As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

The Great Smoky Mountains truly is a magical place. This National Park is unlike any other with beautiful vistas, waterfalls, wildlife, and an array of fun activities. Seeing all of the waterfalls, or overlooks might seem like a lofty goal, but once you have been there you know that the place just needs to be explored. We love our national park right here in Tennessee, and when it comes time to leave you simply don’t want to. With so many great places to stay, you don’t have to. There is however one night stay that has a unique once-in-a-lifetime feel to it. Have you ever slept in a mountain top cabin in Tennessee? Thanks to the LeConte Lodge, we can enjoy a stay at one of the best national park hotels in the US.

The LeConte Lodge sits 6,360 feet above sea level, so it is safe to say this is a mountain top experience.

They have no running water or electricity but these rustic cabins are not without their amenities.
The cabins offer simplicity and functionality. They are rustic and remind us of simple times, all well providing a warm bed to sleep in.
Joni H./ Tripadvisor
These simple structures offer a place of solitude and relaxation. The quiet and calm lodging offered on top of Mount LeConte allow time to slow down and enjoy the little things. Spend time together without distractions or a long list of things to check off. Getting into deeper conversations with loved ones or sharing this experience with others makes these cabins special.
The LeConte Lodge has a dining hall where they serve their guests breakfast and dinner.
