6 Things Kids Love Most About Staying in a Cabin

6 Things Kids Love Most About Staying in a Cabin

Treat the kids to a family vacation they’ll never forget. Rent a Smoky Mountains cabin filled with these kid-approved delights.

1. Game Rooms

Kids can’t resist air hockey, foosball, skee ball, or darts. Hold a family tournament on a video game console loaded with classics like Pac-Man or Donkey Kong. Some cabins go all in on arcade entertainment, too: Hop behind the wheel of a full-sized racing simulation game. Hunt virtual deer. Shoot hoops on an indoor basketball game. Check cabin listings to see what games your favorite cabins hold!

2. Pool Tables

Rack up the colorful balls and shoot pool any time of day or night. Don’t know the rules? Look them up online, and learn together, making memories as you help each other out. Discover if there’s a pool shark in the family!

3. Bunk Beds

You might have to flip a coin to decide who gets the top bunk! Kids will clamor to stay in a bunk room, where they can build blanket forts, hide to read by flashlight, or laze away a chilly afternoon watching TV. Bonus for grown-ups: When the kids have their own special space, you get more alone time to kick back and enjoy the views from your cabin.

4. Fire Pits

Stock up on marshmallows. You’ll want plenty when you rent a cabin with an outdoor fire pit. Let the kids take charge of roasting hot dogs, making s’mores, and enjoying old-fashioned campfire fun.

5. Room to Play

Here’s where a cabin beats a hotel every time. Kids can be kids here! Outdoors, they can toss a Frisbee or watch for wildlife. On a rainy day, they can spread out a puzzle on the dining table, or play a board game in the loft. Let them cheer and laugh! You won’t have to shush them. There’s no stressing over whether other guests can hear, because your cabin is yours alone.

6. Swimming Pools

Surprise the kids and splurge on a cabin with its own private pool, or book a cabin with access to a nearby resort pool. Think how thrilled they’ll be to discover they can swim every day of their Smokies vacation!

Book your Smoky Mountain cabin now, and plan a vacation your kids will talk about for years to come.
