Whenever it comes time to plan the annual family vacation, or if you’re just looking to get away for a brief respite from everyday life and the daily grind, you want to be sure that your choice is going to be a memorable one. For those of you who vacation in the Smokies, or have before, careful planning in a couple of key departments can make or break a trip. Lets take a look at some top Pigeon Forge cabin rentals you might want to check on when planning your trip.

Every year, anywhere from 5-10 million people come through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. A number just want to see the park, its beautiful views and vistas, then speed straight out of town… Or they live within a short day’s drive of the park. Still, of those millions, countless stay overnight in Pigeon Forge and the Smoky Mountain towns of Gatlinburg, Townsend, and Sevierville where the cabin rental business has taken on a life of its own. Most of these cabin rental properties sit atop majestic Smoky Mountain ridges with unparalleled views and come quipped with everything a guest might need, plus a lot more. From theater rooms with pool tables and top-of-the-line video gaming systems to hot tubs perched upon decks overlooking a wondrous fall valley, these Pigeon Forge cabins have it all and offer customer service second to none in the area.

Here is our Top 5 Pigeon Forge cabin rentals, and an overview of their offerings:

1. Sugar Maple Cabins – When you hear someone talk about a recent stay in a Sugar Maple Cabin, the words “beautiful”, “great views”, “countless amenities”, and “memorable trip” usually come up in conversation. These Pigeon Forge cabins are located throughout town in a variety of resorts and locales. Sugar Maple also offers a number of secluded cabins, pet-friendly cabins, and large group rentals.
2. The Preserve Resort – Located high atop a ridge in the Wears Valley area, The Preserve Resort is THE resort if you’re looking for 360-degree, panoramic views of the Smoky Mountains and Pigeon Forge, TN. The cabins at the Preserve offer a number of amenities from hot tubs to pool tables and everything in between. Once you stay at the Preserve, you’ll never want to leave the resort.
3. Majestic Mountain Vacations – Like Sugar Maple, Majestic’s cabin properties are spread out all across Pigeon Forge and Sevier County. And with amenities that stretch the gamut of entertainment at most, what sets these apart are the number of wooded-area rentals. You’ll find cabins that back up to a mountain stream and some that situated away from other rentals so as to preserve your getaway’s peace and tranquility.
4. Sherwood Forest Resort – Looking for a place to stay in the Smokies but still close enough to enjoy the attractions, shopping, and restaurants of the Parkway in Pigeon Forge? Sherwood Forest Resort is the answer. These cabins are literally just steps off the Parkway and within a short driving distance to Dollywood and Tanger Five Oaks Outlet mall.
5. Legacy Mountain Resort – Another Pigeon Forge resort located atop one of the area’s most scenic ridges. The views from Legacy Mountain Resort are jaw-dropping to say the least. Each cabins features its share of amenities and a view to match.

“We love to stay at the Hemlock Hills Cabins! They are absolutely luxurious and comfortable at the same time!”

“When visiting Pigeon Forge and traveling via the RV lifestyle one of the best campgrounds to visit is the RiverEdge Campground . It close enough to everything and far enough out that you do not feel crowded and as anyone knows that has an RV you cannot go wrong in a crowd of other campers.”

“There are lots of places to stay at great prices for the family, but for us big groups, we like to stay in the chalets. We stay at several chalets that are together and each troop has their own. That way we can cook some meals in and eat some meals out. They also enjoy the pool table, hot tub, and other things in the chalets.”

“If you are traveling to Pigeon Forge in a camper then I have a tip for you! We stayed at Creekside RV Park last year and we really liked it. Their website is http://www.creeksidervpark.com

The sites are kind of tight and may not be easy to get into. Other than that we liked the park. There are some sites on Walden Creek which runs behind the campground. There is a small playset for the children and also a basketball goal. There is a grassy area next to the creek where you can walk.

The trolley also picks up in this campground — directly from your site. You will have to transfer to another trolley at the main station but at least it gets you there.

This campground is not on the main strip so it is much quieter. Also, not far from the campground (about 18 miles) are some beautiful caverns that we visited. You use the same road that the campground is on to get there, IIRC. Here is the website: http://www.tuckaleecheecaverns.com”

“When taking a large group – rent a cabin instead of getting several motel rooms. I am a youth leader at my church, and at least once a year we take our youth (teenagers) to a religious convention in Gatlinburg, but we stay in Pigeon Forge. We have found that it is a much better idea to rent one cabin for 20 people rather than rent 5 motel rooms (cheaper too). The view from the cabins is awesome, and people are not one on top of the other. There are a lot of little spots were you can walk to and reflect on the world around you. Instead of going out for all our meals we have a big kitchen, and a grill, instead of spending a lot of time wondering around trying to entertain everyone, we get a cabin with a game room, hot tub, and tv/vcr/dvd players. This allows the youth to have their own space, but we don’t have to worry as much about where they are at. We rent the cabin from Hidden Mountain Resorts, we have stayed in two different ones and both were very nice, and the staff was wonderful.”

“We rent the largest mountain cabin and everyone splits the cost; we usually spend $15 per night…that’s a great deal! Besides, this is the best way to spend quality time with family and friends that you haven’t seen in a while. Saving on accommodation expenses lets you enjoy all the attractions and events that Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg has to offer.”

“We especially enjoyed National Parks Resort Lodge, Schular Inn, and Smokey Shadows in Pigeon Forge. In Gatlinburg we like to stay at Midtown Lodge. It’s right on the strip. We also stayed at Gatlinburg Inn, which is nice if you don’t have children. They are pretty picky about things…they wont let you bring in any food from the outside. So, no pizza or leftovers please. But it is a beautiful and very well maintained Inn. And the women that run it are wonderful. We faithfully used to stay at Ledwell Motel at stop light #8 in Gatlinburg but it has been bought out by Sidney James. We have not been back but I am sure it is just as nice as before. We just took that opportunity to try some new places. We were very fond of the owners of The Ledwell and the way it was maintained. I guess were afraid it won’t be the same…crazy I know. Any of the cabin rentals are a good bet. They are all so nice. We rented from Cove Mountain. There cabins are located anywhere from 10-20 minutes from Pigeon Forge. They are really nice and they don’t charge you all of the crazy fees that most of them do.”

“We have stayed at Riverside Motor Lodge during these visits and have loved it there. The rooms are very clean and the service is great. Most of the rooms have a jacuzzi in the room and a fireplace, and the decor is not just the run of the mill motel drab. It is “homey” and very nice. It is located right in the middle of Parkway and is within walking distance of just about everything. The prices are very reasonable and even a lot less than some of the local places, even though they offer so much. There is a swimming pool also. Be sure to stay there if you go to Pigeon Forge. You will not be sorry.”

“We very seldom book our hotel room in advance . My tip would be to go there when there are no major events going on, and you’d be sure to find reasonably priced accommodation.”

“We have stayed at the Mountain Breeze Motel during most of our trips. It’s clean and the rates are reasonable, and it’s nice sitting on the balcony at night watching all the traffic go by. You can get some great deals online, and from coupon books, some even give you free nights if you stay so many days.”

“We make a reservation at one of the beautiful cabins, my favorite was the cabins at Mountain Top. Beautiful views and close to everything.”
