Top 5 Benefits of Staying in Our Downtown Gatlinburg Cabins

Top 5 Benefits of Staying in Our Downtown Gatlinburg Cabins

Want to spend your vacation on fun, instead of on the road? Stay close to attractions in downtown Gatlinburg, in a private, well-appointed cabin. Discover these five benefits of making Gatlinburg’s heart your home! 

1. Attractions are Just Moments Away

Most of Gatlinburg’s attractions cluster along the downtown Parkway, nicknamed “the Strip.” When your cabin sits just beyond the Strip, you save time getting to all the entertainment you crave.

Let a gondola whisk you up a mountain for adventures at Anakeesta. Cross a breathtaking footbridge over a deep valley at Gatlinburg SkyPark. Take Instagram-worthy selfies with famous movie cars. Zoom downhill on mountain coasters. Be the day’s first visitors at Ripley’s Aquarium and watch the sharks gobble their breakfast.

2. Ditch Your Car and Ride the Free Trolley

Grab a parking space before the crowds arrive, then let Gatlinburg’s free trolleys chauffeur you to all the attractions! Relax and enjoy the ride, hopping on and off the trolley whenever you like.

We’ve got cabins and condos within walking distance of the Parkway, too. When you stay in one of these gems, just leave your car there and stroll to the nearest trolley stop! You won’t even pay for parking.

3. Culinary Adventures are Right Outside Your Door

Gatlinburg is a foodie’s delight. Restaurants pack the Strip and side streets. You’ll find so many temptations here, like Southern home cooking, zingy Tennessee BBQ, Mexican, seafood, classic diner food, and much more. Try a different cuisine each night!

4. Enjoy Privacy and Unbeatable Amenities

Privacy? Next to a busy city center? Absolutely. Choose a cabin instead of a hotel room, and you don’t have to share your space with anyone except your family or friends. Your “close to downtown” cabin is likely tucked into a lovely resort community or surrounded by lush trees. And all its amenities, from the hot tub to the game room to the gorgeous decks, are yours alone.

5. Nature’s Still Your Neighbor

Even in a downtown cabin, you’re near the mountains’ serene natural beauty. The Parkway isn’t just the city’s main street, it’s also the road directly into Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Get all the action of the city, plus all the soothing calm of the mountains, at one convenient cabin.
