Great Smoky Lodge by Jackson Mountain Rentals

Close to a water park, rafting, and more, this pet-friendly cabin brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 9-minute drive to Anakeesta or the 9-minute drive to Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

Relax by the outdoor pool or sip a drink in the rooftop private hot tub of this cabin, which also features a furnished balcony and an outdoor pool. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at air hockey and foosball, or enjoy the free WiFi, TV, and pool table.

This 7-bedroom, 5-bathroom rental features a living room, a dining area, a fireplace, and air conditioning. Bathroom amenities include towels and toilet paper. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a freezer, as well as a microwave, cookware, and a toaster. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll also have a dryer.
