5 Unexpected Ways Renting a Gatlinburg Cabin Can Help You Save Money

Want to vacation in the Smoky Mountains, but need to stick to a budget? Let us reveal the secrets of how a Gatlinburg cabin rental is so budget-friendly, you’ll have money left to spend on more fun!

1. Share costs with family and friends.

Our cabins range from one-bedroom getaways for two, to eight-bedroom cabins accommodating 24 or more guests. When you vacation with family members or friends, you can divide up the per-night costs. “The more, the merrier” is true, and so is “The more, the cheaper.” 

2. Save money by cooking at your cabin. 

On average in 2024, vacationers in the United States will spend $58 per person, per day, on food–most of it spent in restaurants. Imagine how many other ways you could be spending those vacation dollars! Spend less on dining out. Use your cabin’s fully equipped kitchen to make breakfasts, prepare picnic lunches, and store restaurant leftovers to enjoy again.

3. Enjoy your cabin’s amenities.

You’re here for Gatlinburg attractions, sure, but don’t overlook the terrific amenities in your cabin. They don’t cost a penny extra, and you’ll never wait in line for tickets! Shoot pool or play arcade games in the game room. Watch sports, shows, or movies on TV. Splurge a little on a cabin with its own movie theater and it pays off with hours of entertainment on a big screen. Pack your bathing suits and spend a day at the nearest community pool or your cabin’s private pool.  

4. Take advantage of discounts and deals.

At Colonial Properties cabins, you get a 10 percent discount if you’re a first responder, teacher, senior, repeat guest, or active or retired military member. Scoop a 10 percent discount for booking online directly with us. Save even more with limited-time deals on specific cabins. We’re happy to fill you in on all our deals and discounts! 

5. Avoid sneaky fees.

Have you ever spotted a mysterious “resort fee” or “facilities fee” on a hotel bill? These vague fees can bump up a nightly rate by $20 to $50 or more. You’re being charged for anything from WiFi to the use of the hotel hot tubs or pools. At a Colonial Properties cabin rental, all charges are clearly outlined upfront. That WiFi, the hot tub, the pool? Included!
