Level up your Smoky Mountain vacation with these standout Gatlinburg cabins featuring game rooms and private theaters. This guide highlights the most entertaining spots to stay—perfect for families, friend groups, and rainy-day fun without ever leaving the cabin.
Looking to add more fun to your vacation? Choose from a variety of Gatlinburg cabins with gameroom and theater — these features can truly elevate your stay. Here's why.
We know the Great Smoky Mountains region is all about the great outdoors — after all, it's home to the most visited national park in the U.S.! Still, a little time indoors can be just as enjoyable. Staying in a cabin with premium amenities like game rooms and private movie theaters can be a game-changer for your Tennessee getaway with loved ones.
A few years back, my partner and I booked a weekend in a Gatlinburg cabin after a chilly November hike through Alum Cave Trail. We figured we'd spend most of the trip outdoors, but a surprise cold front pushed us indoors. That ended up being the best part: sipping hot cider while playing shuffleboard, and later curling up in the theater room for a double feature of Knives Out and Clue. We didn't step outside again until checkout—and didn't miss it.
In this blog, we've curated a list of some of the best Gatlinburg cabins with gameroom and theater features — and these will sure make for an action-packed retreat.

A friend of mine stayed here with a group of 14 last spring—three families, including six kids under 12—and, according to him, it never once felt crowded. His exact words: "the upstairs bunk room turned into 'kid headquarters,' while the rest of us rotated between the game room, kitchen, and deck. One night, we grilled steaks and ate outside while the mist rolled in through the trees. Another, we all squeezed into the theater room to rewatch The Goonies—popcorn bowls in every lap, and not a phone in sight."

What previous guests love about it:
"The house was amazing! The kids and teens had a blast hanging out on their own floor with game rooms, bunks, pool table, etc. There was plenty of space and it was very clean. Property manager checked in on us twice via phone and email to see if we needed anything."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"10/10 experience! We had a group of 18 adults and it was so spacious and comfortable. We had our own spaces and beds. The hot tub was amazing to end the night with, the patio was perfect for morning coffee and watching the fog roll off the mountains, and the game room was constantly occupied with people playing poker or lounging on the bean bags. I'd make this a regular annual trip!"
