Family vacation simply isn’t the same when traveling without the whole family. Leaving your fur baby behind can not only be a hassle, but an added expense. Including your pets in your family getaway makes your vacation truly feel like home and ensures everyone is happy during your time away.

As you browse the magazines for your next family getaway, why not consider the lovely cabin scene and pet friendly Gatlinburg shops of the Smoky Mountain region? While in the Smokies  there is no need to worry about finding a quality kennel or hiring a pet sitter--with pet friendly Gatlinburg cabins, everyone wins! There are many cabin rentals that welcome pets and offer awesome amenities primed for a fun-filled trip. Here are a few reasons to put Gatlinburg and the Smoky Mountains on the docket for your next adventure:

Spacious, Scenic Amenities

While traveling with pets can be homey and fun, it can also be burdensome if you don’t select your amenities carefully. Pets do in fact take up room and many vacation resorts and lodging areas do not permit pets on the property. If you’re hoping to have your fur baby tag along, Diamond Mountain Rentals offers a variety of pet friendly Gatlinburg cabins that offer space for the whole crew.

If you’re traveling solo with your pet, quaint one-bedroom cabins like Clearview or Sweet Retreat are great options. Traveling with a larger gang? No problem. Cabins like Above the Mist and Honey Bear Hideaway sleep up to ten guests and come equipped with a variety of bonus amenities like indoor and outdoor fireplace settings, a pool table and gameroom, a washer and dryer system, and a cozy outdoor hot tub. Additionally, the cabins are situated on the perimeter of Smoky Mountain National Park so you, the family, and your pets can enjoy some fresh mountain air and a scenic view.

Gatlinburg Welcomes Your Pets!

If you like to hit the town while on vacation, you’re in luck! The downtown center is extremely accommodating. Pet friendly Gatlinburg shops are quite popular. The frequented “Shoppes at the Village” is a strip of local shopping that allows leashed animals on the sidewalk. You and your pet can enjoy a stroll while people watching on this popular lane.

Pets are welcome inside shops like Bone Diggity Bakery (offering savory treats, accessories, and toys) and Paws & Claws Pet Fashion (if you’re looking to outfit your pooch). Both shops cater to families traveling with their dogs and other animals. In addition, there are also a large selection of pet friendly restaurants with patios and outdoor seating where you can dine peacefully with the whole family!

Pet Friendly Gatlinburg Cabins = Budget Friendly Vacay

As you can see, the pet friendly Gatlinburg shops and ample cabin selection make the Smoky Mountain region a paradise for pets! With affordable cabin pricing and endless pet-friendly activities, you can ditch the costs of the kennel and opt for care-free, family fun.
