How Cabins in the Smokies Accommodate Large Vacation Groups

Published Dec 6, 2023

Your family reunion or friends’ getaway calls for a spacious cabin! We’ve got you covered, with cabins for dozens of guests. Find out how large group cabins accommodate so many folks, so smoothly.

1. Getting a Good Night’s Sleep

“How can this five-bedroom cabin really ‘sleep 16’?” It’s a fair question. Look for sleeper sofas and extra beds in lofts. And if “bunk room” makes you picture old-school twin mattress bunks, check out the two bunk rooms at six-bedroom, 19-guest Grand Getaway Lodge, including “queen-over-queen” mattress bunks. See Trout’n About’s twin-over-full bed bunks among the five bedrooms in this cabin for 18. 

2. Living Rooms With Space to Spread Out

You read that right: “Rooms,” plural! Large cabins often have a second living room, or one living room plus additional seating areas. Finding a place to curl up to read, or slip away to chat, is easy. 

If ample living space is a must-have, look at Keaton’s Firefly Meadow. This seven-bedroom beauty, for up to 34 guests, has two living rooms plus a game and media room with a full-sized, leather sectional sofa. For a smaller group, try Mountain Breeze, a six-bedroom cabin for 12, with two living rooms.

3. Dining Areas for Group Gatherings 

You want to be able to gather for memorable meals, so a large dining table is key. The right cabin gives you additional options. Look for bar counters, kitchen islands with seating, and outdoor dining. Seven-bedroom, 17-guest Keaton’s on the Creek features an indoor dining table for 17, an outdoor dining table for 10, three more outdoor tables, and a picnic table. 

4. Entertainment for a Crowd

The bigger the cabin, the likelier you’ll find entertaining amenities. Look for in-cabin movie theaters, swimming pools and game rooms. 

Feel like Hollywood royalty in the 12-seat movie theater inside Cinema Six. The six-bedroom cabin for 16 has a game room with air hockey, pool, tabletop shuffleboard and arcade video games. Deer Lodge, with five bedrooms for 20 guests, offers a movie room, skee ball, foosball, video games and an incredible mini-golf course in the yard.

5. Neighboring Cabins

Large groups can choose cabins located next to each other, for more space and the chance for down time.
