5. Brand new one-bedroom cabin with hot tub (from USD 238)

This is another new lovenest in a chain of gorgeously appointed cabins overlooking the Smokies. It’s impossible to choose which cabin is going to fit your bill because they’re all so spectacular. When you step out onto that balcony, it’ll be hard not to stagger backward. And take a look at that porch swing. All that’s missing is a cup of chamomile and a cashmere blanket.

Inside you’ll find another fabulous setup complete with those gorgeous flat-screen TVs and a private sauna. If it’s actually possible to drink up a cup of nature, this is where it’ll happen.

11. God's graceful cabin (from USD 345)

This is interesting. A see-through gas fireplace stands in the center of a spacious living room with a TV perched atop. That sounds like a lovely way to spend an evening. The open design also opens right up into your fully loaded kitchen. The fun doesn’t stop there, though. Right next to that spectacular kitchen is a game room complete with a pool table! Although there’s plenty to keep you occupied inside, make sure you step out every evening into the private hot tub as you breathe in all that mountain wonder.
