Stunning Creekside Cosby Cabin w/ Deck + Fire Pit!
The cabin was so inviting and cozy! Lots of things to do around town and we enjoyed the peace and quiet. The hot tub was also a huge plus. Huge thanks to the host for making it a pleasant stay!

Lightning Bug Lodge - 2BR Cabin, Hot Tub, Fire Pit
We loved the cabin! Peaceful, clean and we felt right at home. Our son graduated law school and they were able to visit us and spend time as a family.

A-Frame Cabin | Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Gated, Private
These hosts were awesome. They were responsive their house matched the description perfectly with no hidden details. We really enjoyed ourselves. Our kids loved the little play area. The location was nice and private, which is what we were looking for and it is within 20 minutes of Gatlinburg so we were pleasantly surprised.

Tiny Hidden Gem, WIFI,Hot tub,Secluded
This place was perfect for our trip. It was comfortable, and had everything we needed plus more! They tell you to feel free to explore the property, and I highly recommend doing so! If you’re looking for a quiet, secluded spot away from the hustle and bustle of town, then this is it. It’s about a 30 minute drive to Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge from this cabin, but the drive is easy and scenic, so it’s really not a huge deal. After spending a day in town it’s nice to go back to a quiet cabin! The gravel driveway is steep, so it’s important to have AWD or 4x4!

The BarnLoft at Foothills Farm Cosby/Gatlinburg
The location was perfect, the loft was cozy and clean, and Johnny was always available to answer our questions and concerns. Highly recommended!”

4BR*Hot Tub*Incredible Views+Privacy! Pet Friendly
it was good I wasn't ready for the drive up. honestly it was fine at the beginning and at the end but the middle trail going up is just very rough and cracked. the place was beautiful and worth the money. the hot tub was amazing and the kitchen was fully equipped that we were able to make breakfast. at the end if the day everything was good besides the realization that the last mile up could potentially mess up your car if it's not ready to go over some big cracks and dips and broken rocks in the trail.

Your guide to Cosby
All About Cosby
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. The tiny unincorporated community doesn’t have much in the way of amenities, but you will find a number of quaint cabins in the woods next to nature trails, fire lookout towers, sprawling apple orchards, and easy access to hiking, cycling, and water sports like kayaking and whitewater rafting on the nearby Pigeon River. 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.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Cosby
The climate of the Great Smoky Mountains region is varied and temperate, with four distinct seasons. The summer months have long, sunny days that are hot and humid with regular rainfall in the afternoons that help cool things down a bit. Winter sees a big drop in temperatures, and it regularly gets below freezing with occasional snowfall. The shoulder seasons are a great time to secure a Cosby cabin rental as they tend to be visually stunning with spring wildflower blooms and fall foliage. Though Cosby doesn’t have any festivals to speak of, the surrounding communities have several offerings throughout the year, including the Smoky Mountain Harvest Festival in the nearby town of Pigeon Forge. This 12-week event celebrates all things autumn with pumpkin picking, scarecrows, and seasonal markets.
Top things to do in Cosby
Great Smoky Mountains National Park
With more than a half-million acres and 800 miles of trials, America’s most visited national park packs quite a punch. You could spend a few hours, or a few weeks, exploring its diverse ecologies. Fish for trout in Abrams Creek, search for falcons and warblers on a guided birdwatching tour, or hike through dense forests of hickory, dogwood, and fir.
Knoxville
This vibrant college town is an excellent day trip from Cosby thanks to its historic, 19th-century downtown district with streetside cafes, coffee shops, and museums. Farmers markets scattered about the city during the warmer months provide fresh produce and goods from local growers. And with a strong farm-to-table emphasis on the region's brand of southern cuisine, there is no shortage of culinary options to satiate an appetite after a day of exploring the Smoky Mountains.
Mount Cammerer Lookout Tower
This 11-mile round trip hike begins at the Cosby campground and meanders through dense forests, tracing creeks and running along ridgelines in some of Tennessee's most beautiful country. Eventually, the trail culminates in the historic Mount Cammerer Lookout Tower, with sweeping vistas of the Great Smoky Mountains for miles in every direction. Constructed of stone and timber, visitors can explore the decommissioned tower that once served to spot wildfires in the surrounding region.
