Hugged by the Great Smoky Mountains, blanketed by dense forests, and kissed by the Little Pigeon River, Sevierville, Tennessee boasts lovely views from every angle.
The area’s natural beauty is easy to appreciate, even at top speeds. Soar above the Great Smoky Mountains on a helicopter tour. Whoosh through treetops on a zip-line. Scramble over boulders on an ATV. Battle rapids while whitewater rafting. Scramble up Clingmans Dome, the highest point along the Appalachian Trail.
But the views can do their best work when you replace the rush with a natural hush. Slow down, stay awhile, and let your eyes linger.

This one bedroom cabin boasts an arcade game, pool table and 32-inch TV, but its view of the eastern Smokies facing North Carolina is arguably its most compelling feature. Linger on the wraparound porch and sip cider while cooking sausages on the gas grill, soak in the hot tub, lounge in recliners under the sky, or rock in side-by-side chairs to savor the quiet. Rain won’t stop this view: You can appreciate nature’s beauty through three large windows from the comfort of the living area, where there’s a gas fireplace to warm your tootsies in cold weather.
The Smoky Mountains look gorgeous from every porch and window at this plush six-bedroom cabin that faces Mount LeConte and Gatlinburg. Pour another cup of coffee at breakfast as an excuse to dillydally at the dining table in the sunroom so you can keep staring at the view. Then snag one of the nine rocking chairs on the front porch, play foosball on the screened porch, picnic on the deck, lounge in the hot tub, or curl up in front of the fireplace. Just be sure your camera is fully powered up before sunset. Resort amenities include an award-winning spa, large seasonal outdoor pool, playground, basketball court, game room, fishing lake, hiking trails, fire pits, and more.
This three-bedroom riverfront house with all the comforts of home is steps from the Little Pigeon River. Stand on the shore and cast a fishing line (if you have a valid license). Linger on the back deck listening to the flowing river as ducks and geese float by on the sparkling water and eagles soar overhead. Relax around the outdoor firepit to the sounds of crackling logs. Cook your catch of the day in the modern kitchen or on the outdoor grill. Convenience is a key amenity at this modern home located just minutes from hiking, golf, shopping, attractions and the convention center.
Gaze out at Mount LeConte and the Smoky Mountains from this luxurious seven-bedroom secluded log cabin. Savor grand views of the Pigeon Forge lights over the Little Pigeon River while snuggling in front of a blazing fire or soaking in a swirling hot tub on the screened porch. Sprawl across a leather couch in the spacious living room and look out two-story windows. Grab a rocking chair on one of the multiple decks. Play ping pong on the screened porch. Find your personal favorite angle of the view on the grand porch that hugs three sides of the cabin.
Bask in the serenity of the Smokies at this stunning five bedroom cottage-style cabin. Sweeping views toward Pigeon Forge make this cabin a popular guest favorite. Take it all in while gently gliding to and fro on the porch swing, relaxing in the hot tub, playing ping pong on the covered porch, or cooking steaks on the outdoor charcoal grill.

Rain or shine, this charming two-story, two-bedroom log cabin is a peaceful retreat nestled in the woods. From the secluded screened porch and back deck you can watch wildlife forage and play, listen to birds chirp and sing, and breathe deep the pine-scented air. Beyond the wooded view, you can sink into relaxation in front of the fireplace, in the jetted bathtub, or in either plush king bed. When ready to get active, you’re just minutes from the convention center, trails, shopping, attractions and Sevierville’s central business district.
Located in the Echota resort, this two-story, two-bedroom home is nestled in the woods for views as comforting as a hug from Mother Nature. Enjoy pine-scented air from the deck or screened porch. Choosing a favorite vantage point can be a challenge, though it’s hard to beat the hot tub. On the other hand, it’s hard to argue against the simple joy of watching tree branches sway in the breeze while rocking in a chair. If you can look away from nature’s seasonal show, a stacked stone gas fireplace and Jacuzzi tub await indoors. This cabin has been recently updated with fresh paint and stain, new linens, and comfy furnishings.
It’s worth waking up early just to sit sipping coffee on the front porch as the sun rises over the river straight ahead. Nearly all 24 of the rustic cabins at this laid-back resort are steps from the Little Pigeon River, but Cabin 10 is most popular since it offers convenient access to the boat ramp as well as a bit more floor space inside the cabin. Find your zen gazing at the river or up at the clouds overhead. Resort amenities include an outdoor pool, playground, and arcade.
