How to Find a Secluded Gatlinburg Cabin
We have many cabins nestled in forested areas in the Smoky Mountains, offering peacefulness and seclusion, with private, wooded views and park-style surroundings.
If you want a quiet retreat in the mountains you may also be looking for the less traveled pathways, and the uncrowded times and places in the Smokies and in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We have you covered for that too, in this page.
See the listings below for our selection of cabins that offer seclusion and park-like settings. And read on for our 9-Step Guide to finding a secluded vacation cabin for your visit.
- The time of year obviously affects the crowds in the area. Off-season is more quiet, and weekdays are less crowded than weekends. See our guide to the Best Time to Visit.
- Winter snow can bring a quiet seclusion to a lot of the area that the bustle of summer takes away.
- The many different resort collections can offer a peaceful setting just by their location - hidden behind a ridge or deep in a forest. See our Resort Descriptions.
- Some resorts have their own walking trails, lakes or ponds, and picnic spots with shade.
- Some resort swimming pools may offer a chance to relax without leaving your location.
- Some of our cabins listed as Offsite can be great finds for seclusion - many are isolated on large acreage, or a little more in the wild.
- Every cabin listing will show the kind of view and setting it's in (Private, Park-Style, etc.).
- If you're on a working retreat, make sure you have good Wi-Fi (most cabins do - but it IS the mountains).
- And if you want to stay in the cabin a lot, see the in-cabin services you can get to cater to you.
- If secluded means you don't want to venture out much, maybe try a cabin with its own indoor swimming pool.
- Some of the Romantic Cabins have a back deck facing a hilly slope or wild terrain, for perfect privacy.
- Some have walking trails.
- See our packages for a Romantic Getaway.
- Getting out of the cabin can continue the sense of seclusion and peacefulness if you know where to go.
- Even in the popular Great Smoky Mountains National Park, there are quiet spots to visit.
- Check out the picnic areas, waterfalls, hiking trails and less-traveled places.
- Learn about the park's Quiet Walkways and very special Nature Trails.
- Not everything is in the national park. With a host of natural attractions in the area, you can find many quiet things to do - see our Guide to Easy Outdoor Adventures.
- And to avoid traffic on your excursions, see our guides to Getting Around and Shortcuts & Back Roads.
- There are some wonderful scenic drives in the area, in the tranquility of your own vehicle - and we have them mapped out for you: Scenic Drives in the Smoky Mountains.
