Anyone got any ideas where to rent a cabin with decent hiking trails. Pet friendly would be a plus. I have looked at Gatlinburg but would like to stay a bit closer to the Boro if possible.
Dunno 'bout pets, but they both have mountain biking trails nearby and plenty of hiking.
or WNC area...Cabins with hottubs near NOC (Chris Ivory knows the name of the place) Stayed there a couple of times-with dogs once. Hiking and biking all around. Note-the murphy beds and futons don't sleep so hot. I'll take an air mattress next time.

http://www.recreation.gov/ This takes you to Corp of Engineer Parks...some have cabins.

www.vrbo.com for private homes, condos, cabins all over the world.
Fall Creek Falls is nice. They have several campgrounds. I have camped there with dogs (in an RV) and had no problems. They have several hiking trails with varying lengths. Check out the TN state park website for more details.
Thanks everyone for all the information. I have checked Fall Creek Falls and they are booked for the next 3 months. I am going to check into Pickett State Park and see what they have available.
