In eastern Tennessee's Appalachian range, Cosby is a tranquil gateway to the wilds of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Set amid dense hardwoods and temperate rainforest canopies that are home to deer, black bears, and bobcats, Cosby is a prime jumping-off point to exploring the region’s outdoors.

And if you’re looking for an afternoon of museum hopping and Tennessee-style barbeque, the college town of Knoxville is only an hour away.
