Mtn VIEWS! Close to Dollywood +Hot tub, Pool table
A big Thank You to Courtney and Brandon for a wonderful stay. The cabin was clean and had plenty of space. So much to do right there without even leaving. We really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub.. The view from every deck was spectacular and everything we needed on this vacation.

Spectacular Great Smokey Mountains Views
Driving up the road to the place was a little different especially at night. But we did get used to it. The nest was beautifully appointed with great decorations that made you feel like you were in a cabin. The place was outstanding, one of the better hosts that I’ve ever had interaction with. A few things that I would add to the property but all in all everything that you really need. The Wi-Fi was a little spotty as I was trying to do some work. Great location in Maggie Valley so close to so many things. If you definitely want to be up in the mountains with outstanding views, this is the place for you. The newly added outdoor fireplace was great to have.

The Great Outdoors
We had a great stay and Anthony was an excellent host. The overall process was very smooth and easy to get to. Appreciate Anthony being proactive in communications and checking in. Beautiful views and very quiet/peceful. Would defintiely stay there again.

Jewel in the Skye
Absolutely beautiful home! I loved doing my morning yoga in the sunroom with the perfect view of the mountains. My husband and I spent a lot of time outside on the patio and nearby hiking trail, then relaxed on the couch to watch the sunset. Thank you for beautiful, peaceful getaway!

Shooting Star Ridge
We had a wonderful stay! The home was spotless and well-maintained, with a beautiful mountain view that made every morning feel special. The location was perfect—peaceful, yet with easy access to everything we needed. The drive up to the cabin is steep in several parts, so just keep that in mind! Our host was incredibly responsive and helpful, which made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

@RusticValleyRetreat CoveMtViews, NatPark&Hot tub!
This was our first foray into the Great Smoky Mountains. Jodi’s cabin was an excellent homebase for our adventures and lots of good family time together. Peaceful, easy, beautiful. Everything we wanted.

RIVERFRONT Retreat with HOT TUB on Nantahala River
We enjoyed our stay 100%! An excellent location, just on the bank of the Nantahala river. A 15-20 min drive to the Blue Ridge Pkwy overlooks, Bryson City. The Fontana Lake Dam is a little longer drive. The terrace, the fireplace and the hot tub are all amazing.

Your guide to Cosby
All About Cosby
In eastern Tennessee's Appalachian range, Cosby is a tranquil gateway to the wilds of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Set amid dense hardwoods and temperate rainforest canopies that are home to deer, black bears, and bobcats, Cosby is a prime jumping-off point to exploring the region’s outdoors. The tiny unincorporated community doesn’t have much in the way of amenities, but you will find a number of quaint cabins in the woods next to nature trails, fire lookout towers, sprawling apple orchards, and easy access to hiking, cycling, and water sports like kayaking and whitewater rafting on the nearby Pigeon River. And if you’re looking for an afternoon of museum hopping and Tennessee-style barbeque, the college town of Knoxville is only an hour away.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Cosby
The climate of the Great Smoky Mountains region is varied and temperate, with four distinct seasons. The summer months have long, sunny days that are hot and humid with regular rainfall in the afternoons that help cool things down a bit. Winter sees a big drop in temperatures, and it regularly gets below freezing with occasional snowfall. The shoulder seasons are a great time to secure a Cosby cabin rental as they tend to be visually stunning with spring wildflower blooms and fall foliage. Though Cosby doesn’t have any festivals to speak of, the surrounding communities have several offerings throughout the year, including the Smoky Mountain Harvest Festival in the nearby town of Pigeon Forge. This 12-week event celebrates all things autumn with pumpkin picking, scarecrows, and seasonal markets.
Top things to do in Cosby
Great Smoky Mountains National Park
With more than a half-million acres and 800 miles of trials, America’s most visited national park packs quite a punch. You could spend a few hours, or a few weeks, exploring its diverse ecologies. Fish for trout in Abrams Creek, search for falcons and warblers on a guided birdwatching tour, or hike through dense forests of hickory, dogwood, and fir.
Knoxville
This vibrant college town is an excellent day trip from Cosby thanks to its historic, 19th-century downtown district with streetside cafes, coffee shops, and museums. Farmers markets scattered about the city during the warmer months provide fresh produce and goods from local growers. And with a strong farm-to-table emphasis on the region's brand of southern cuisine, there is no shortage of culinary options to satiate an appetite after a day of exploring the Smoky Mountains.
Mount Cammerer Lookout Tower
This 11-mile round trip hike begins at the Cosby campground and meanders through dense forests, tracing creeks and running along ridgelines in some of Tennessee's most beautiful country. Eventually, the trail culminates in the historic Mount Cammerer Lookout Tower, with sweeping vistas of the Great Smoky Mountains for miles in every direction. Constructed of stone and timber, visitors can explore the decommissioned tower that once served to spot wildfires in the surrounding region.
