How to Stay Cozy: The Best Cabin Features for Winter Stays

Fluffy white snow outdoors. Fireplaces, games, and favorite movies indoors. This cozy cabin vacation in the Smoky Mountains will relax and rejuvenate your whole family! Rent a Smokies cabin with these features for a memorable winter getaway. 

Fireplaces

Most cabins boast living room fireplaces–from stone hearths to sleek gas fires. Pile on the logs for a crackling blaze, or simply flip a switch for a colorful gas fire. Read stories to the kids by the fire. Snuggle with your sweetheart and watch the flames dance. For the ultimate in coziness, choose a cabin with a fireplace in your bedroom! 

Soothing Hot Tubs

Never tried hot tubbing? Indulge yourself! Warm jets of water massage your muscles and bubble all around you. Take in mountain views and fresh air, while you stay warm right down to your bones! 

Outdoor Fire Pits

Breathe deeply and feel the crisp, cool air boost your mood. With an outdoor fire pit, you’ll relish making luscious s’mores, roasting hot dogs, and watching the stars twinkle overhead. If that’s still too much roughing it, look for a cabin with a fire pit right on the deck–it’s the best of both indoors and outdoors. 

Indoor Swimming Pools

Nothing says “luxury” quite like having your own indoor pool. Relax on the pool deck with a book or your favorite podcast, while the kids splash and play. Best of all, an in-cabin pool is yours  24/7, in any weather. 

In-Cabin Movie Theaters

Treat yourselves to a home theater room, with a huge screen, sound system, and real cinema seats or ultra-soft leather recliners. Kids’ movies, action, rom-coms, dramas–you don’t have to choose, when you can curate a different movie marathon every day. Stock up on plenty of popcorn and butter! 

Screened Porches

In the Smokies, winter weather tends to be chilly, even snowy, but not frigid. This is perfect weather for hanging out on a roofed, screened porch. Get the fresh air without the snow glare. We’ve even got cabins with extras like outdoor TVs.  

Entertaining Game Rooms

Shoot pool, and play foosball, air hockey, or darts. Conquer classic arcade games like you’re a teenager again. A well-appointed game room keeps all ages engaged. 

Stay entertained, relaxed and warm inside a Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge cabin this winter. Reserve your dream cabin online right now.
