This Cabin Retreat Is Close to Great Smoky Mountains National Park

It doesn't get much dreamier than an A-frame cabin nestled in the woods. Add to that some swoon-worthy amenities and a quick drive to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and you've got all the makings of a fantastic mountain escape. Hikers Hideaway is a fan-favorite Airbnb in Gatlinburg, located just three miles from the park's entrance, meaning a world of hiking and outdoor adventures will be just beyond your doorstep. But with access to three pools, your own private hot tub, a spacious deck, and sweeping views of the Smokies, you may not want to venture out at all.

Gatlinburg's Chalet Village is where you'll find this picture-perfect cabin rental. It's tucked away in the woods, yet just two minutes from downtown. The cabin has enough space for six guests, with two queen bedrooms, one and a half baths, and one pull-out couch that converts into a full-size bed.

The A-frame has that quintessential mountain cabin feel, with beautiful wood paneling, a stone fireplace, ample room for sitting, and windows that draw your eye outside. No Smoky Mountain getaway cabin is complete without at least a little black bear decor, but Hiker's Haven keeps it trendy and understated. Some cabins in the area can seem a bit manufactured, with generic decorations and flimsy finishes, but these hosts have prioritized quality and comfort through and through.

When you're ready to rest, the bedrooms offer a welcome respite. One bedroom is on the main floor, and the other is upstairs. Both are snug but have everything you'll need for a quality night of sleep. Spend the evening unwinding in the hot tub and watching the sun dip behind the mountains—it's the perfect way to end your day in the mountains.

When adventure calls, don't hesitate to embrace all that the national park has to offer. In terms of hikes, some nearby trails include Cataract Falls, Grassy Branch Trail, and Alum Cave Trail. The town of Gatlinburg has tons of visit-worthy attractions, too, especially if you're traveling with the whole family. As a guest of Hiker's Haven, you'll also get access to clubhouse amenities like the beautiful pools and tennis court facilities.

Guests should note that while four-wheel drive isn't required, it's recommended. The road to the cabin is paved, but four-wheel drive or AWD is ideal for the region.
