Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Cherokee

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
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!

Maggie’s Lane cottage~Come visit the Elk!
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!

Cool Valley Cabin at Grassy Fork
We had a lovely relaxing vacation on the beautiful acreage! The home met all of our needs & we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We’ve been coming to this area of TN for many years but Daniel’s place is the most serene we’ve ever encountered!! Thanks for sharing your beautiful homestead! 😊

Pet & kid friendly Cabin in Bryson City!
Loved our stay. Our family had a great Easter vacation.

Epic Cabin Getaway:Hot Tub, Movies & Games Galore!
This was our second time staying here, and we came back because we loved it so much the first time! The cabin is amazing, the views can't be beat, and Kim is wonderful to work with. We will be back next year!

Relaxing Eagles Ridge Getaway | Hot Tub
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.

Mountain Creek Escape! 2 Living Rooms & 2 Decks!
We appreciated the attention to detail! Overall very nicely decorated. Well stocked with games, dog supplies, and even two coffee bars (upstairs and downstairs). The sound of the small babbling brook below was peaceful.

Near Town/Deck/Hot Tub/Fire Pit/Views
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
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.

Awesome Game Room, Hot Tub, SuperClose 2dwtn Gburg
The location of this cabin was perfect! Michelle & Jason were easy to contact and they responded immediately. They provided easy instructions to check in and check out. The cabin had plenty of space. I highly recommended their cabin!

Amazing Views,4Miles to Downtown, Hottub, Firepit,
My family loved this cabin, its location and amenities (hot tub, fireplace, fire pit, foosball table, grill). The cabin was clean and exactly as pictured in the posting. It was close to everything but still in the mountains with a beautiful view. Zach is an attentive and responsive host and provided all the information we needed for the stay. I highly recommend this cabin for a comfortable and relaxing stay!

Cedar Ridge Hideaway (True Cabin Retreat)
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!

Summer Special! Hot Tub, Pond, Fire Pit, GSMNP!
Everything was exactly as described. Furniture was beautiful, the upstairs bathroom is brand new & GORGEOUS. Very clean.

Justin’s place was perfect for our anniversary trip! It was clean, cozy, and a great location. We appreciated all the accommodations they had- dog bowls, high chair/playpen, etc. We had a great time & Justin was a great host- fast response & very helpful! Would definitely stay here again!

🐾BEARY COZY CABIN ROMANTIC GETAWAY/HotTub.
Perfect little cabin for my husband and I and our two fur babies. Close enough to everything but still felt private and secluded.

This is my second stay at Michelle's cabin and it's always a great experience. The view is beautiful and the amenities are perfect 👌🏻. Highly recommended!

True Log < 2Mi to The Island! Fast Wifi, Hot Tub!
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!

Cozy PF Cabin -Dog Friendly -Hot Tub -Pool Table

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.
