Great Smoky Mountain Cabins & Lodging

With the close proximity of Gatlinburg to the Smoky Mountains National Park’s entrance, visitors have a nearly endless array of options for dining, smoky mountain cabins, and entertainment to enhance their visit. The Great Smoky Mountains, a range of the Blue Ridge Mountains, are so named because they are usually covered by a smoky mist or haze. Considered to be among the highest and most rugged mountains in the Appalachian system, the Smoky Mountains are thickly forested with more than 200 species of trees. The trees help create a dense, humid atmosphere that looks from afar like a smoky mist. The natural beauty of these mountains makes it no surprise that many visitors to Gatlinburg come looking for a smoky mountain cabin.

The Smoky Mountains form the boundary between Tennessee and North Carolina. The highest peak is Clingman's Dome (6,643 feet). The range features seven other peaks that top the 6,000-foot mark.

In 1930, much of the area was made into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Today, it is America's most visited national park with more than 9,000,000 visitors each year.
