Top 8 Tips for Booking Affordable Cabin Rentals in Pigeon Forge

Indulge in a Pigeon Forge vacation without breaking the bank. Use these tips to save money when you rent a private, convenient cabin. With the money you save, you’ll have more to spend on Dollywood! 

1. Book your cabin as early as possible.

When you reserve a cabin early, you get more choices of cabins at a wider variety of rates.

2. Be flexible about dates.

Rates are higher during weekends and at the most popular tourist seasons–summer and fall foliage peak in October and November. Visit during the week and the off-season and you’ll pay less. 

3. Focus on how many guests a cabin accommodates–not the number of bedrooms.

Sleeping spaces include sleeper sofas, futon couches, lofts, and bunk rooms–many of which aren’t listed as “bedrooms.” That’s how a five-bedroom cabin might accommodate up to 18 guests, or a two-bedroom cabin could sleep eight folks with ease. Don’t pay for a cabin with more bedrooms than you really need.

4. Avoid fees by booking directly with the cabin rental company.  

Third-party booking platforms add their own fees to every rental. Avoid those fees by cutting out the middleman. When you book online directly with Colonial Properties, we’ll give you a 10 percent discount off the nightly rate. No fees, plus a discount? That’s smart booking! 

5. Ask about discounts honoring special groups.

If you’re a military member, first responder, teacher, or senior, we’d like to offer you 10 percent off the nightly rate. 

6. Look for limited-time deals on specific cabins.

Ask us which cabins have special rates for the time you’ll be here. A simple promo code could be your key to saving dough! 

7. Pick a cabin with fun amenities.

Why not spend a few vacation days having a blast at your cabin? No need to buy tickets for this entertainment! We have rentals with game rooms, hot tubs, outdoor fire pits, movie theaters, swimming pools, and plenty more to keep all ages happy. 

8. Save money by using your cabin’s kitchen.

Eating out for every meal can bust a budget quickly. When you rent a Pigeon Forge cabin with a fully equipped kitchen, you can cook your own meals, pack picnics, and keep costs down.
