Tennessee resorts mix Southern comfort with scenic beauty—without the sky-high prices. Think mountain cabins, lakefront views, hot tubs under the stars, and rustic-chic rooms that feel like a home away from home. It’s the kind of getaway where I can hike, relax, sip wine by the fire, and soak in mountain air—without overspending.
