The Smokies, as the Great Smoky Mountains are more commonly known, are a subrange of the Appalachian Mountains, a part of the Blue Ridge Physiographic Province. Deriving its name from the natural fog that hangs over this range, this range is also home to a large population of black bears and salamanders. With various peaks forming a part of the Smokies, this is a popular destination for trekkers and nature lovers alike as there are plenty of activities to enjoy here, from waterfall hikes to helicopter tours. One of the most beautiful national parks in the US, the Smokies can be best enjoyed while taking up accommodation in cabins with hot tubs or secluded cabin rentals. Here are some of the best secluded cabins near the Great Smoky Mountains, USA.
Travel Advisory
- The Fontana Dam is closed to vehicular traffic until March 2024, but pedestrian access is still allowed. Mingus Mill is currently under rehabilitation and is thus temporarily closed to visitors until further updates. Several campgrounds and picnic areas in the region remain open throughout the winter season.
- A few hiking trails and campsites are currently closed due to repairs and the recent wildfire that affected parts of the region. All caves and mine shafts throughout the park remain shuttered until further notice due to the white nose syndrome amongst bats.
Need to know
- The park is allocated with annual funds for every fiscal year, which is why it is one of the few national parks that does not require any entrance fees.

- It was designated as an International Biosphere Reserve in October 1976 and a World Heritage Site in December 1983.

Guest Review:
- "Perfect property for our visit to the Smoky Mountains. We didn’t see much of the touristy stuff but it was great to get out early to hike and get back in time for dinner and a hot tub. The arcade game was also a hit. Very clean space with good stock of pots/pans, dishes and cutlery. A nice gift bag of some basics like dish soap and a sponge." - Rachel F.
2. Luxurious den with a well-furnished deck (from USD 294)
Whether you’re visiting the Smokies with your family or hanging out with your close friends, this cabin assures you’ll have the best amenities in a peaceful location.

The electric fireplace lets you get cosied up while watching TV, and the kitchen is complete with cooking essentials and a breakfast bar.
The wraparound deck is well-furnished, offering you a solid alternative for a scot-free retreat. Take a dip into the hot tub, or rev up the charcoal grill for a memorable cookout. The loft area features not just a queen bed as it also has a pool table and a terrace with a killer view.
Guest Review:
- "We were looking to get away from the densely populated and hot DFW area. We found exactly what we were wanting. Very clean and quiet. The towns are just far enough away to still be convenient. The cabin is perfect. We plan on making this place one of our favorites." - David L.
3. Papa Bear's Den (from USD 633)

As you approach this stunning Vrbo vacation rental near Smoky Mountains National Park, the first thing you’ll notice is the multi-level, wrap-around deck that showcases the misty mountain views in nearly every direction. Even when you’re indoors, you’ll have a glimpse of the view from the large doors and picture windows.
The property caters to utmost relaxation through its hot tub, outdoor fire pit, indoor fireplace, and open-concept living area. Feel free to enjoy the pool table and large TV in the decked-out game room and the Wi-Fi service throughout the home.

Guest Review:
- "The house was great, great amenities and great view. The location was nice but a little farther from town than I realized. Tons of games to play except a lot of stuff had been thrown in the yard by previous guests unfortunately. The grill was nice except for it was out of propane which we had to fix. Overall 9/10 and would recommend to someone wanting to stay in a cabin away from the city for a weekend." - Jackson G.
5. Hideout (from USD 120)
Take a well-deserved time off in Hideout, a rustic log cabin nestled in the foothills of Rich Mountain. You’ll enjoy your unplugging moments on this property as it is surrounded by woods and wildlife.
You can chill out on the front porch’s rocking chair with a cuppa in the morning and cap off the day with a campfire while making s’mores at night. But when you find time and interest to venture out into Great Smoky Mountains National Park and fun destinations nearby, you’ll only have to drive for a few minutes to enjoy the hiking trails, go-kart track, golf course, and town center.
For a convenient indoor stay, Hideout is equipped with WiFi, cable and smart TV, and a wood-burning fireplace. You’ll also be able to cook up your go-to dishes in the well-equipped kitchen.

Guest Review:
- "This was such a beautiful place. Peaceful and perfect for chilling out! Nice short walk through the woods without having to drive anywhere. We saw a female bald eagle (or juvenile) perched in the tree outside our house. So bring binoculars! Also bring a big pot if you plan on cooking pasta. The skillet was fine, but the pot was small. The cabin was very clean, and pillows and bed very comfy. I was afraid there would be mice since it was in the woods, but there were none! Our dog loved getting to come and we appreciated the treats/goody bowl. Oh and at night, the stars are incredible! Over all a 5 star experience!" - Margaret M.
7. The Sequoia (from USD 298)

Inside, you’ll find a cosy bedroom with one queen-size bed, a large spa bathroom, and a living area with a 50-in television and free internet. There’s also a game room, which might interest you if you love to play billiards. When you get hungry, you can prepare meals in the complete kitchen.
When you stay here, don’t waste your chance to do all kinds of fun, outdoorsy activities, such as hiking, bird watching, fishing, and many more.

8. Beautifully decorated cabin perfect for romantic getaways (from USD 269)
If you’re planning a romantic weekend getaway near the Great Smoky Mountains, then this secluded cabin is the one for you. This is because this rental features several romantic amenities. The bedroom features a luxurious king-size bed with 610-thread-count sheets and designer quilt comforters, and on the private covered deck, you can find a heart-shaped hot tub. From the patio, you’ll also get a stunning panoramic view of the mountains — what a lovely scenery to have when you’re relaxing outside.
Aside from all these amenities, you’ll find a kitchen with granite countertops and high-end appliances. In the living room, there’s a stone fireplace, high-speed internet, and a smart television with 4K resolution.

Guest Review:
- "If I had a complaint it would be the condition of the last mile of road coming up Ford Harrison Rd is kinda rough and if you are not careful you will drag. Besides that the cabin was amazing with in my opinion the best views of the mountain very private cannot be seen from other locations and far enough away you don’t hear them much." - Dylan P.
9. Rustic cabin with modern amenities (from USD 168)
Lovingly referred to as Knight of My Dreams, this rustic cabin in the Smoky Mountains perfectly combines rustic charm with modern amenities. You may be located in the middle of nowhere, but inside, you can find high-end appliances that will make your stay pleasant.
The kitchen is wonderfully equipped, so you can prepare delicious meals. You can have a romantic movie night in the living room, where there’s a reclining love seat with drink holders, a gas fireplace, and a 50-in television.
In the bedroom, you can lean back on the memory foam pillow-top mattress, and right next to the bed is a jetted hot tub. Soak in the hot waters as you enjoy each other’s presence and admire the mountain views outside. You can also choose to lounge on the porch swing — especially at night when the air is cool and stars dot the sky.
