Tennessee’s natural beauty is irresistible – from the Great Smoky Mountains to lush and verdant meadows. It’s all about the great outdoors here, with 12 national parks to explore, featuring rugged cliffs and winding rivers. Escape to the forest with a stay in a mountainside chalet, or rest by the lake in a luxury tent lodge – our favorite glampsites and cabins in Tennessee are bookable on Culture Trip.

The forest hugs the white canopies of this glamping resort – set in a clearing among 182 acres (74ha) of wooded terrain – minutes from the entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Each tent has a wood-burning stove, king-size bed with Casper mattress and daily housekeeping. Ask for an optional overhead window, so you can stargaze from your bed. Fueled by solar energy, the camp aims to be zero-waste in the future.

    Look out over the Great Smoky Mountains from this palatial cabin. Though the seven bedrooms can accommodate up to 23 guests, you can be as private as you wish. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and fireplace, as well as far-reaching views across the mountains. Barbecue from the sweeping terrace, or soak in the outdoor hot tub and enjoy the view. You can also entertain yourself in the games room, featuring an arcade driving game, a pool table, air hockey and a Blu-ray player.

    The surrounding mountains turn blue at dusk as the setting sun fades, carving some out in the last light and obscuring others. The balcony of the Wayleaf cabin is one of the best spots to take in this daily spectacle – the four-bedroom property has some of the furthest-reaching views across the Great Smoky Mountains in the area. Yet it’s still minutes from Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. After a busy day downtown, return to your room, light a fire in its towering stone fireplace and get cozy.

    Get the gang together, cook up a storm in the kitchen with local specialties – we’re thinking fried pickles and catfish, or cornbread and slow-cooked barbecue pork – and gather in the snug living room, with its leather sofas and stone fireplace. Smoky Bear Manor – which sleeps 18 across its five bedrooms – is the place for intimate friends-and-family gatherings. Life centers around its large communal rooms, but all bedrooms open onto balconies or patios.
