Tennessee Vacation Rentals
A vacation rental in Tennessee means the opportunity to spend time on the scenic mountains, down in the peaceful valleys, inside world renowned caves, and enjoying lazy days on the inland lakes. With 54 state parks covering over 130,000 acres and over 8,300 state registered caves and caverns, there’s always something fun to do in the Great Tennessee Outdoors!
Dale Hollow Lake recreation area is a haven for water sports like skiing, wakeboarding, and tubing, and it’s a virtual paradise for smallmouth bass fishing. In fact, the world record holder for the largest smallmouth bass caught came right out of Dale Hollow Lake itself! And if you "See Rock City", you can also stop by nearby Lookout Mountain – where you can see seven states at the same time!
Tennessee also has strong ties to our nation’s history. In Greenville, Tennessee, the Courthouse is the only existing monument honoring both the Union and Confederate forces. Murfreesboro is home to Cannonsburgh Pioneer Village which features building replicas of a grist mill, school house, wedding chapel, and doctor’s office, as they would have looked between the 1830s and 1930s. The same town is home to Stones River National Battlefield.
But not all of Tennessee’s historical landmarks are considered quite so scholarly. Graceland, in Memphis, is the second most visited house in the nation, second only to the White House in Washington D.C. Graceland, Elvis Presley’s home, is on the National Register of Historic Places and features Elvis’ personal collection of private planes, cars, and motorcycles.
If checking out the home of The King is to your fancy, you might also want to check out Nashville, Tennessee, otherwise known as Music City USA. This country music paradise is home to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum and the Country Music Awards. For some up-and-coming talent, go downtown to Lower Broadway and Printer’s Alley and listen to some of the Nashville newcomers strut their stuff.
For some family-fun on your vacation rental in Tennessee, take a trip to neighboring Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Gatlinburg is home to OberGatlinburg, a ski resort and amusement park that offers 8 trails and 3 separate chair lifts. The town of Gatlinburg is full of mini golf courses, local taffies and candies, and one-of-a-kind souvenirs. Nearby Pigeon Forge is home to Dollywood, a theme park that celebrates the music and the crafts of the Smokey Mountains and created by none other than the legendary Dolly Parton.
Finish up your trip at the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga or go mine for gold at Coker Creek. It doesn’t matter what you do or where in Tennessee you go -- after your vacation rental in Tennessee, you’ll be "volunteering" to come back again!
