Vacation homes in the mountains

Explore vacation rentals in the mountain

A mountain vacation is a great way to step away from the hustle and bustle of the city and get back in touch with nature. In 2025, mountain towns typically have two distinct busy seasons. During the winter, it's all about winter sports and fun in the snow. In the summer, the snow melts to reveal intricate networks of hiking trails and the wildlife comes back to full force. The in-between spring and autumn seasons are generally less busy and great for snapping up deals and enjoying the remoteness and the fresh air away from the crowds.

Vacation rentals in the mountain available to book on the Vrbo app include classic log cabins tucked away in the forest, pretty lakeside family condos with communal pools, and luxury chalets with outdoor patios kitted out for fun weekend getaways with friends.

Cabin rentals in the Great Smoky Mountains

Nestled between North Carolina and Tennessee, the Great Smoky Mountains owe their name to the distinctive blue mist that floats above the peaks of the mountains. A spectacular natural wonder, these ancient mountains draw visitors from all over the country thanks to their exciting diversity of plant and animal life and Southern Appalachian mountain cultural heritage. Gatlinburg is the gateway to the Smokies and a smart place to look if you're after cabin rentals. Wake up to the sounds of birds and wildlife on your doorstep. Head off for a hike and finish the day soaking in your outdoor hot tub under the stars. Cabin rentals come in a range of sizes, from cozy romantic cottages for 2 to large chalets that sleep large groups of guests.
