7 Amenities You'll Love at Your Cabin Rental This Winter

Published Nov 2, 2022

Winter getaways offer frosty fun on the Smoky Mountains’ ski slopes and hiking trails. When you come home to your vacation cabin, you’ll find amazing amenities to keep you toasty and entertained, like these!

1. Cozy Fireplaces

Whether you pile fragrant logs into a wood-burning fireplace, or just touch a switch and make gas flames leap, a fireplace is the cabin’s warm heart. Drink a hot toddy or play board games by the fireplace at your cabin rental. Some cabins feature additional fireplaces in bedrooms, for a romantic touch.

2. An Outdoor Fire Pit

Enjoy the crisp mountain air. Wrap your fingers around a mug of hot chocolate and sit by an outdoor fire pit at your cabin rental. Don’t forget marshmallows for making s’mores!

3. Your Personal Movie Theater

Pick a cabin with a movie theater room and curate your own film festival. Some in-cabin theaters include cinema-style seats and others opt for plush sofas or recliners. Enjoy top-notch screens, surround sound systems, video libraries and streaming services for movies, shows and sports.

4. In-Cabin Pools and Saunas

Imagine swimming serene laps or playing Marco Polo. You can do both in a private, indoor swimming pool–even when there’s snow outside! Choose a rental with an in-cabin pool for the ultimate winter indulgence.

For even more luxury, get a cabin with a sauna and pamper yourself after skiing at Ober Gatlinburg or hiking in the Smokies.

5. A Bubbling Hot Tub

Slip into the outdoor hot tub at your cabin rental and watch the steam rise. Below the surface, you’re melting your cares away. You can watch for wildlife by day or count the constellations by night.

6. A Fully Equipped Kitchen

A kitchen might not seem like a special amenity but just think: Piping hot cookies coming out of the oven. A big pot of chili on the stove. Coffee brewing, ready to sip on the deck or in the jetted tub in your bedroom upstairs! Colonial Properties' cabin kitchens have everything you need to cook a winter feast or just keep the hot drinks flowing.

7. Game Rooms

Gather around the pool table for friendly competition. Teach the kids how to play classic arcade games from your teen years. Cheer your friends at foosball or air hockey. Choose a cabin with a game room that has your favorite indoor fun!
