2. Cuddle Up by the Fire
If you want to enjoy the view from inside your Smoky Mountain cabin, you can take advantage of the fireplace inside your vacation rental. Many of the cabins in the Smokies have either a gas or a wood-burning fireplace in the main living area. While you sit back to enjoy your favorite television show or a family movie, you can throw another log on the fire and enjoy some quality time with your loved ones in the Smoky Mountains.
3. Enjoy the Other Indoor Amenities
If the weather outside is frightful, there are plenty of fun ways to have a blast with your family without ever leaving your cabin. Cabin rentals in the Smokies are stocked full of all sorts of wonderful amenities, including home theater rooms, arcade games, pool tables, and so much more. You can even find cabins that have indoor swimming pools so you can enjoy a relaxing swim even when it’s snowing outside! On the coldest days of winter, you can stay warm inside your vacation rental while still enjoying all sorts of wonderful cabin entertainment.
4. Get Cooking in the Kitchen
Once you are nice and toasty, you might not want to get back out in the cold for dinner in town. Luckily, you can take advantage of your fully equipped kitchen in your Smoky Mountain cabin to fix everything from quick snacks to gourmet meals. There are plenty of grocery stores throughout the Smokies where you can stock up on supplies and all the cooking utensils you need will be waiting for you when you get to your cabin. After a delicious meal, sit around the fire with a cup of hot chocolate to make memories that will last a lifetime.
5. Bundle Up and Head Outdoors
As cozy as you will feel inside your cabin, you will still want to spend at least a little time exploring the natural scenery of the Smokies. While the view from your cabin deck is stunning, there is something special about going for a walk among the trees. If you want to take your family on a hike, visit the Great Smoky Mountains National Park where you can see amazing mountain views, waterfalls, historic buildings, and so much more. After an exciting day, you can look forward to returning to your cozy cabin in the Smokies to warm up and enjoy a peaceful night of relaxation before your next day of adventures.
6. Enjoy a Movie Night

This is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing evening with your family to watch your favorite film or the latest Hollywood blockbuster. The theater rooms are equipped with comfortable seating, a huge viewing screen, and incredible sound effects.
