We are avid hikers and have explored many different places in Tennessee and beyond but we are always thankful to be living in such a glorious state.

When it comes to vacations in Tennessee, one of the number one places (not just for me and my family), is the Great Smoky Mountains region. There are so many great places to stay and a plethora of great attractions, so it’s no wonder this part of Tennessee is just booming with accommodations. So if you plan on taking a trip to the Smokies here are some of the best vacation rentals in Sevierville, Tennessee, to check out and make the most of your mountainous adventure!
Staying in The Log Castle is one of those awesome bucket list places you just need to explore as soon as you find out about it. On the outside, the place looks like a castle, but step inside and you will be blown away by the stunning exposed wood design of a log cabin. Fine woodworking and regal details are found throughout the property, from a wooden throne to beautiful wooden furnishing. Bring your family and friends or keep the whole place to yourself as a romantic getaway, but a trip to the Log Castle will not disappoint.
Welcome to the Open-Air Barndominium! This unique spot is located on a flower farm called River & Roots. Not only is it set in a beautiful location, but the barn itself is stunning. Sleek and modern stylings meet farmhouse in a big open concept is what you can expect when you book a night. The farm is also right next to the Sevierville Golf Club, so not only do you get the bright colors of the greens but you will have fantastic mountains looming in the background. Many attractions in Sevierville and the surrounding towns are only minutes away, too, like the famous Soaky Mountain Waterpark.
You might have realized by now that there are plenty of unique options when it comes to lodging in Sevierville, TN. But the Tiny Hobbit House of Dragons ranks among the most unique. This "Lord of the Rings" inspired house brings you deeper into the fantasy of Middle Earth made famous by J.R.R. Tolkien. Little touches all throughout the property harken back to the whimsical world of hobbits, elves, and fearsome winged beasts. Dragons are depicted all over this tiny house alongside fun nods to Tolkien’s universe. This isn't the only hobbit-inspired tiny house on the property either -- there are several completely different themes and designs all found within the Mountain Shire. If you love mythical creatures then you will love the cryptid-themed restaurant down the road: Bigfoot Philly Cheesesteak. Pair this medieval stay with a fairy tale hike to Alum Cave in the Smokies to round out a fantastic adventure.
Everyone knows that Dolly Parton is the Queen of Tennessee, so it's only fitting that she has a castle. Well, not quite but this clever condo is designed to look just like a medieval castle and I have to say the results are pretty convincing. When you arrive it might seem more like something you would have found a couple hundred years ago in a European countryside. Inside, modern furnishings give guests everything they need in a vacation rental. If you are looking to do something a little bit different for your trip, head down the road to Forbidden Caverns. With dynamic lighting and stunning formations, this will be a great paring with a stay in Dolly’s Castle.
Who doesn’t love a good treehouse? Owl’s Nest Treehouse gives guests a bird's eye view of the Smoky Mountain region. The forests in this part of Tennessee are quite spectacular, so being surrounded by them is a dream come true. Prepare to be amazed by just how much space there is in this "tiny" treehouse. Relax on the porch, soak in the hot tub, or just hang out in this cozy place when it's raining. Owl’s Nest can sleep up to four people so it is the perfect place to bring your family and find some rest at the foot of the Great Smoky Mountains.
The mountains in this area tend to inspire people to get as close to nature as possible. So why not try a little glamping in this Luxurious Covered Wagon? Part of Tennessee’s history is all about exploring unknown regions and trekking through the mountains. So if you want to get a taste of the pioneer life, this is your chance. However, these are the wagons early settlers wish they had. With a comfy bed, bunk beds, air conditioning, and even a coffee maker, you will be living in, well, luxury. The Conestoga Wagons aren’t the only unique stay in the Smoky Hollow Outdoor Resort -- they also have tipis, yurts, and a cabin if any of those tickle your fancy.
Historic little churches dot our Tennessean landscape and bring a distinct charm to our state. So seeing a cabin take on the same design is enough to warm any Southerner’s heart. Book a trip to The Chapel and you will find a comfortable cabin that can sleep up to six. You may want to clear some time on your vacation because this cabin comes with its own private pool! I would also recommend venturing out because The Chapel is conveniently located near many attractions like Dollywood and The Great Smoky Mountain National Park. If historical churches interest you (same!), make sure you take a trip to Cades Cove where there are two protected churches: the old Methodist Church and the old Baptist Church. Located in Townsend is also Townsend Abbey, a wedding chapel that's been converted into a restaurant.
Smoky Mountains Glamping is a 140-acre farm complete with four lovely Glamping Domes and a tiny house. Not only are these little domes incredibly cute, but they function as a fun way to stay in Sevierville, Tennessee. Drift off to sleep gazing at the stars -- there are huge viewing windows looking out at the spectacular show every night. There is an attached porch where guests can have a fire or grill up a delicious dinner. Close by, you can spend the day exploring the lovely little town of Cosby (it's especially lovely in the fall) or take a trip to Foxfire Mountain Adventure Park.
Log cabins are a big part of the history of the Appalachian Mountains and all around the Smokies, you can find impeccably preserved one-room cabins throughout the forest. It has always amazed me to think of people living off the land and having large families all nestled into these little dwellings. That very history is why you will see so many cabin rentals in Sevierville, TN. Although these cabins pay homage to the mountain men of the past, many boast a long list of modern amenities so you will be far from "roughing it." The Bear Pool Cabin sits among million-dollar homes and has especially spectacular views from the porch. Downstairs you will find a heated indoor pool and a sauna; outside there's a hot tub for relaxing, so you might not even want to leave once you check in. The cabin also features a game room, a king-sized bed, plus twin bunk beds for the kids. Use this as a romantic getaway or bring your family for a week of great activities on the popular Parkwaythat's filled with attractions.
Nestled in a pleasant forested area, you will find the lovely Falling Leaf Retreat. This studio barn pays respects to the rich farming history with its an open-concept living space. Loaded with everything you would need for a week-long stay -- from a stocked kitchen to a comfy king-sized bed -- it's the perfect place to slow down and spend some quality time with your family. Come, stay, have a fire at night, relax in the sauna, or play a game of air hockey -- you won't run out of things to do here! Nearby, of course, you can take a trip into the Great Smoky Mountains with a scenic drive on the Foothills Parkway or lace up your boots for a hike to one of the prettiest waterfalls in the park, Laurel Fall.
