Pinnacle Cottage Resort Cabin Rentals

Pinnacle Cottage Resort is a small cabin community on the hillside just east of downtown Gatlinburg, reached from U.S. 321 at Traffic Light #3. It offers a wooded mountain setting with views, while keeping the Gatlinburg strip, the Arts & Crafts Community and the national park close by.

Why stay at Pinnacle Cottage Resort

Close to downtown Gatlinburg

The community is only a short drive from the heart of Gatlinburg, so shops, restaurants and attractions like the Gatlinburg SkyLift are easy to reach.

Mountain views and quiet

Cabins sit up on the hillside among the trees, away from the downtown traffic. Wildlife sightings are part of the experience here, and evenings on the deck are calm and quiet.

On the way to the Arts & Crafts Community

U.S. 321 leads east toward the Great Smoky Arts & Crafts Community, a loop of artisan studios, galleries and shops just outside town.

What's nearby

Browse our guides to Gatlinburg attractions and Gatlinburg restaurants to plan your days. The Sugarlands entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a short drive for hiking and scenic drives, and Pigeon Forge and Dollywood are a drive north on the Parkway.

Hikers

Being on the Gatlinburg side keeps the park's trailheads close for early starts before the crowds arrive.

Gatlinburg regulars

If you love Gatlinburg but want a quieter place to sleep, Pinnacle Cottage puts you close to town without being in the middle of it.

Tips for your stay

Expect mountain roads

The roads up the hill climb and curve. Take your time, especially after dark and in winter weather.

Ride the trolley downtown

Parking in downtown Gatlinburg fills up fast. The Gatlinburg Trolley makes it easy to explore without hunting for a spot.

Keep wildlife wild

Bears live in the area. Secure trash, never leave food outside, and enjoy any wildlife from a safe distance.

Stock up on the way in

Pick up groceries in Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge before you head up to the cabin.
