How to Find an Affordable Cabin

Affordable Cabins in Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge

Step 1. Look for Cabin Discounts.

  • Keep an eye on our Specials page for deals, especially last-minute offers that can save you up to half the cost of regular rates.
  • Follow us on social media, such as Facebook, for real-time updates on new discounts and promotions.
  • Lower rates are often available during off-peak periods or between major holidays, so be flexible with your travel dates.

Step 2. Communicate Your Budget.

  • Our staff is available 24/7 to assist you in finding the cabin that fits your needs and budget.
  • Let us know the size of your group and what you're looking for—we're experts in matching cabins to your preferences.
  • We can help you choose between a tranquil getaway or a lively, activity-filled retreat.
  • Be sure to mention the ages of everyone in your group—many cabins are perfect for multi-generational families, with accommodations for both seniors and children.
  • Tell us if you’d prefer to be close to the bustle of town or the peacefulness of the Smoky Mountains, and we'll recommend cabins that are the best fit for your ideal vacation.

Step 3. Consider the Total Cost of Your Vacation.

  • Cabins offer a fantastic way to reduce your overall vacation expenses.
  • Save money by cooking your own meals in a fully equipped kitchen, and enjoy the flexibility of having snacks and meals on hand at all times.
  • With cabin amenities like game rooms, Wi-Fi, and home theaters, your kids can stay entertained without the need for costly activities or tickets.
  • Cabins with laundry facilities mean that you won't have to spend time and money at a laundromat.
  • The breathtaking views of the Smoky Mountains can be enjoyed right from your cabin, whether from the comfort of a rocking chair or the relaxation of a hot tub.
  • Staying in a cabin allows you to save on transportation, dining, and entertainment, leaving you with more money to explore the local attractions you really want to experience.
  • activities like hiking or sightseeing, many of which are free or low-cost, making for a budget-friendly yet memorable vacation.

Step 4. Focus on "Sleeps" not "Bedrooms".

  • Cabins are often more spacious than you might think, with multiple floors and plenty of room for guests beyond the number of bedrooms.
  • Check under "Amenities" for each cabin listing for number of bedrooms, bathrooms and how many people the cabin will sleep.
  • Look for lofts that double as sleeping areas, bunk beds for kids, and sleeper sofas - queen sleepers are a common feature, and extra dining seating.
  • Consider sharing a larger cabin with family or friends to spread the cost, especially those with expansive layouts.
  • And because of the spacious layout of cabins, no one feels crowded, with nooks to be private and communal areas to gather - see how well 2 families shared one cabin.
  • Example: here's a cabin with 2 bedrooms, but it's rated to sleep 10 people in comfort - and it has an indoor swimming pool!

Step 5. Be Flexible With Your Travel Dates.

  • Consider booking a cabin during the off-season to take advantage of lower rates.
  • Weeknight bookings (Sunday through Thursday nights) are usually less expensive than weekend stays.
  • Cabin rates are usually higher during high-demand periods, like summer holidays (Memorial Day to Labor Day) and major holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas.
  • If possible, travel during the quieter months like January through mid-March when prices are at their lowest.
  • The fall season, particularly late September through early November, is another busy time with the fall foliage in the Smoky Mountains.
  • Watch the breaks between peak seasons, as these lulls often bring discounted cabin prices.

Step 6. Save With Our Exclusive Free Tickets.

  • Each cabin comes with our Trip Cash book of coupons worth over $1,350.
  • No one else offers this deal.
  • These are Free Tickets and discounts for some of the best attractions in the area.
  • And when you return to see us again for another stay, you'll get an automatic 10% discount (as do all military).
  • Also, if you stay 5 nights, the 6th one is on us - that's our deal for you year round!
