Tennessee is home to a rich countryside that has an abundance of mountains and forests. Most notably, however, the landlocked state houses the most visited mountain range in the entire country - the Great Smoky Mountains. Rising along the border of Tennessee and North Carolina, the mountain range is most known for its lush flowers, vibrant autumn leaves and majestic waterfalls. The area is also popular for its blue-tinted mist that surrounds the mountain peaks and valleys that often gets mistaken for smoke, giving the mountains its iconic name. A frequent location for family and nature getaways, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is littered with cabins and homes that are open to travellers from all across the country and around the globe. Without further ado, here are the top Airbnb vacation rentals near Great Smoky Mountains, United States.
