The Cuddle Hut  

In Gatlinburg, a quick hop from the action. You're a short drive from Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies and Anakeesta, about 2.2 mi (3.5 km) from Great Smoky Mountains National Park and 1 km from the city center near the Salt and Pepper Shaker Museum and Cupid's Chapel. McGhee Tyson Airport is roughly 45 miles away.

Rooms feature a fireplace and a private balcony or patio, plus a kitchen outfitted with a refrigerator, oven, stovetop, microwave and coffee/tea maker. A barbecue area adds easy, relaxed evening dining after exploring the strip.
