Whether you’re heading to Nashville’s Honky Tonk row or retreating to the wonderful wilderness of the Great Smoky Mountains, there’s one thing that can make your stay in Tennessee just a little more enjoyable: a hot tub.
But there’s no need to book a fancy hotel suite to enjoy this amenity. You can find many cabin rentals in Tennessee, both in cities and far out in the woods, that offer hot tubs.
Lounging in a hot tub in the evening (or hey, in the morning!) is a great way to kick back, relax and enjoy the great outdoors. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for shooting stars if you’re out in the woods.
So, what’s the delay? Check out these 12 cabin rentals in Tennessee with hot tubs to find your perfect homestay pick.

- Minimum stay: 7 nights
- Rates from: $500/night
This VRBO luxury property was originally built as a custom home and all of the customizations make it entirely worth a stay for the family — and we’re talking the entire family, as this Tennessee cabin with a hot tub is big enough for more than 30 people.
Amenities beyond that oh-so-important hot tub include a theater, a billiards table, a fishing pond and more. There are near-endless spots for you and your favorite people to hang out and relax. In fact, you could book a stay here and never even need to leave the property in order to have a good time.
It starts at a downright reasonable $500 per night, though of course, the price goes up as you add more guests. Oh, and the hot tub only seats seven, so you will have to take turns.

This cabin features a mix of rustic and contemporary features that add to your comfort, such as plush carpeting in the bedrooms and ample outdoor living and dining space.

Cozy up with some hot chocolate beside the stone fireplace, read a book in the hammock out on the deck, or take a dip in the hot tub as you watch the nearby trees for the resident wildlife. Whatever the season, you’ll find something to love about this chalet (and the laid-back town of Townsend.)

Wherever you are on the two-story deck, you’ll enjoy views of the Smoky Mountains. Inside, you get a huge kitchen, living room with another fireplace, a game area and more.
It’s one of the pricier cabin rentals in Tennessee with a hot tub, with rates that can climb above $1000 a night on holidays. But it’s a very high-end home and does have some quite nice outdoor living areas.

The cabin’s location is probably the most noteworthy draw, however. It’s just behind Gatlinburg’s aquarium, about a half-mile from downtown. You’re so close, you can hear the nightlife from your back deck. (And walk home if you want to have a glass of Tennessee whiskey with dinner.)
