perfect for downing some drinks while talking about the day you just had.
During your stay, you and your partner will have access to indoor and outdoor pools, so you can easily relax with a soak. The indoor pool is private, so it’ll be just you two!
7. Unique country condo with board games
As a certified Dolly fan, this unique vacation rental has a special place in my heart. So if you or your boyfriend (or both) are her fans just like me, you’ll love this Dolly-memorabilia-filled Airbnb too. Once done admiring the displays, you can enjoy a round of board games to add some fun to your relationship. There are also records in case you feel like slow dancing with your partner, but you must remember to return them to their original places once you’re done with them.
The bedroom features a soaking tub for an intimate experience. If you’d like a bigger playground, you’ll also have access to an outdoor pool.
8. Stylish downtown condo with a balcony
If you’re on the hunt for a home away from home that can bring you closer to Gatlinburg’s must-see attractions, I suggest considering booking this designer condo in the city’s downtown area. Apart from proximity to restaurants where you can plan special celebrations together, its location will afford you and your partner stunning views of lush greenery.
If you or your partner are lovers of all things unique, you’ll love the designer furniture, which will also add a touch of luxury to your stay. Once you’re done admiring the decor, sink into the comfy sofa by the gas fireplace for a relaxed afternoon with your beloved. The living space also opens onto a balcony, ideal for sunning and soaking up the scenery, which is almost as beautiful as your partner.
I’m also excited to tell you about the hot tub and pool here. Spend hours soaking in the water together and reminiscing the best moments of your relationship. Just remember they’re seasonally available, so be sure to double-check before booking.
9. Tourist-friendly designer condo
One of the main things I love to do during a holiday is explore the area. If this is something you enjoy too, you’ll appreciate this beautiful condo, located steps from shopping and dining destinations. Since Anakeesta is a stone’s throw away from the property, you and your loved one can plan a day filled with gondola rides and ziplining.
Surely, you’ll love coming home to a spa bath, which this property has, after a day of fun physical activities. Afterward, you can chill on the leather sofa or head straight to the brand-new King-size bed for some cuddling. This accommodation also offers a seasonal gas fireplace for added coziness.
10. Pet-friendly river home with a hot tub (from USD 375)
This vacation rental has all the makings of an ideal getaway haven. Here, you stay next to a river. The property even has a little seating area by the water where you can slow down time with the love of your life and fur baby. I also love that the place has a hot tub, so you can still enjoy a dip during cold days. Cuddle up next to your partner in the water for maximum coziness! That’s not all. There’s also a fireplace in the living room, handy during magical snowy getaways.
The retro-chic kitchen will surely entice you and your lover to show off your cooking skills (and take plenty of Instagram photos).
