4 Reasons Why Fall Is A Great Time To Stay In A Rental Cabin
Posted by Leif Palmer in Rental Cabins
Any time of year that you visit the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee is a great time to stay in a cabin in Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg or Wears Valley. But we have to admit that autumn may be one of the best seasons to do so. Here's just a few reasons why.
Fall Colors
Most of our properties are located in the Pigeon Forge and Wears Valley area and have great views of nearby mountains like Cove Mountain. From some of the higher elevations, you'll have sweeping views of the Smokies range that include Mt. LeConte and other towering peaks. And during October and early November, the leaves are turning colors, so instead of a sea of green, you'll see a rolling blanket of red, yellow and orange extending into the distance and up the mountains themselves.
It's a great sight to behold while sitting on the deck of your rental cabin. Our properties come with porches, decks and balconies that afford a wide range of views, and you can usually enjoy them kicked back in a comfortable rocking chair.
Cool Nights
After a long, scorching summer, it's been sweet relief to get some pleasantly cool days and slightly chilly nights. And when you're staying in one of our rental properties, you can spend those chilly nights either huddled up in front of a gas or log fireplace, or you can slip into the steaming bubbles of your outdoor hot tub while taking in the cool wonder of a fall evening in the Smokies.
Family Break Time
Still have a school-related fall break on your family calendar? Then head to the Smokies and spend a few days or the entire week in one of our cabins. With multiple bedroom options to choose from, our cabins can accommodate anywhere from four to 10 or more guests. It's a great place to stage a family get-together or reunion while taking advantage of all that the Smokies have to offer in autumn. Also, our cabins generally come with recreational amenities like a pool table, board games, and in some cases, video game consoles.
Close To The Park
Most of our properties are conveniently located near an infrequently used back entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The traffic is nearly nonexistent, and the entrance takes you right to the popular Metcalf Bottoms Picnic Area. From there, it's not a far drive to other frequented park destinations like Cades Cove, Elkmont and the Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont. Collectively, these sites offer numerous opportunities to hike, explore, bike, fish and picnic.
About Leif Palmer
Leif Palmer loves residing in the Smoky Mountains. He is an avid outdoorsman: rowing for exercise on the lake, trail hiking, and free climbing rocks in the mountains. He indulges his arty side by periodically beating up pieces of marble by sculpting. He is always frustrated by his inability to sink long putts, and hates his curly hair (but his wife loves it). Leif has been known to muster enough courage to change a diaper, and hopes his son will become a chip off the old block.
