Pigeon Forge, TennesseeIn the Great Smoky Mountains
Your Smokies log cabin, with a private indoor pool.

It has a private heated saltwater indoor pool, a cedar sauna, a hot tub and an upstairs arcade game room, and every bedroom has its own full bathroom.

At Ember Crest Lodge, staying in is part of the vacation. The pool, the sauna and the hot tub belong to your group alone.
Mornings start slow in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee: coffee on the covered deck, a few laps in the heated saltwater pool beneath a mural of Smoky Mountain skies, and plenty of time before anyone has to be anywhere.
Spend the day at Dollywood, four miles down the road, or on the trails of the national park. Come back to the cedar sauna, fire up the Napoleon grill, and settle the air hockey score upstairs while someone claims the leather sofa by the stone fireplace. Every bedroom has its own full bath, so a houseful of grandparents, cousins and old friends never has to wait in line.
