7 Reasons Why Cabins Are Ideal for Long Weekend Getaways

7 Reasons Why Cabins Are Ideal for Long Weekend Getaways


Planning an escape to the Smoky Mountains, but you only have one long weekend to spare? Choose a cabin for ultimate comfort, amenities, and privacy! Check out these seven reasons why a cabin makes the ideal weekend destination.

1. Fully Equipped Kitchens

Save time and money by whipping up tasty meals at your cabin. The kitchen holds all the cookware, dishes, and utensils you’ll need. Try that luscious lasagna recipe you never have time to make at home or bake your sweetheart’s favorite cookies “just because.”

2. Private Swimming Pools

We offer gorgeous cabins with their own indoor or outdoor swimming pools. That’s right: A pool that’s all yours, open 24/7. No disappointing “Pool Closed” signs here!

3. In-Cabin Movie Theaters

Hunker down in a cabin with its own movie theater room featuring top-notch video and audio systems. Having a family weekend? Let the kids program a family movie night. Enjoying a romantic couple’s getaway? Watch rom-coms to inspire you!

4. Entertaining Game Rooms

Cabins with game rooms keep everyone smiling, even on the rainiest days. Pick a cabin with just a pool table or go all out and choose one with arcade video games, foosball, air hockey, and more. Dust off your Pac-Man skills and show off for the kids.

5. Convenient Locations

You’re only in the Smokies for a few days. Why waste even a minute of that precious time sitting in traffic? If you’re here for attractions like Dollywood, Ripley’s Aquarium, or other downtown delights, pick a cabin near the hearts of Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg. Want to stay close to the national park, for hiking and scenic drives? We’ve got cabins on the park’s doorstep.

6. Relaxing Privacy

Hotels just can’t match a cabin’s privacy and quiet. In a cabin, there are no shared walls, no noisy halls, no crowded lobbies. Just the serene Smokies outside, brimming with beauty.

7. Free Tickets to Attractions

With a Colonial Properties cabin, you get free tickets to a whopping 20 attractions! Our exclusive Stay & Play Pass unlocks one free ticket each day of your stay. Your only problem will be choosing which incredible attractions to see!

Whether you’re bringing the whole family or seeking an intimate escape for two, your dream cabin is right here. Book now and discover how much fun and relaxation you can pack into just one long weekend.
