Pet Friendly near Gatlinburg

We had a wonderful stay! We were in the area as my daughter’s team was playing at the Ripken baseball fields. The house is a great cabin to stay away from the hustle of the parkway but close enough to enjoy the area

Family/Pet Friendly Cabin

BrittanyRating, 5 stars3 months ago
I can’t thank Alison and Jason enough for being the best host and providing our family with an ideal place to stay minutes from the parkway and also not a far drive from the scenic Cades cove! Alison and Jason provided so many details on other things to do and places to eat/visit while in town and we couldn’t be happier with them and their beautiful cabin!

Enjoyed our stay in this lovely cabin. The noise from the main road was a distraction however the quality of the cabin and its contents made up for this hindrance. We did not see any Elk but enjoyed the beautiful Mountain View!

Relaxing Eagles Ridge Getaway | Hot Tub

AngelaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Host was very good at communicating and everything was as pictured or better (a pic of the loft where the pool table is located had an older style tv, but on arrival all the tv’s were flat screen smart tv’s-three in total-bedroom/living room/loft). They had everything you could possibly need including fans, for those who can’t sleep at night without a fan. Literally a few minutes from the main strip in Pigeon Forge, yet felt like you were really in a more remote location. Cabin was great, hot tub and pool table were awesome amenities and made the stay so much better. The community of cabins where this is located was quiet and safe, and provided a nice place to get a good workout in the evenings if you like to walk like we do. We stayed a week and everything you’d like to do is so close! Gatlinburg is not very far either. The bed was VERY comfortable to us, which is unusual because we have a sleep number bed at home. Looking forward to returning and would definitely book again.

BrandyRating, 5 stars4 days ago
It was really easy to find due to the directions that were given to us before arrival. There was a book on the counter with places people enjoyed going, take out menus, and reviews of local attractions. The space was clean and had everything we needed. It wasn’t as private as some of the others we’ve stayed in but it was a nice area.

Momma Bear Cabin w/ secluded site

JacobRating, 5 stars18 months ago
Not a bad deal for the price. Cabin is not insulated and get's cold at night. I'd recommend a few blankets or sleeping bag in the colder months which I believe she recommended. You need to meet with the owner at check in where she goes over rules etc. She also drove by to caution us about the campfire in the presence of winds. Overall, I felt the property was well worth the price.

Cedar Ridge Hideaway (True Cabin Retreat)

KimberlyRating, 5 stars8 months ago
This is just a lovely place up on a mountain! Even if you don't have an SUV or AWD, don't let the driveway scare you. Our Miata NC made it up multiple times with no problems. Take the advice of the cabin owner and go slow in low gear. The cabin was clean, comfortable and spacious. It is a peaceful, quiet and scenic spot. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch rockers and relaxing. You will be away from the action/hubbub of Fontana Village and Bryson City, but can get to either in 30-40 minutes. This was much better for us than renting several hotel rooms. The kitchen has everything you need. The hot tub area was nice, too. Owner communicates well and quickly. Thanks, Christina!

We spent our 3 year anniversary together at this cozy cabin! It was perfect for everything we needed for our stay. Loved having a full kitchen and laundry to make us feel right at home. There is LOTS to do nearby. We were NEVER bored, and always looked forward to snuggling up by the fire at the cabin when our day finished! 10/10 would do it again!

Your guide to Cherokee

All About Cherokee

Cherokee, North Carolina, got its name from the Cherokee people, who have been the custodians of this rugged, misty mountainscape for centuries. In the summer, you can experience living Cherokee history at evening bonfires with Cherokee elders or at Unto These Hills outdoor performances. A visit here is as much about immersing yourself in Cherokee culture and traditions as it is about hiking the peak of the Great Smoky Mountains or the Appalachian Mountains, seeing the rush of the Soco waterfalls, and spotting wildlife like elk and bears in their natural habitats. In Cherokee, you can also walk in the outsized footsteps of Jadahula the giant, who, according to local legend, used the Smokies as his playground.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Cherokee

The most popular time to visit Cherokee is in October, when the leaves change colors, painting the Smoky Mountain scenery in shades of rust, bronze, and gold. The crisp but sunny weather is perfect for hiking, rafting, and enjoying the outdoors. In winter, expect snow and chillier temperatures perfect for snuggling up in a cozy cabin in Cherokee. In March, foodies flock into town for the Rainbows and Ramps festival, which celebrates the local delicacies of rainbow trout and wild ramps (a type of wild baby leek). The forest fields come alive with blooming wildflowers in March and April, and though there will be rainy days, the weather is mild and the town will be quieter. June through August is when the sun shines in Cherokee, and the hot weather makes this a great time for watersports, swimming in the rivers, and enjoying the outdoors. Come in the summer for special events like Cherokee Bonfire storytelling, watch an Unto These Hills outdoor drama, attend a blueberry festival, and more.


Top things to do in Cherokee

Ziplining

Nantahala Gorge boasts 11 different zip line sections, spread over 20 acres of rugged mountains and forests. The three-hour zipline journey will take you across hanging bridges, over treetops, and up and down craggy cliff sides as you experience the park from a bird's eye view.

Oconaluftee River

There are no shortage of scenic hiking and rafting opportunities along the Oconaluftee River, but there’s a rope swing spot that is particularly beloved by local families. Tube down the river to Piney Grove Beach to find it, or ask a local for driving directions to this off-the-beaten-path swimming hole.

Qualla Arts and Crafts market

Visit the oldest Native American art cooperative in the United States, which showcases the handicrafts of more than 250 Cherokee artists. This is known as the place to go for intricate woven baskets, fine beaded jewelry, hand-thrown pottery, and beautiful wood and stone sculptures.
