Having such mild weather in Tennessee allows us to be blessed to travel any time of the year and not be held to the summer months. In fact, some people prefer the blooming flowers and the cooler nights we find in spring. There are plenty of ways to enjoy spring in Tennessee, so I say we plan an adventure. If you have been itching for some warmer days to get outside and explore, make sure to check out these phenomenal spring Airbnb getaways in Tennessee:
1. The Greek Cottage, Johnson City
I am a huge fan of unique stays and this is one of those one-of-a-kind places I just can’t get enough of; it's located in the forest far enough away from the rest of society to feel secluded, but still within minutes away from everything you need. The architecture is a work of art as it resembles an ancient Greek temple, but the pillars are made from revived logs pulled from the quarry on the property. The attention to detail is astonishing and if you want to hear more about the Greek Cottage, check out our previous article. To book a stay in the fabulous accommodation please visit the Greek Cottage Airbnb website.
2. The Quirky Canary, A Vintage RV, Leiper’s Fork
Step back in the '70s with the Quirky Canary, a vintage RV located in Leiper’s Fork, Tennessee. Nestled nicely into the woods, you will be surrounded by nature to enjoy the temperate weather of the spring. The RV is decked out with all sorts of modern conveniences all while maintaining the charm of camping in the 1970s. Relax with plenty of outdoor space and if this campsite weren't unique enough, they added a Treeweaves Nest -- a rope area tightly suspended above the ground and attached to the porch! During your stay, you can bounce, jump, or just lie down and relax on this one-of-a-kind addition. While you are staying in the forest you can also take a little road trip down the Natchez Trace or in town and enjoy iconic Leiper's Fork places like Fox & Locke for some live music. To book a retro getaway, please visit the Quirky Canary Airbnb page.
3. Goldfinch, Chattanooga
It is easy to get lost in the beauty in and around Chattanooga, and the Goldfinch encapsulates all the artsy charms of this Tennessee town. This cabin was constructed meticulously one step at a time with logs and bottles to make a truly unique stay. The sun will catch the bottles and illuminate the house with many different colors and it is like you have stepped into a fairy tale. There are other cabins on the property and common spaces that make good use of the outdoor space with lawn games and nature trails. While you are in the Chattanooga area explore the downtown and take a stroll down the Tennessee River Walk or take a pleasant walk around the Sculpture Fields at Montague Park. Listen to the birds at Maclellan Island
for the day or of course, you can visit the ever-popular Ruby Falls on Lookout Mountain. For more information or to step into the fairy tale story of this getaway, please visit The Goldfinch Airbnb page.
4. Lions Rest, Memphis
One of the best reasons to visit Memphis in the spring is to make a trip to the Memphis Botanic Garden. This is considered one of the best gardens in the state and one you won’t want to miss. During the spring, the cherry blossoms begin to bloom, and is a magical time to explore the gardens. There are so many different places within the garden where you can see fascinating plants and flowers from all over the world. When you are finished find your way to The Lions Rest. This apartment is located inside a historic home that was built over 100 years ago and you will have your own entrance and privacy. The best part of the property is the private garden which is in full bloom in the spring making it a peaceful and relaxing place to end and start your day. To book your stay please visit the Lions Rest Airbnb page.
5. Stairway To Heaven Glamping Dome, Cosby
I do love a good unique stay and these glamping domes in Cosby go over the top to make an unforgettable experience. Located right near the Great Smoky Mountains you can explore the park to your heart's desire, hike to waterfalls, and immerse yourself in nature. When you are finished this glampground is filled with domes just waiting for you and your group. We chose to focus on the Stairway To Heaven Glamping Dome, but at Dunn Creek, you will find several of these glorious accommodations that are meant to fit several different sizes for your friends or family. When the mountain air settles and you find yourself there on a chilly spring night head to your own private hot tub to warm up under the stars. To book a night please visit the Stairway To Heaven Glamping Dome Airbnb page.
6. Flying Squirrel Glamping Tent, Townsend
Located in Townsend, AKA "the peaceful side of the Smokies," you will find one of the most glorious glamping tents in the area. This spacious tent won't even feel like there is just a canvas between you and the outside world. There are walls, doors, and all sorts of modern amenities inside, plus a gorgeous outdoor porch. Overlooking the mountains you can witness that classic misty swirl of fog lift off of the Smokies in the morning and see the sun paint the mountains in a blue hue as it sets. This is the perfect spring location as you can take a quick drive into the park to enjoy places like Cades Cove. Spring is the perfect time to look for bears because the cubs are frolicking out after a few sleepy months in winter and they are very active as they start to look for food in the spring. The Flying Squirrel is just one of many great unique stays at Thunderhead Ridge Getaway so make sure you check out the others and to book a trip to the glorious glamping tent please visit the Flying Squirrel Airbnb page.
7. Big Bottom Bungalow, Sparta
A wise person once said that location is one of the most important factors to a successful business and as much as that works for a storefront it works even better for this wooded retreat. The Big Bottom Bungalow is a nature lover's paradise surrounded by a plethora of natural wonders. The cabin itself is nestled into the forest in the beautiful wilderness of Sparta. Large windows allow plenty of sunlight in while the large wraparound porch makes enjoying the outdoors even more accessible. Not only are you close to some of the best waterfalls in the state like Fall Creek Falls, Burgess Falls, and Twin Falls, but you are also only 200 yards from the Big Bottom Wilderness Management Area which can be likened to Cades Cove. Guests will also be within a short drive to Lost Creek and Virgin Falls. If you want to get away this spring and head into the mountainous wilderness to chase waterfalls, go kayaking, and hike some of the prettiest places in the state, this cabin is for you! To book a stay please visit the Big Bottom Bungalow Airbnb website.
As far as spring Airbnb getaways in Tennessee go, these are some of the best. However, like I stated before we are blessed with so many amazing places to stay and visit in Tennessee that you can easily spend a lifetime within our borders and it would be a life well spent.
