A Gatlinburg cabin vacation with Colonial Properties delivers something most accommodations can't: luxury amenities, stunning mountain settings, and genuine affordability — all managed by a local team that's been doing this since 2005. Here's exactly what our guests love most.
A Wide Selection for Every Group and Budget
Whether you're planning a romantic weekend for two or a multi-family reunion for 25, we have the right cabin. Our Gatlinburg inventory spans the full spectrum:
- 1-bedroom cabins — Cozy, private, and ideal for couples. Many feature king beds, jetted tubs, and mountain views from a covered deck. Browse 1-bedroom cabins →
- 2 and 3-bedroom cabins — The sweet spot for families of 4–8. Comfortable for everyone without paying for empty rooms. Browse 2-bedroom cabins → | 3-bedroom →
- Large group cabins — 4 to 8 bedrooms sleeping up to 25+ guests, with multiple living areas, full kitchens, and group-scale amenities. Browse large cabin rentals →
Amenities That Hotels Simply Can't Match
This is where a Colonial Properties cabin rental genuinely separates from any hotel stay at a comparable price. Our cabins aren't just a place to sleep — they're packed with amenities that become the highlight of the vacation:
Private swimming pools — A personal pool with no shared lanes, no pool hours, and no strangers. Available year-round in many cabins. Browse cabins with private pools →
Home theater rooms — Private movie theaters with high-end video systems, plush seating, and surround sound. Rainy afternoons have never been better. Browse cabins with theater rooms →
Game rooms — Pool tables, foosball, air hockey, Multicade arcade consoles, shuffleboard, and more — open 24/7, no tokens required. Browse game room cabins →
Hot tubs — Private outdoor hot tubs under the mountain sky. The amenity guests request most and appreciate most. Browse cabins with hot tubs →
Fire pits — Crackling fires, s'mores, mountain air, good company. The Smoky Mountains evening experience. Browse fire pit cabins →
Arcade games, mini golf, and more — Some of our most distinctive properties include arcade consoles, putting greens, and other amenities you simply won't find at a hotel.
The full kitchen — included in every cabin — is itself a major amenity. Cook breakfasts together before a hike. Pack lunches for Cades Cove. Save hundreds on dining out over a multi-night stay.
Beautiful Locations — From Riverside to Mountaintop
Gatlinburg's terrain means no two Colonial Properties cabins feel quite the same. We have properties across the full range of Smoky Mountain settings:
Riverside cabins — Cabins where you can hear the creek from your bedroom, wade in mountain water steps from the door, and fall asleep to the sound of rushing water. Browse riverside cabins →
Mountain view cabins — Perched on hillsides and ridgelines with panoramic views of the Smoky Mountains stretching to the horizon. Wake up to the fog burning off the valleys below. Browse mountain view cabins →
Secluded forest cabins — Tucked into the trees with genuine privacy — no visible neighbors, natural buffers of forest and creek, and the particular quiet that only mountain seclusion delivers.
Near-downtown cabins — Close enough to the Gatlinburg Parkway to walk to Ripley's Aquarium, Ole Smoky, and the candy stores; far enough to feel like a genuine mountain escape at the end of the day.
Whatever setting speaks to your group — water, views, seclusion, or convenience — we have a Gatlinburg cabin that delivers it.
Free Attraction Tickets with Every Stay
Our Stay & Play Pass is one of the most tangible ways Colonial Properties delivers value that competitors don't. Every paid night includes one complimentary ticket per night to a participating attraction — over 20 of the Smoky Mountains' top destinations, with an estimated value of up to $951 per night.
The pass covers:
- Mountain coasters
- White-water rafting
- Dinner shows
- Water parks
- Dollywood
- And many more
Affordable Prices — Better Value Than a Hotel
The comparison is straightforward. For approximately the same nightly rate as a standard hotel room, a Colonial Properties cabin delivers:
- Multiple private bedrooms instead of one shared room
- A full kitchen instead of a microwave and mini-fridge
- Private outdoor space — deck, hot tub, fire pit — instead of a shared pool
- Game room, theater room, and cabin amenities instead of a gym and lobby TV
- A mountain setting instead of a parking lot view
- Space for the whole family or group under one roof
We also make it even more affordable with:
- Monthly specials and seasonal promotions — Midweek discounts, extended stay deals, late summer savings, and more
- Stay 6/7th Night Free — Book 6 nights and the 7th is complimentary
- Military and First Responder discounts — Available to active duty military, veterans, and qualifying first responders
- Direct booking savings — No third-party platform fees (which can add 10–20% to your total on Vrbo or Airbnb)
