The next hack to saving money on your Gatlinburg Cabin is, inquire with the host. When you find the cabin you want to book, message the host and inquire about any discounts or options you might have to lower the nightly rate.
Many cabins don’t actually set their nightly rate. They use a platform like PriceLabs where the rates are automatically set and adjusted according to the rental market. Depending on the season, we can accommodate the guest in some way shape or form if the requests are reasonable.
Hack to saving money on your cabin: Book longer windows of time
Book longer windows of time. Often times, when a guest books longer than 5 days we’re able to accommodate a slight lower nightly rate saving them money on the nightly rate.
Date Flexibility. If you are flexible on your trip dates check the off season for cabin rentals or book mid week dates as they are listed at lower nightly rates.
Last minute bookings. Owners want to fill their cabins so they will lower their nightly rate. If you have date flexibility or travel spur of the moment you’ll benefit from snagging a cabin at a discount. Keep in mind though, for travel plans during the holidays or hot season you’ll want to book in advance so you get the cabin you want in a good location.
