Luxury dog-friendly hotels in Smoky Mountains, United States

Spectacularly beautiful, riddled with waterfalls and populated with mighty pines, the Smokies are the Deep South’s own homegrown pastoral paradise. Straddling Tennessee and North Carolina, the Great Smoky Mountains are consistently America’s most visited national park, and with views like these, it’s not hard to understand why. In addition to the lush flora, diverse fauna and the jaw-dropping spectacle of the scenery, you’ll find traces of Cherokee tradition (the infamous ‘Trail of Tears’ originates in nearby Chattanooga), as well as a rich tradition of open-armed hospitality, bluegrass music, and finger-lickin’ Southern cuisine.
