The Benefits of Staying in a Cabin vs. a Hotel in the Smoky Mountains

Planning a vacation in The Great Smoky Mountains can be complicated. Deciding on the place to stay that fits you and your party is a big decision. Do you pick a cabin or a hotel? So how do you know what’s best for you? There’s really only ever one right answer! Staying in a cabin makes an amazing difference in your vacation and here are five reasons why.

1. All Of The Amenities

If you’re interested in soaking in a hot tub, swimming laps in a pool or rocking on your back porch with a beautiful mountain view then you’ll want to book a cabin. Staying in a hotel will provide views of town and maybe a cramped indoor pool —  if you’re lucky. A log cabin in the Smokies is a place for relaxing and having all of the amenities you need to make yourself comfortable during your stay.

2. More For Your Money

With all of the amenities coming your way when you stay in a cabin it should come as no surprise that you will get more for your money when you stay in a cabin. You’ll have more space, more freedom to enjoy yourself and the ability to come back to your own space every night, a feature that you shouldn’t take for granted when choosing where to spend your vacation this year.

3. Gorgeous Views

As previously mentioned, if you stay in a hotel in town that’s what you’ll get — town views. On the other hand, if you choose to spend your time in the mountains, away from the hustle and bustle of town, you’ll also be spending time away from those cramped views and with breathtaking panoramic scenery from your own back porch. If nothing else could convince you that a cabin is the way to go, know that this aspect will change your whole experience.

4. A Ton Of Options

When you visit a new place one thing you can count on is knowing that the hotel is probably going to look just like every other hotel you’ve ever stayed in. Contrastingly, staying in a cabin will be a new and exciting experience. In some cabins you’ll get to play in their arcade or watch a movie in a personal, home theater, while in others you can swim in the pool or kick back in the sauna. 

5. Privacy

For most vacationers, the last thing you want to do is wake up in the middle of the night to the sound of strangers hosting a loud party. Instead, you can count on the peaceful silence you’ll experience in your own space with no noisy neighbors to disturb you. Sit out each morning and evening in peace and quiet while you sip on a hot beverage and read your favorite book.
