Everything about this cabin croons romance for two. It’s hard to deny the appeal of a heart-shaped jacuzzi, and an outdoor hot tub evening under the stars is the stuff of soft-lit movies.
There’s even a two-person swing on the porch! All of which makes the woodland setting almost immaterial, though it too is amazing!

The resort location means you have access to a communal pool. But you probably won’t need it, because you have a private jetted tub in your cabin.

Best Rustic Pigeon Forge Home Rental
Location: Pigeon Forge
Superhost: Yes
Airbnb Plus: No
Price: $162 USD+ per night
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/4701330
Some may argue that a cabin is a cabin, but this one feels slightly more rustic – earthy if you will. Maybe it’s because the staircase to the top floor feels anachronistic and functional, lifting to form an archway over the kitchen area.
The wood-burning fireplace and the kitchen dining table also feel old-school. Then there’s the rocking chair outside on the porch. But don’t think it’s all outdated. A jetted tub, jacuzzi, fast Wi-Fi, large TV, and well-fitted kitchen provide for all your modern needs.

Airbnb Plus: No
Price: $103 USD+ per night
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/40756348
The hosts insist that Sugar Shack is a great name for this cabin, it being “sweet, cute and quaint.” They’re not wrong. They’ve kept it simple with an open plan living space, full kitchen, and a welcoming basic feel.
But they have added a few super-sweet amenities, like both a jetted tub and hot tub. And the arched roof adds volumes of space and air to the entire cabin. Best of all, the sunset view from the deck is an absolute stunner!

Guest Review: ”The Sugar Shack was everything my girlfriend and I dreamed it to be for her birthday weekend. Great amenities (hot tub, fire stick, nice bed). It’s like they always say, “The Sugar Shack’s got your back!”
11) The Kabin. Your Home Away From Home
Location: Pigeon Forge
Superhost: Yes
Airbnb Plus: No
Price: $82 USD+ per night
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/18593136
Though this authentic log-built cabin (sorry, Kabin) was built as three levels, you’ll have the entire middle (ground) level to yourself. Not to worry, no one else will be there, as the other levels are not in use. Still, it’s a great option for a couple watching their budget.
Close to everything, with a lived-in, homely feel, the deck has a small seating arrangement looking over woods. So you’ll feel slightly secluded, even though you’re just a few minutes from the main Parkway.

Guest Review: ”Great place for a great value! Close to the main road but enough out of the way to enjoy some peace and quiet!”
12) Bear Bottoms
Location: Pigeon Forge
Superhost: No
Airbnb Plus: No
Price: $112 USD+ per night
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/39391424
The folks in Pigeon Forge seem to embody the fun and bubbly spirit of Dolly Parton herself. Bear Bottoms is just another hilarious example of the area’s many quirky names. This 700-foot suite comes with the requisite hot tub, big TV, and fireplace… but it also has an old-style arcade game, for oddities’ sake!
PS: If you like bears, you’ll enjoy the decor. Bears. Bears everywhere! Stuffed bears, bear ornaments, posters, and notices about bears. Even a bear lamp shade. Perhaps the best bear-themed Airbnb Tennessee Cabin we’ve ever seen.

Location: Sevierville
Superhost: Yes
Airbnb Plus: No
Price: $146 USD+ per night
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/28487387
Resort living has its advantages, notably the use of a resort’s fine luxury facilities. But this cabin itself is a top drawer for up to 8 guests. The kitchen has a few extra touches for those who fancy their hand at proper cheffing. The bedrooms have king beds, gorgeous views, a jacuzzi, and a hot tub.
But the top deck is where you want to spend your days. The cathedral arched ceiling makes space for the pool table, while a huge window wall with doors just lights up the place with all the sun you can imagine.

Another alternative location near Pigeon Forge in Williamsburg, just 3 miles east (Not to be confused with (Williamsburg, Virginia). This is a great Airbnb near Dollywood, and luxury is the name of the game over several floors, including a games room with foosball, pool, and air hockey.

15) Majestic Mountain Memories
Location: Williamsburg
Superhost: Yes
Airbnb Plus: No
Price: $150 USD+ per night
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/23958680
Views all around! That’s the big sell for this lovely two-story cabin. There’s a huge deck to enjoy a BBQ if you like. But there’s also a fine indoor living space, a jetted tub for two, and a loft area that kids might enjoy as a bedroom. That is if they don’t like the secret “cub’s den” under the stairs.
There’s a nice touch for movie lovers – watch one of the many DVDs available on a 100-inch screen with sound surround – the ultimate home movie experience, perhaps, for date night?

Location: Pigeon Forge (Wears Valley)
Superhost: Yes
Airbnb Plus: No
Price: $152 USD+ per night
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/32811820
Head south-west to an area called Wears Valley for a bit of isolation. You’re also likely to encounter a bear popping in for a visit. In between them, the relaxing sounds of a waterfall right by the cabin will dissipate any stress. Walk around three decked sides to enjoy a sunset from the upper level, too.
The hosts have kindly provided tons of activities to occupy you and your kids. Arcade games, A Wii, two home theater systems. And if that’s still not enough, how about access to Honeysuckle Meadows Pool and Deli? Few other Airbnb, Tennessee cabins on the list can beat that.

Location: Pigeon Forge
Superhost: Yes
Airbnb Plus: No
Price: $132 USD+ per night
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/43390220
Finally, something a little unusual (even for Pigeon Forge). It’s a tiny house that’s not quite as tiny as it seems, able to accommodate up to six. It’s really all about efficient use of space, and the all-white aesthetic really appeals to the eye.
Mill Creek is just outside, the living space is tight and cozy, and you really have everything you need for a comfortable rest after a day of revelling in all that Pigeon Forge has to offer.

Guest Review: “We absolutely loved our stay! The tiny house was very clean, had fantastic amenities/design choices/floorplan, and is in a prime location for ease of access to local attractions.”
