4. 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.
