Gatlinburg Blog

November 7th the day the lights came on…
We’d like to remind you how beautiful Gatlinburg is when it’s all lit up for the holidays.  Lights are up November 7th – February 29.  We’d like to extend our winter special to all our repeat guests November 7th – June 12 (excludes all holidays).

Winter Fest Lights and Trolley Tours!

During the day, the peaks of the Great Smoky Mountains may glisten with snow, but during the night it's the streets of Gatlinburg that glisten with millions of lights. This winter wonderland is a show worth seeing, by car, on foot, or by trolley. In fact, the best way to enjoy Gatlinburg's Winterfest Celebration is to see the lights all three ways.

Although city life is grand, what if you feel like getting away from the bustle for a minute? Why not retreat into the mountains for a weekend of relaxation? Beyond Pigeon Forge's tourist traps lies a wonderful world: Gatlinburg, the neighbor to the East.

Gatlinburg is well known for its amenities and attractions, but it received an extra plug when it was included in the travel book "101 Best Outdoor Towns: Unspoiled Places to Live, Visit and Play."

Released this month by Countryman Press and written by Sarah Tuff and Greg Melville, "101 Best Outdoor Towns" provides information about possible vacation spots for those who like outdoor activities but appreciate the amenities offered indoors.

Wedding Invitation

Looking for that “perfect spot”  for your “special day”.  Please consider Gatlinburg.  We are surrounded by beautiful scenery and the Great Smoky Mountains.

Anglers can match their skills against wily brook, brown, and rainbow trout on over 700 miles of fishable streams in the park.

Ride through Cades Cove on a misty summer morning for a truly memorable way to experience the park.

Bicycles can travel on most roads within the park. However, due to steep terrain, narrow road surfaces, and heavy automobile traffic, many park roads are not well suited for safe and enjoyable bicycle riding.

An auto tour of the park offers a chance to see panoramic vistas, rushing mountain streams, weathered historic buildings, and majestic forests stretching to the horizon. Inexpensive booklets are available to serve as your personal tour guides along many park roads.
