A Mobile Massage That Comes to Your Cabin
If you’re comfortably settled in at your luxurious Smoky Mountain Cabin, you may not want to leave the mountain views behind to go downtown, and you may not want to get a massage and then have to drive home. The good news is that you don’t have to – with Gatlinburg Mobile Massage, you can order a massage to be brought right into your cabin or on the deck. The service offers multiple spa treatments, customized to suit you. All you do is stay in the cabin and they bring it all to you.
Hydrotherapy Massage
In Gatlinburg, that highly walkable town, another option for those aching feet and for a marvelous pick-me-up in a short time is a hydrotherapy massage at one of two locations in town. This is Aqua Massage, featuring a water-based massage bed – you stay dry and clothed (shoes off only) and get a 15-minute vibration massage that feels like a 1-hour manual massage. The technology has been around for several years, and is acclaimed by people who use this fast and efficient service. You can find Spa to Go in the Mountain Mall on Parkway and their sister operation, Relaxation Oasis, at the Shops at Ober, also on Parkway, at the base of the Ober Mountain Tramway.

More massage services in the area can be found in some of the resorts – which you don’t need to stay at to book a massage – and these include the RiverStone Resort & Spa and the Spa at Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort, both in Pigeon Forge. In Gatlinburg there is the Serenity Spa in the Westgate Resort.
