8 Cabins Near Anakeesta
& Downtown Gatlinburg
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.
1.) City Walk
1BR 2 BA, Sleeps 8
This one has it all! It doesn't get much better than having a beautiful, new cabin 1 block from the downtown Gatlinburg strip.
Fireplace, games, wraparound decks and hot tub. This cabin is gorgeous with a unique layout and little extra touches. Easy walk to Anakeesta and all the other fun places downtown Gatlinburg without worrying about parking or traffic.
2.) River Song
2BR 2BA, Sleeps 6
1 mile from downtown Gatlinburg, Anakeesta and all the action. This absolutely beautiful log cabin is right on the Roaring Fork River, and is stocked with Rainbow trout, oh my. (No surprise that bears are frequently seen at this river and cabin also)
Also at the edge of Historic Roaring Fork Nature Trail, the historic cradle of Gatlinburg itself. Hot tub, wood burning fireplace, clawfoot tub in master, pool table, charcoal grill and board games.
3.) Always A View
3BR 3BA, Sleeps 6
This stunning beauty sits on the mountainside above the city, and is only 1 mile from Anakeesta and the Gatlinburg strip, as well as right above Ripley's Aquarium (Ripley Aquarium & Partner Combo Discounts here).
Breathtaking views from the huge decks overlooking the city lights. This cabin was newly rebuilt after the 2016 wildfires. It includes a theater room, well equipped game room, electric fireplace, 6-person hot tub, and luxury decor.
4.) Nature's Retreat
7BR 4BA, Sleeps 16
You'll never know you are in a cabin so close to the Gatlinburg Parkway, as you relax in your hot tub under the gazebo, and have plenty of space in the large yard! Also, there is a fireplace, covered deck and grill.
According to the owner's description, "It is nothing to see bears, deer, racoons, birds and we even have a beaver that makes his way through almost daily."
If you don't mind a walk, Anakeesta is less than a mile away or about a 17 minute walk according to Google Maps. Gatlinburg Mountain Coaster is a 7 minute walk, and less than half a mile from this cabin. Blake Shelton's Ole Red is just a 14 minute walk.

Right on the peaceful Little Pigeon River, cabins like this are hard to find. It's even pet friendly!
Grill steaks and relax next to the gently rippling waters or watch from the screened in porch in your private hot tub. Pretty spiral staircase, stone fireplace and rustic decor make this cozy cabin a gem.
This is a prime location across the street from 2 Mountain Coasters, and a 15 minute walk to Anakeesta. You are literally right around the corner from the Parkway, with privacy yet, you can zip over to the Gatlinburg strip on a 5-10 minute walk, anytime.
