Cabin rentals with a hot tub

Rustic Log Cabin with hot tub and fire pit
Beautiful cabin. We had a wonderful time up in the Smokies! The cabin was close to so many fun things; zip lining, rafting, mountain biking, and the national park. The hot tub and fire pit offered a relaxing end to our busy days. The host was attentive and answered all of our questions in a timely manner.

Amazing Views! Log cabin with hot tub + fire pit
Although we didn’t see any bears me and my friend enjoyed our stay. There was a trail not far for the Airbnb that we chose to hike on our first actual day there and we enjoyed the hot tub after a very strenuous hike. I would 100% book at this Airbnb again.

Deck & Hot Tub: Bryson City Riverfront Cabin!
This was our 5th time staying at this cabin specifically, & we love it more & more every time. The space is always so clean, the area is always so quiet. We love the hot tub & being right on the water. Lots of wildlife to see also! This is a perfect get away & we are already planning our 6th trip here. 5 stars all around!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Deep Creek Overlook
Amazing views! We enjoyed our stay in Bruce’s private and clean cabin. We appreciated the light breeze and quietness while hanging out on the porch. The cabin was still close enough to town to enjoy the restaurants, breweries and shopping. We were also able to explore other towns in the area with a short drive. Great communication with the host, Bruce.

Flirtin Around with your sweetie! - Hot Tub
Great place to stay! It was a very peaceful & relaxing cabin. I appreciated the detail to the kitchen essentials. It made it easy for grilling & cooking. Responsive hosts. I look forward to returning.

Spotted Rock Cabin - Hot Tub - Brevard
If you're looking for a serene getaway, this mountain cabin is an absolute gem! Nestled in a breathtaking natural setting, it offers stunning views, fresh mountain air, and a true sense of peace. The cabin itself is so adorable—rustic and and cozyl. The outdoor space is just as impressive, with a spacious deck perfect for morning coffee or stargazing at night. Whether you're hiking the nearby trails, relaxing in the hot tub, or simply enjoying the quiet surroundings, this cabin provides the ultimate retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The hosts were incredibly welcoming, ensuring everything was ready for a comfortable stay. Kitchen is a little small but plenty of great restaurants in Brevard right down the road. If you're searching for a place to unwind and reconnect with nature, this mountain cabin is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

Pet-friendly cabin rentals

Creekside family/pet friendly cabin.
As always, we LOVED our stay at Uncle Joe’s Cabin. This place is a little slice of heaven and this trip was exactly what our family needed. Our 4 kids always love playing in the creek and I loved napping on the porch listening to the creek and the rain. The cabin itself is so cozy and peaceful and the surroundings are simply beautiful! It’s the ideal location for a laid back, relaxing vacation full of family time!

Couples Cozy Cabin
It was a beautiful place, not too far away from Clayton, so you can explore, shop, and eat in Clayton while being far enough away to feel that you are actually in a cabin in the mountains and not just a cabin-style home.

Dogwood at Falling Waters
Such a beautiful and peaceful cabin tucked a way with a lot of hiking close by. The cabin was rustic, clean, and just as described/pictured. My boyfriend and I did a couple of nice hikes including Looking Glass Rock Trail as suggested by Lucas. Greg/Lucas were very accommodating and responsive.

Rustic Hideaway | Log Cabin | Pet Friendly | Cozy & Private
After an extremely difficult year, my family and I needed this getaway. We could not have been more happy with Marc’s rustic hideaway! It felt cozy, extremely at home, and all of us wanted to stay longer! We actually enjoyed it so much that my husband and I did indeed stay an extra night! If we are back in the area, this will be the first place that we check to stay!

#1 Cabin -Waterfall Retreat-Near Tallulah Gorge
Mike and Tammy were excellent at communicating with us and making sure we felt comfortable in our cabin! We loved cabin 1 and were in love with the little loft! We will definitely be back.

25 acres, Pet friendly, creek, hot tub
We really enjoyed our stay. The place was in a beautiful location with so many thoughtful details. It had everything needed for a relaxing night in while still being close to local sites. Soaking in the hot tub under the stars while listening to the sound of the creek was truly serene. We would have loved to stay longer and hope to visit again!

Dog-friendly cabin w/ views, HOT TUB, game room
We had an amazing stay at Jennifer’s cabin. It was a beautiful secluded mountain stay but close to Bryson City’s breweries, restaurants, and the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad. Spent our days mostly on the trails, but the game room is well equipped if you encounter any rainy days or just want to stay close to home. Would definitely recommend!

Creek Front - Trail Nut Cabin at Moody Hollow
Wonderful cabin with great character and rustic charm. We stayed with our boys 10 & 12, they loved that their beds were in the separate area downstairs with their own bathroom and fridge, it made them feel like they had their own space. They had a great time playing in the creek! We are avid campers/hikers, this was exactly what we had in mind. It is very rustic but this was a plus for us, really gives you that mountain/camping vibe. Anything we needed to cook with was available in the kitchen. Beds were comfy, and wifi worked well. All of the decorations were really cool to check out and added to that genuine rustic feeling. If you're looking for a rustic cabin feel, this is the place for you.

Brookes Place Great Smoky Mtns 2 King beds Hot tub
Brooke's place is an absolute gem of a find. From the location to the actual cabin everything was perfect. The drive to the cabin can look a bit steep but it is very manageable. The cabin itself is gorgeous. The rooms and bathrooms were very spacious and clean. The fireplace kept us warm all day and is a nice touch to the ambiance. Kitchen had all new ceramic pots and pans and all the small ware you need. Only suggestion would be to have some more comfortable chairs by the fire pit outside. We will back for sure.

Lazy Bear Cabin with Gameroom access
This place is how the pictures show. The kitchen has the necessary items that we needed for our stay. The bedrooms are spacious as is the rest of the cabin. There is plenty of room in the kitchen/living room area so you don't feel cramped . The views are beautiful (especially Fall time). The driveway is steep and that isn't mentioned in the listing when you book it. I would recommend this cabin and would stay again. Kristine was very responsive and allowed us to add on an extra day as well.

Climbing Bear Creekside Cabin
We loved our stay at Greg’s cabin! The location is beautiful and the cabin was very clean and comfortable, it looked just like the pictures. There is a nice stream right next to the cabin and we enjoyed the fire pit and the hot tub. It was also only about a 10 minute drive to the casino, which was very convenient for the event we were attending. We would definitely stay here again!

Chattooga Lakefront Cabin w/ Hot Tub + Pvt. Dock!
From start to finish, our stay at Moniques cabin was nothing short of amazing. Joann/Monique, is an outstanding and incredibly responsive host—warm, thoughtful, and accommodating, even when we had last-minute changes. Her kindness and engaging conversation made the experience feel even more personal and memorable. The cabin itself is spectacular, with breathtaking views of the lake and a perfect blend of rustic charm and elegant touches. Every detail is thoughtfully considered—from the fully stocked kitchen to the array of activities right at your fingertips. Whether you’re relaxing by the water, cooking up a meal, or just taking in the peaceful surroundings, everything you need is right there. This place is a true gem and an ideal retreat for all ages. It’s rare to find a stay where both the host and the setting are equally lovely. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind, reconnect, or simply enjoy a beautiful piece of the world.

Beautiful mountain view, hot tub, pet friendly
This was by far the best Airbnb stay me and my partner have had. The host was extremely accommodating even when our plans had to change due to weather the host helped us out, the view was amazing and the hot tub was also super nice. The bed was comfortable and we slept really well and the place was right near the Smokey mountain national park and other amazing places and trails to visit. Will definitely be coming back for another stay!
