Plan Your Fall Getaway Now

Posted by Rob A on September 15th, 2019

Autumn is right around the corner, and, on the east coast of the United States, that means beautiful fall foliage. The rich colors and vibrant hues of the eastern mountains create a wonderful palette for the eye. You can experience nature's spectacle from almost anywhere, but if you want to totally immerse yourself, why not plan a mountain getaway for a weekend or longer? The Smoky Mountains straddle Tennessee and North Carolina and offer 400 miles of roadway and 800 miles of hiking trails. Join the millions who visit annually by browsing through the listings and then reserving your Smoky Mountain cabin rentals. 

What Is There to Do?

The question should be "How can I cram all of what the Smokies offer into one trip?" The Smoky Mountain National Park was established in 1934, and is known for the diversity of plants and animals who inhabit the surrounding area. There's no better place to immerse yourself in an old growth forest on the east coast. It is America's most visited national park, and is an easy drive from most locations. 

Breathtaking views are available everywhere you turn in the Smokies. They got their name from the smoky haze that lingers over the mountain tops most mornings, but once the fog clears away, you can see for 25 uninterrupted miles. You can choose from a budget-friendly cabin to the height of luxury for your family visit or romantic getaway. Take advantage of the fall splendor any of a number of ways, from a zip line over the treetops to an ATV ride or on horseback. Plan to spend a few days in town, too, touring Ripley's aquarium, museums, a zoo, Dollywood amusement park, or at the Gatlinburg Space Needle, which rises 407 feet above the city. Play a round of miniature golf with the family, and sample some of the best southern comfort food around in one of the many restaurants. Adult getaways can include a tour of the local wineries and distilleries, an evening of entertainment at either the Smoky Mountain Opry or a comedy club. And, even though the outdoors is the draw for the Smokies, don't forget to stop in one of the many local stores to pick up the perfect souvenir of your visit. These are but a few reasons why you should book your fall vacation now and reserve your Smoky Mountain cabin rentals.
