Knoxville, Tennessee, is a popular tourist attraction for both outdoor recreation and urban exploration. Museums, performing arts, golf, shopping and festivals draw visitors from all across the country. You and your family can visit the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame, rent a paddle boat or take a cruise on the "Star of Knoxville" riverboat. If you are looking for accommodations set outside of the urban environment of the city, you can find several cozy cabins within close driving distance.
Wears Valley offers two cabins, both featuring stone fireplaces, full kitchens and private outdoor hot tubs and fire pits. You and your family can relax on the deck in the wooden rockers or swings or prepare dinner on the charcoal grill. The Shadyann cabin sleeps 12, and the Rocking Horse Ridge sleeps six.
Both cabins are located in private, wooded areas that are adjacent to hiking trails. Local attractions include a community swimming pool and fishing pond as well as Little Fall's Creek, located just a short walk from the cabins.
