10 Wheelchair Accessible Cabin Rentals in the Southeastern U.S.

Spending time outdoors is an enjoyable activity throughout the year and during this pandemic especially. If you really want to enjoy the great outdoors, you need an epic place to stay as well. Wheelchair accessible cabin rentals can make for the perfect accommodations because they give you the freedom of staying in a full house, often with outdoor space to take in the view, enjoy the air, and explore a new location.

From the valleys of Virginia to the hills of Tennessee, the southeastern U.S. is home to some of the best wheelchair accessible cabins in the world. These 10 wheelchair accessible cabin rentals offer a wheelchair accessible bedroom, bathroom, and outdoor spaces that will blow you away.

1. Above the Clouds in Tennessee

For a getaway in the Great Smoky Mountains right outside of Pigeon Forge in Wears Valley, Above the Clouds cabin is a great option for a larger family, as it can sleep up to 11 people, and this cabin is one of my personal favorites. The winding mountain road with sharp turns up to the cabin truly takes you into the clouds. The cabin overlooks the valley and is surrounded by tree covered mountains. 

The entrance to the cabin has a wheelchair accessible ramp that also connects to the large back deck. It’s perfect for observing the view while enjoying a beverage or a meal. The kitchen is also accessible with a lowered microwave and easily accessible appliances, indicating that this whole cabin was designed with wheelchair accessibility in mind. The master bedroom on the main level is wheelchair accessible with a king size bed, space to use a hoyer lift, and a fully accessible bathroom with a roll-in shower.

2. Eagle’s View in Tennessee

Another option in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, and only a 30 second walk/roll from Above the Clouds cabin, is Eagle’s View. It is a smaller cabin that can sleep up to 5 people, but it’s wheelchair accessible. There are great views from every window, as the cabin is situated on the property to provide stunning landscapes from all sides. 

At the front of the house, there is easy parking and on that same side there is a ramp that runs along the side of the house, providing access to both the front and back porch. This also provides a no step entry for everyone. 

The wheelchair accessible bedroom is on the first floor with a king size bed and a fully accessible bathroom decorated to match the cabin. This is a classic cabin for a nice weekend away. The design is log-style for that rustic outdoor feel, complete with natural decor throughout and is the perfect place to enjoy the sunrise and sunset.

3. Harvest Moon in Tennessee

The last of the wheelchair accessible cabin rentals in Tennessee I’m recommending in this blog post is Harvest Moon. Located in Sevierville, Tennessee, this is a 2 bedroom cabin with a ramped entrance. The cabin is one level, giving everyone access to the kitchen, wheelchair accessible bathroom with a roll-in shower, and back deck. There’s also a grill, hot tub, and great natural woodland view. 

An added bonus of this cabin is that it’s on a resort, which gives you access to the rest of the property with a wheelchair accessible boardwalk around a pond, and even includes a fire pit and golf course. You can fish in the pond directly from the boardwalk. Everything is very natural with scenic views and lush landscapes for a perfect cabin retreat.

    I saw your posts about travel and never realized all the other places had the accessible places. This is great. Do u have a full magazine or something u can send me to look at of places. I always wonder even about overseas or other places. We always travel on the plane to my grandma upstate NY. And if we want to drive we do that but for accessible we never know. So this is good. Thanks for sharing. I live in vegas and even people ask me that come here.
