Tennessee Cabins Question
We're planning a trip to Tennessee to do some riding in June. We want to rent a cabin in the mountains close to Gatlinburg, but most importantly want a really nice place with great views. Last time we visited Tenn we stayed in Dandridge in a B&B and it didn't work out at all, small rooms, not much parking, etc. If anyone has any suggestion it would be appreciated.

Hey we spent a week down there last may with the kids and had a great time we rented a cabin from alpine chalet rented 5 days got two for free cost around $750 it over looked the town of gatlinburg and the mountians and we had no issue. Cabin was nice and clean had washer and dryer. The road up to the cabin is steap and twistie but nice view at the top of the town and mountians in the morning. Had hot tube on the deck. Here is a link to the place and the cabin we rented.

The cabin i was talking about the road is paved and you can ride a scoot up it but be careful as it has alot of sharp cut backs and the road is very steap all the way up and all the way back down.

I've rented cabins in the mountains around Gatlinburg twice now - the most recent was over spring break a couple weeks ago from Jackson Mountain Rentals. Both were great experiences, but there are literally dozens of rental oufits to go with and about a zillion different cabins to rent. All it takes is an hour or two on Google and a couple phone calls to find just the right one for you.
I have to say though that I wouldn't have ridden my bike up to either one of those cabins - pretty hairy to say the least. Just ask a lot of questions of the rental company including road condition/type questions. My last cabin had a section of one lane gravel road for the last 1/2 mile that was being utilized as a two-way road! Not too much fun backing up around hairpin curves with a steep dropoff to one side to try and make room.
