A Smokies Story: Your Best Family Moments Happen Here
You’ve just spent the day exploring the sharks and rays at Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies, and the kids are still buzzing with energy. Back at your Summit Cabin Rentals home base, they dive into a round of pool and retro arcade games while you sink into the bubbling hot tub on the deck, breathing in the mountain air.
Tomorrow? Anakeesta’s treetop skywalks, the SkyBridge, or Dollywood; all minutes away. This is how family trips become traditions in Gatlinburg.
The Top 4 Family-Friendly Amenities (And How to Use Them)
1) Hot Tubs with Mountain Air
Soak under the stars after a day of hiking, coasters, or museum time. Many of our hot tubs are located on the deck, perfect for Smoky Mountain sunsets and crisp, fresh air.
Kid tip: Enjoy a family movie first, then hot tub time for parents once little ones are asleep.
2) Game Rooms for All-Ages Fun (Select Cabins)
From classic arcade machines to pool tables and more, game rooms turn rainy afternoons and late evenings into family tournaments. Skip the arcade spend and bring the fun home.
Pro move: Host a kids-vs-parents pool challenge with a prize like choosing tomorrow’s activity.
3) Private Pools (Select Cabins)
Turn your cabin into an all-day water retreat. Private pools let you swim, splash, and lounge whenever you want, with no crowds and no lines.
Safety note: Always supervise kids and review posted pool rules upon arrival.
4) Fully-Equipped Kitchens
Cook your favorites, cater to picky eaters, and save on dining costs. Make big breakfasts before a day at the park and pack simple lunches to go.
Budget tip: Plan 1–2 meals out per day and enjoy the rest at your cabin to save.
