People from around the world are drawn to the beauty and magic of the Smoky Mountains. Here, the mist rises like a veil over ancient peaks and beckons people in. And within these very mountains lies a collection of luxury accommodations that promise more than just your basic travel comfort — they offer a unique type of mountain sanctuary.
These gorgeous rentals are places where time can feel like it stands still as you find yourself within a retreat that combines natural beauty, tranquility, amenities, and, of course, luxury accommodations. So, if what you seek are the comforts of home paired with the beauty of deep Appalachia, look no further than the following outstanding seven rentals.
1. Big Bear Cove Lodge
Are you planning a big group vacation? Look no further than the Big Bear Cove Lodge in Gatlinburg. This sprawling 26-bedroom cabin can fit as many as 100 guests and includes a whole host of premier amenities. This includes its own indoor pool, multiple hot tubs, a private theater, indoor basketball court, and uniquely, a backlit mini golf course. There’s also your standard cabin amenities like a fire pit and, naturally, a beautiful wooden deck from which you can sip coffee and enjoy a sunrise over the mountains. While we really love this cabin for large families, consider it also a great place to book for something like a corporate retreat where you want everyone to have what they need for comfort and entertainment.

3. Mansion in the Sky
Traveling with adults who love strolling downtown bars and restaurants? Then book at the Mansion in the Sky. This five-bedroom luxury cabin is located just two miles from downtown and yet still boasts panoramic mountain views from its multiple balconies. Mansion in the Sky has been recently updated and features a very modern, well-appointed interior that includes a high-end kitchen that is kept fully stocked so that your group can easily come in and make your own gourmet meals. This luxury cabin also features its own private theater room as well as a game room complete with a pool table and wet bar.

4. Woodland Cove
Woodland Cove is more of an intimate cabin, with just three bedrooms. Of course, those three bedrooms are quite spacious, and this lodging is capable of accommodating up to twelve guests very comfortably. We love the screened-in pool and deck this cabin features, as well as its massive bathrooms. The Woodland Cove, true to its name, is located a touch out of town (about a 20-minute drive to Gatlinburg) and thus feels a bit more private and nature-focused than some of the other locations on our list.

5. Summit Pool Mansion
The Summit Pool Mansion lives up to its name with six grand bedrooms that each feature its own en-suite bathroom. Such a nice pairing makes this luxury cabin accommodation a great choice for multiple couples who are traveling together. One of the larger king rooms even has its own handicap-friendly bathroom that was built with a custom roll-in shower. Other amenities at the Summit Pool Mansion that everyone can enjoy include a massive indoor pool and patio area, a game room featuring arcade games and a pool table, hot tub, a private theater, and a large open kitchen and dining area.

6. Pinnacle Chalet
The Pinnacle Chalet is aptly named given its private location, beautiful mountain overlook, and stunning living room chandelier. Just a short drive from Gatlinburg, we love this location for a large private family getaway. This luxury accommodation features six bedrooms that can accommodate as many as 21 guests. The breathtaking panoramic mountain views are undoubtedly a big part of this log cabin-chalet charm, but there are also plenty of other amenities to attract your attention. Things like a warm, inviting, and fully-outfitted modern kitchen, or the game room complete with pool table and shuffleboard, or how about the massive hot tub that’s ideal for warming you up on chilly winter evenings?

With this booking, you can relax in the deck hot tub, challenge friends and family members in the game room via the pool table, or unwind in the Adirondack chairs beside the fire pit after a long day of hiking outdoors.
