Our Story in the Smokies

Built on real stays, real people, real care since 2010.

Our Story

It Started with One Cabin

2nd To None began in 2010 with a single cabin in the Smokies, purchased as a family getaway and a place to share with visitors. That first cabin grew into a collection of cabins and condos for couples, families and groups. Today, our properties offer a place to settle in, spend time together and enjoy the mountains at your own pace.

Stay Your Way

Close to Gatlinburg, Surrounded by the Smokies

Choose a romantic studio, a family-friendly cabin or a downtown condo within easy reach of Gatlinburg's restaurants, attractions and mountain trails. For reunions and retreats, several of our cabins sit within a short walk of one another, so everyone can stay close while still enjoying their own space. Whether your plans include a peaceful evening in the hot tub, a day in the national park or a special celebration, we will help you find a stay that fits the occasion.
