Top 6 Reasons Why Families Choose Cabins with Big Living Rooms

A welcoming living room is the heart of any cabin, and a big living room gives your family extra space to sprawl. Take a look at how a cabin with a big living room enhances a Smoky Mountains getaway.

1. Gather the whole family without crowding.

Whether you’re looking for a quiet getaway or a lively family reunion, you’ll love having a room where everyone can spend time together. Birthday celebration? Family game night? A movie marathon, with heaps of hot popcorn? Whatever the occasion, you can gather everyone with ease in a big living room.

2. A cabin makes you feel at home.

Why spend your vacation coming “home” to a hotel room every night? Back home, you wouldn’t spend all your down time crammed together in a bedroom. Choose a cabin instead of a hotel and get a whole house to call your own. A living room gives everyone space to spread out and relax. Leave bedrooms for sleeping!

3. Living rooms offer unbeatable luxury and comfort.

Even a hotel suite can’t give you a sitting area with this much space. Enjoy plush seating most hotels can’t match. Sink into buttery-soft leather sofas. Stretch out in plumply padded recliners. Bask in the rustic elegance of features like cathedral ceilings, river stone fireplaces, gleaming wood floors, and handcrafted log furnishings worthy of an Appalachian art gallery.

4. Big living rooms boast entertaining amenities.

Look for large, flat-screen TVs, perfectly perched where everyone gets a great view. Some living rooms have space for pool tables, foosball, or arcade game consoles, doubling as game rooms.

5. Spectacular views take your breath away.

The bigger the living room, the better the view! In a large living room, whole walls of windows frame the natural beauty outside. Pick a cabin by the river and gaze out at the serene water flowing past. Choose a hillside cabin for uninterrupted views of wooded slopes and mountain peaks.

6. Open plan living rooms encourage family time.

In an open plan first level, you can all chat while you’re hanging out, even if you’re each in different “rooms.” The kids are setting up a game on the living room’s coffee table. Your sweetheart is at the dining table, checking email. You’re in the kitchen, whipping up a snack. Yet you’re all together, able to share ideas and laughs.

Reserve your Smoky Mountain cabin with a large living room now, and get the peaceful family time you’ve been craving.
