Prominently placed next to the 1896 beaux-arts-style courthouse, a bronze statue of the queen of country music presides over historic downtown Sevierville. But this east Tennessee town has more to offer than this amazing photo op. It is home to fabulous restaurants, shopping, and attractions like the RainForest Adventures Zoo and Tennessee Museum of Aviation.
Meanwhile, the surrounding area offers exciting adventures such as white-water rafting, Dollywood, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Forbidden Caverns, Anakeesta, dinner shows like Dolly Parton’s Stampede, and more.
Between the scenic beauty, outdoor activities, and family-friendly attractions, there’s no reason not to visit the heart of the Smokies. Here’s a curated list of the top-rated Sevierville cabin rentals for your mountain getaway.
Saloli 55$360/nightly avg
Just off the main drag, Saloli 55 is nestled in the chalet-style neighborhood of Echota. The name, Tanasi Saloli, meaning “Tennessee Squirrel House,” pays homage to the Indigenous Cherokee people.

The top deck has an outdoor seating and dining area, while the bottom deck boasts a six-person hot tub surrounded by trees.
The hosts assure that the neighborhood is located right before traffic starts to get congested, so you won’t have to worry about sitting in traffic to get to your cabin.

Pigeon Forge amusement parks, Dollywood, and The Island are about 15 minutes away.
