Published May 5, 2025 6 Smart Ways to Save on Your Next Stay at a Gatlinburg Luxury Cabin

Enjoy Gatlinburg’s natural beauty, and the pampering luxuries of a private cabin, without breaking the bank. Use these tips to save money while still booking the mountain cabin of your dreams.

1. Visit during off-peak periods.

Travel to Gatlinburg in the off-season to get the year’s widest choice of cabins, often at the year’s best rates. Imagine booking a more luxurious cabin, with amenities like a movie theater, game room, or indoor pool, and paying less than you would in summer! At the link here, we’ve curated tips on scheduling off-season travel. 

2. Take advantage of discounts based on occupations or memberships.

Are you an active duty or retired military member? A first responder, or a teacher? A senior, or a member of AAA? All of these groups get 10 percent off their Colonial Properties rentals. 

3. Ask about special deals on specific cabins.

Look for limited-time offers on certain cabins. These special reductions don’t stick around long, so book quickly when you spot one.  

4. Book directly with us.

When you reserve your cabin on Colonial Properties’ website, we’ll take 10 percent off the nightly rate, just to say thanks. You’ll save even more money, too, because you won’t have to pay the booking fees that third-party sites charge. 

5. Get free tickets to attractions when you stay at a Colonial Properties cabin.

Your booking includes our Stay and Play Pass, giving you one free ticket to popular activities every day of your stay. The pass covers 15 delightful Smokies outings, including these guest favorites:

  • Dollywood One-Day Pass
  • Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies
  • Dolly Parton’s Stampede Dinner and Show
  • Alcatraz East Crime Museum
  • Whitewater rafting, horseback riding, mountain coasters, and more!

6. Save dough by cooking at your cabin.

Eating out can gobble up your vacation budget. On average, vacationing adults spend $58 per day on food–and that’s not including tips or alcohol. Why not dine in your cozy, private cabin, or make picnics to eat while you hike? Your cabin kitchen is fully equipped with cookware and dishes. Make vacation memories cooking with your sweetheart or the kids, while saving money at the same time. 

Gatlinburg cabins offer top-notch comfort, breathtaking views, and a convenient location at the doorstep of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Reserve your Gatlinburg luxury cabin today, to get a dream vacation at a smart price!
