Creekside Hideaway
Guests keep coming back for the "hot tugs," hot tub tugboats that float on the property's lake and make a great spot for a sunset soak. The cabins and lakeside tiny homes are spotless, with creek and pond views and a quiet, rural feel about 12 miles from downtown Gatlinburg. It suits couples, families and nature lovers who don't mind driving to attractions.
Gatlinburg
Margaritaville Resort Gatlinburg
Guests rave about the multi-head showers and the spot directly across from Anakeesta, where you can walk to downtown attractions or hop the free trolley. Spacious, modern rooms, a spa, a pool slide, and on-site dining suit couples and families with older kids, though light sleepers may find the Parkway busy and some beds firm.
Gatlinburg
Tree Tops Resort
Guests often say the two-bedroom units feel bigger than the photos suggest, and many have a fireplace and a view of the creek. Tree Tops Resort sits on a quiet hillside just off the main drag. It suits families and couples who want an indoor pool, a jacuzzi and easy reach of both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.
Gatlinburg
Touch Of Class - Elk Springs Resort
Guests rave about soaking in the hot tub on the porch while taking in sweeping Smoky Mountain views, and about spotless cabins with kitchens stocked for real cooking. Touch Of Class suits couples on a romantic getaway, families with older kids, and small groups up to eight who want a quiet mountainside base rather than a walk to the Gatlinburg strip.
Gatlinburg
Westgate Smoky Mountain Resort & Water Park
Ask for a top-floor unit and you'll get mountain views worth the climb — the resort is built into a steep hillside about 2 miles from downtown Gatlinburg. Villas have full kitchens, the Southern Comfort restaurant handles dinner, and the indoor water park runs year-round on a separate admission. Best for families with young kids who want a pool day regardless of the weather.
