Gatlinburg Cabins Near
Downtown & Anakeesta
Anakeesta is one of the most popular attractions in Gatlinburg and the Smoky Mountains! It has something for everyone.
To read more about Anakeesta check out my review here.
I waded through the listings, I mapped them, I read the reviews!
Here are some really nice cabins I found that are within about a mile or less of Anakeesta and also the downtown strip of Gatlinburg
where all the action is!
Some cabins are even close enough to walk to attractions or just everywhere.

14.) Authentic Log Cabin
2BR 2BA, Sleeps 6
​
*Note, this is an easy walk to town, but very much uphill on the way back. But it is very, very close to the strip, yet you will feel like you are above it all. I have a video, where I saw a bear coming down from this cabin's road (very beginning), and it is another reason you may want to drive and not walk home in the dark.
