Family-friendly vacation rentals in Knoxville

Absolutely stunning! It’s well kept and the view is breathtaking, black bears show up regularly (don’t worry they’re friendly). There’s a game room and toddler stuff as well. 8 people can sleep comfortably. FYI this is in the mountains so the road is not for rookies. 4x4 recommended.

Absolutely beautiful cabin:) Peaceful, serene, clean, great location. Loved our stay! Thank you 😊

This was my third stay at Glimpse of Heaven, and it most certainly won’t be my last. The name truly says it all. The view is absolutely unmatched. One of my favorite things about this cabin is its location. It’s quiet and serene, far removed from the crowds near Gatlinburg but still just a short drive away if you want to explore the area. It’s also perfectly situated near Cades Cove and the Foothills Parkway, which makes it ideal for scenic drives. The cabin itself is always clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Shirley, the host, is always quick to respond. She makes every stay easy and enjoyable. I couldn’t recommend Glimpse of Heaven more highly—it’s become my go-to escape in the Smokies.

Very thoughtful, proactive, responsive, and considerate host. We had an exciting time with all the games she had lined up for her guests.

My family really enjoyed our stay at Charles’ cabin. It is easy to find, but also away from the business of the city. The space was clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed the hot tub on the porch! I appreciated small mindful touches like a safety bar mounted by the bathtub, and plenty of towels. I would definitely recommend this place to a friend.

2nd time staying at Mike's. He's a great host with a nice place just outside of downtown Knoxville. His place is clean, comfy and has fast wifi. Mike is super responsive and has your best interest in mind.

Jeff and Kathy's place was perfect for a weekend away for us without the kids. The location feels very secluded but with only about a 20 minute drive into the action of Gatlinburg. It is on a mountain but the roads aren't bad at all. The bed was very comfortable and Jeff and Kathy were great communicators. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful home on the top of the Lou rain. Couldn’t beat it for the price. Wish we could’ve stayed longer

This cabin is exactly as described. Private and peaceful. Easy to find GPS took us right to it. Easy entry/exit lock. Very comfy bed ! The road could scare some drivers. It didn’t bother us being from WV. But if curvy back roads scare you at night. This is not for you. We had to call Michael one night. The fire alarm randomly went off he was 100% responsive and took care of it immediately. My ONLY complaint is no ceiling fan in the bedroom. My husband and I are both hot sleepers. However he does have a box fan in the cabin that we used. Our first night we seen a mamma bear and 3 cubs. Second night a coyote. Third and fourth night a bunch of bunny rabbits. I loved this cabin. Out in the mountains with no one around to bother you. You can sit on the porch and actually hear the leaves moving in the wind! Also while siting outside we were able to hear cows mooing! There is a small farm down the hill. We loved listing to the animals in the mornings!

Very wonderful for a Christmas getaway. Pam was very quick to respond and always made sure we were doing okay and there were no problems. She even made us some cookies and delivered them to the porch. Would definitely recommend!

Our stay at *The Good Life* cabin in Pigeon Forge was truly delightful. The cabin was impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and offered plenty of space to relax. Every detail contributed to an atmosphere of comfort, making it easy to unwind and enjoy the surroundings. Nestled in a peaceful setting, the cabin provided the perfect blend of seclusion and convenience. It was close enough to town for easy access to attractions, dining, and shopping, yet far enough away to feel private and tranquil. Whether enjoying the quiet outdoors or the warmth and charm of the interior, we felt completely at ease throughout our stay. If you’re looking for a spot that combines comfort, charm, and a serene location, *The Good Life* is an excellent choice. We would absolutely return for another visit!

What a beautiful cabin and the view was beyond expectations! Because we were above Dollywood, we got the fireworks and drone show every night. All the amenities that were listed were there and then some. If you want to be in a peaceful quiet setting and yet only minutes from the action, this is the right place.

Angela’s home was an amazing cabin in the woods. The only downfall was there is not a specific driveway to park at. There is plenty of woods between Angela’s cabin and the cabin to the left, it is a small driveway we have a big truck and was slightly difficult to park. Overall her cabin was clean and she was very responsive to all our messages! She was a great host and had a great cabin, would book again in future!

Drove through the night from Chicago, let’s just say I’m glad we arrived in the morning with daylight. This cabin is definitely a cabin in the mountains. Great view, great spot to get away. The roads getting in definitely will get your blood pumping, and your motor reving. But once you arrive, it is all worth it. David did a wonderful job with all the directions and also his accommodations. From booking to enjoying, it was great. Thank you!!!

Bev's place was great and exactly what we were looking for. My husband and I had a wonderful stay. The cabin was clean, comfortable and stocked with everything we needed. The location was perfect, just far enough from the busy tourist areas to enjoy peace and quiet, but close enough that we could easily enjoy them when we wanted to. We especially loved relaxing on the porch and enjoying the breeze. The highlight - we came hoping to see brown bears and didn't have to go far - one wandered by right next door! A truly memorable trip.

This is our 3rd time staying at Simple Pleasures! We love it so much we brought my sister and brother-in-law to experience it as well! The cabin has the most stunning views! It is perfectly described and matches the listing! Tom and Alison are great hosts! Always responsive. They always allow for a flexible check in as well! The cabin feels very homey and has great amenities. Perfect space for two couples! We love it and hope to be back soon!

The space was so peaceful and private, just what we were looking for. The kitchen was adequate for what we needed, the bed was comfortable, and the hot tub in the enclosed porch was the cherry on top. The bathroom was elegant as well! The daily messages were very helpful so I didn’t have to back track instructions.

It was incredible! Super cozy and out of the way of any type of bustle. It was calm and quiet, and a great little place to come back to after our outings. Will definitely visit again!

Jeremy and Janie’s property was very nice! Loved the stay

This was our second time staying at this Airbnb! It was just as lovely as before & Lemuel is a wonderful host. 10/10

Captain David’s was an amazing place to stay while visiting Maryville before moving here! Super clean, excellent recommendations from Captain David himself and wonderfully located! If fishing is your thing this is the place for you!! Will be recommending to family and friends in the future!!

Cute and comfortable place to stay! It was a perfect location for us while we traveled for small day trips around the area. Very friendly hosts!

Great place. My family didn’t want to leave. They loved seeing the horses everyday and had a wonderful horse riding experience.

James was easy to deal with, really friendly guy
