One of the best parts about taking a vacation to the Smoky Mountains is the gorgeous views that are waiting for you around every corner. When you stay in our cabins, you’ll have so many opportunities to take in the scenery. Here are 8 ways to see breathtaking views when you stay in our Smoky Mountain cabin rentals:

1. Outdoor Deck

One of the best places to take in the views is on the deck of your cabin! We have beautiful cabin rentals that offer mountain views or river views for you to enjoy. Gather on the deck and relax in a rocking chair with a cup of coffee as you stare at the scenery, or soak in the bubbling hot tub as you watch the sunset at the end of the day. You can even cook a meal in the fully equipped kitchen or on the grill and dine with a view outside at the table on your deck!

2. Glass Windows

Many of our cabins have cathedral windows or large glass windows that allow you to enjoy the view from the comfort of inside your cabin. If the weather is too chilly to be outside, curl up in front of the fireplace and take in the scenery through the window. Wherever you turn, you can look out the window and admire a view of the mountains.

3. Gather Around the Fire Pit

Another way to see breathtaking views when you stay in our Smoky Mountain cabin rentals is by gathering around the fire pit! This is the perfect thing to do in the evenings. Not only will the fire feel great as the temperature starts to cool down, but nothing will compare to the sunset view. As the sun starts to set, it casts a beautiful glow behind the mountains. Make sure you bring your camera outside to capture the scene.

4. Great Smoky Mountain Wheel
