Hot Tub* 9 Miles to Great Smoky Mtn National Park

ShwetaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a great time in the cabin. The host was very responsive and gave us clear instructions about the Airbnb and gave us an hour free checkout. We had a great time with the jacuzzi too. Just that we didn’t get any bodywash, that we usually expect in the Airbnb so we had to buy our own. Jacuzzi is open and faces towards the highway. The bed was way near the wooden ceiling and i think we kind of hit our head 3/4 times💀. Other than that we had an amazing stay. Peaceful at night and cozy.

ChristopherRating, 5 stars5 months ago
It was a beautiful cabin decorated for Christmas. We stay the week of Christmas 2024 and their was 12 of us, 6 kids and 6 adults. The cabin worked wonderful for us. It was large enough with the upstairs and the basement that each of my family had their own space to relax. The fireplace worked wonderfully, the kids and grandkids enjoyed s'mores over the fire. It was a true pleasure to relax and enjoy family. The weather was also excellent, we could stay out on the back deck and enjoy the views of all the mountains.

SmokyMtnTop-Sunset Serenade-pool-5min Dollywood

YevgeniyRating, 5 stars9 months ago
This is a great place! Simultaneously isolated and close to everything. It feels like a cabin , but you are in the middle of Pigeon Forge within 3 min. Close to Gatlinburg as well. It's an older place, but very clean with great amenities and multiple balconies. Kitchen had everything, unlike some other places we stayed. Very nice gas grill outside, we use it daily. We enjoyed watching birds and hummingbird, as Brian and Teresa provided food for the bird feeders. I worked remotely during my stay, and wi-fi worked great. Free Dollywood fireworks nightly, although slightly obstructed. Sometimes there are some noise from Dollywood rollercoaster, but it's not a problem if you are running around during a day.

Remodeled Raised Ranch

AshleyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Enjoyed staying here for second year in a row. We stayed as two couples, but there is a third bedroom. Above all very clean and nice. Hosts are super! Neighborhood is quiet. Great porch, we didn’t have time to use this time but lovely suburban backyard. Easy in and out of neighborhood. Close proximity to shopping and dining. The driveway is steep in the car, but level getting in and out so was perfect for my mom. One of the parking spots is covered. Split level with lots of living space to gather. Comfortable bed. Good closet space for hanging clothes. All’s taken care of for you. Feels right at home.

Kevin's house is charming and has all the amenities we could ask for. The neighborhood is full of other beautiful homes and the location is very convenient to historic downtown. We stayed with mixed family for a wedding weekend and we had plenty room to spread out with privacy but also plenty of room to hang out together in the common areas. All in all a great stay!

Your guide to Knoxville

Welcome to Knoxville

Knoxville is equal parts urban life and outdoor adventure, a fusion you might only find in a metropolis that sits just out of reach of the Smoky Mountains. Dubbed “Scruffy City” decades ago when it was chosen as the site for the 1982 World’s Fair, the nickname has stuck — and Knoxville has embraced being the weird, artsy cousin to Nashville’s more polished veneer. As you drive into Knoxville on Interstate-40, the 266-foot-tall Sunsphere, one of the relics of the World’s Fair, shines like a beacon, letting you know that you have, in fact, arrived in Tennessee’s third-largest city.

A university town with a massive student population, Knoxville has a youthful vibe, with plenty of art installations and indie shops. The food scene, too, is pulsing, as is the craft beer — more than 20 breweries now call Knoxville home. Hikers, bikers, and those who simply like to exist outdoors often flock to the city due to its waterfront perch (the Tennessee River divides the campus and downtown from South Knoxville, or SoKno) and the fact that it boasts more than 100 miles of paved greenways and trails. The city’s lower cost of living compared to its neighbors draws creative entrepreneurs who want to try something new, which means that with each visit to Knoxville you’re likely to discover something completely unique, off the wall, or both.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Knoxville

With Tennessee’s relatively mild climate, May through October are prime months for enjoying Knoxville, the summer in particular if you plan to take advantage of the city’s many water features. The golden falls of East Tennessee are gorgeous, with the leaves peaking in mid-October each autumn. Spring, however, may very well be the best time to visit Knoxville for those who love both art and flowers. Every April, downtown Knoxville is awash in color with the annual weekend-long Dogwood Arts Festival and the multi-day Chalk Walk art competition on Market Square.


Top things to do in Knoxville

Ijams Nature Center

A 315-acre compound spanning gardens, a natural bird sanctuary, and the spring-fed Mead’s Quarry, Ijams is a prime spot to while away an afternoon swimming, canoeing, kayaking, or paddleboarding. If you want to get your heart rate up, test your balance at the Navitat adventure park, whose tree-based terrain spans bridge crossings, tunnels, rolling barrels, nets, and zip lines.

Ale Trail

Craft beer lovers will be eager to sip their way through Knoxville’s various homegrown brews. The Ale Trail links more than two dozen craft breweries and taprooms with a passport that encourages you to visit all of them safely and get rewarded for your efforts. The Knox Brew Bus is one convenient transportation option to hit up many of the stops along the trail.

Market Square

At the turn of the millennium, many of Market Square’s buildings were vacant or boarded up; today, the area is the epicenter of much of Knoxville’s commerce and tourism. In addition to boasting water features and some excellent restaurants and bars, Market Square houses the verdant Krutch Park with its many sculptures, including the Tennessee Woman Suffrage Memorial statue.
