Top 6 Things to Know Before Renting a Cabin in Pigeon Forge, TN

Heading for Pigeon Forge? Before you rent a vacation cabin, check out these tips to ensure a smooth, affordable stay! 

1. You already made a smart choice.

Pat yourself on the back! Cabins beat hotels for value. A cabin boasts oodles of space and privacy, for a nightly rate about the same as–or less than–one hotel room. Cabins provide amenities used by your family or group and no one else. A hotel can’t do that. You’re going to get the best bang for your buck.

2. Pigeon Forge is popular, so plan accordingly.

Savvy travelers dodge the tourist crowds by avoiding the summer months and the October fall foliage season. Join us instead in late winter and early spring, or in September after Labor Day. You’ll have more choice of cabins and you’ll score lower rental rates during the off seasons. 

3. Know your budget and your must-have amenities.

Set a vacation budget before you start cabin-hunting, so you can limit your search to cabins in your price range. Get familiar with the extras available, like game rooms, pools, or movie theaters. Which amenities are your top priorities, and which can you live without? 

4. Know how many bedrooms you need.

Avoid overspending on bedrooms you don’t truly need. Focus on the number of guests a cabin accommodates, not just on the number of bedrooms it has. Pigeon Forge cabins have comfy sleeping spaces like pullout sofas, futons, and loft rooms. Determine how many in your group need bedrooms, and which travelers can use those other sleeping spaces. 

5. Don’t sweat it if your dream cabin isn’t "in" Pigeon Forge.

Whether the address is Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, Wears Valley, or even Gatlinburg, your rental will be near all of the area’s attractions. Check the distances between the cabins you’re considering and the specific attractions you just can’t miss. Then decide how much time you’re willing to spend on the road each day.

6. Choose a cabin managed by local experts.
