The Best Cabin Rental Getaways in Tennessee

The Smoky Mountains don’t just feel like a magical place, they really are a mystical destination. The phrase “old as the hills” rings true when you really dive into the old lore of the mountains. When you come to visit, take this otherworldly tour and investigate for yourself. Here are six of the Smokies’ best kept secrets.

1. Elkmont Trollbridge

Escape to a place that really feels like a glimpse into a mythical land. The Elkmont Trollbridge is a true hidden gem that only locals know about. Hike along the Little River Trail until you reach this spot. Covered in moss and mushrooms, the Trollbridge is perfect for capturing pictures or looking for hidden fantastical creatures.

2. House Of The Fairies

This whimsical spot is only a mile from downtown Gatlinburg yet it feels like you’ve been transported into another realm. Map to this magical place, then go out and explore. Here, you’ll find towering trees and moss covered logs and boulders. Then at the end of the trail you’ll see it...an arched doorway, that looks like it’s almost cut into the side of the hill, sits with a wooden ladder leaning against the frame. Step inside and find a cool spring, filled with water that tinkles like bells. 

3. Synchronous Fireflies

The synchronized fireflies that come out every year like clockwork might be more science than magic but when you’re sitting among the trees and they begin to spark in unison, flickering in and out of sight, it feels like something otherworldly. This rare phenomenon is only seen in a few places in the world and The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is one of them.

4. Elkmont Ghost Town

Once a thriving vacation spot for the Knoxville elite, the Elkmont Ghost Town looks like a legend brought back to life. Recently restored, explore inside the homes and hike trails where you will find the remains of homes once occupied by Appalachian locals who would serve, supply and work in the town. This piece of history is frozen in time and feels like stepping back into the past.

There are many magical places in the Smokies and these are only four of them. Don’t stop here, continue to search for more mystical creatures and sprites living in the trees and hollows. To discover more, stay overnight in the mountains in a log cabin. This cabin is even called Magical Moments, which is exactly what you’ll find when you visit the Smoky Mountains.

Here are 3 reasons to ditch the downtown hotels and spend your stay in the mountains:

1. Waking up in the mountains is magical.  

Imagine having that first cup of morning coffee while the fog is still hanging just above the dewy wildflowers. Drink in some of the freshest air in America with your first yawn. With cool morning mist, the sound of clear water babbling over rocks, and the twitter of songbirds in the trees, waking up in the mountains with the one you love is about as close to paradise as you can get.

2. Staying in a cabin is incredibly convenient.

There’s nothing like being right in the foothills of the Smokies, with no stressful descent from a mountain to traverse busy intersections and hotel lobbies. Your cabin will be your home away from home, with the very best amenities imaginable. Couples love whipping up a romantic dinner in their cabin’s fully equipped kitchen or enjoying a soak in their private hot tub. Our secluded cabins are also just a short drive from all of the amazing hiking, sightseeing, and outdoor fun in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

3. Secluded cabins give you the privacy you’re looking for.

Rather than suffering noisy neighbors at a hotel, secluded cabins are completely private. Couples can leave the hustle and bustle of their everyday life for a while, and take some time to enjoy each other’s company in one of the most scenic locations in the world.
