East Tennessee Cabin Rentals

Mountain ranges in East Tennessee

While they’re known by many names—the Great Smoky Mountains, Blue Ridge Mountains, or even the Appalachian Mountains—the peaks of east Tennessee all offer one thing: unparalleled beauty. But if you want to travel like a local, you’ll want to know a thing or two about the hills and hollers.

The beautiful Great Smoky Mountains span Tennessee and North Carolina, and are characterized by their misty, smoke-like cloud cover that settles in the valleys. The Smokies also form part of the Blue Ridge Mountain Province, and are best known for being the home of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, located just minutes from our East Tennessee mountain rentals. Also, the Smokies are a subrange of the much larger Appalachian Mountains, which trail from Alabama to the Canadian province of Newfoundland—an incredible 2,000 miles.

In short, the Smoky Mountains are local to Tennessee and North Carolina—but you may hear folks referring to them by other names, too.
