Escape to the mountains of Tennessee this year for cool, fresh breezes, warm and friendly people and a good time at every turn. Surrounded by the Smokey Mountains, cabin getaways can be as simple or as luxurious as you want.
Rustic cabins that hold the barest of amenities are often found around lakes or creeks. Here you can focus your time on the great outdoors. Pull up your rocker on the porch and watch the stars twinkle. Gather around the campfire with some S’mores. Read a book indoors while the rain patters on the roof. This is the time to disconnect from phones and tablets and really find yourself again.
If you would rather have a cabin filled with luxuries that you only get on vacation, there are plenty of those available, too. Stunning views, hot tubs, flat-screen TV’s outside – whatever indulgence your mind imagines can be found in a Gatlinburg cabin rental.
There is so much to do if you decide to leave your cabin. Shopping at quaint places where jewelry, wooden plaques and candy are sold is just part of the fun. Plan to make a weekend of it. You can’t see all of the stores in one day. Candle shops and book stores, bath lotions and t-shirts, and of course some toys for the children – there is something here for everyone. Plenty of benches along the main strip will allow your tired feet a rest before you log some more miles of shopping.
When you work up an appetite there will be plenty of food options awaiting you. Have some shrimp and grits at Bubba Gump’s. Enjoy a foot-long corn dog, hand-dipped, hot and delicious from Fannie Farkle’s. Burgers, steaks and Italian food are just some of the choices you will have.
Before you head back to your cabin, take time to get a photo of the family in saloon gear. Ride up the side of the mountain on a chair lift. You can even race your friends on super-fast go-carts. It’s all about making memories.
There are four distinctly beautiful seasons in Gatlinburg. Winter is perfect for skiing or drinking hot cocoa in front of a fire place. Spring will have all of the flowers blooming. Summer is perfect for hiking or fishing. Fall is arguably the best season of all, when leaves turn to gold, crimson and yellow.
