There’s no better way to escape reality and spend a weekend relaxing than by booking a few nights at a cabin in the Smokies. No matter who you’re traveling with or what sort of vacation you’re craving, the Smokies are sure to be exactly what you’ve been looking for! We’ve put together a list of the 4 best ways to enjoy our cabins to help you plan the perfect weekend retreat.

1. Travel with Friends

One of the most fun ways to enjoy a cabin in the Smokies is to share the experience with a group of your favorite friends. It can be hard to stay in touch with friends because of busy work schedules and the hustle and bustle of everyday life, so setting a few days aside to catch up and reconnect with your favorite people is a great way to keep your friendship strong.

Another plus side to inviting friends for a mountain escape is that it is a great way to save money. Everyone can share the cost of the cabin, which will make your stay amazingly affordable! For just a few dollars per night, you’ll have the luxury of a beautifully decorated and secluded cabin to kick back, relax and recharge. And each cabin has a fully equipped kitchen, so if everyone pitches in on groceries and prepares a few meals together, you’ll save lots of money on food, too!

2. Enjoy Nature

The Smoky Mountains are a highly visited vacation destination for people from all over the country and the world because of their incomparable beauty and breathtaking views, so you’ll want to make sure to spend lots of time soaking in the nature around you during your stay. From the comfort of your cabin, you’ll enjoy amazing views from every room, as well as stunning scenery surrounding your private deck. You’ve never seen a sunrise or sunset as beautiful as what you’ll experience here.

Another great way to take in the views is to visit Cades Cove. Whether you feel like hiking the trails, exploring the old buildings or driving the 11 mile loop, Cades Cove has tons of great ways to experience the beauty of the Smoky Mountains.

3. Spend Time with Family

You may see your spouse and your kids everyday, but it’s easy to fall into a daily routine, and you rarely get the opportunity to experience new and exciting things together. When you stay in a cabin in the Smokies, you’ll be close to tons of exciting activities and attractions that you will love enjoying with your family!

One of our favorite ways to spend a day in the Smokies is to enjoy a whitewater rafting adventure. Splashing your way through the rapids is a fun new way to take in the sights and cool down on a hot day! Or if you’re looking for an even more thrilling way to take in the views, you should consider booking a helicopter tour of the Smokies! What better way to see it all than from up high in the sky? It’ll be a brand new adventure that your family will love doing together!

4. Enjoy the Amenities

Last but certainly not least, it’s important to spend plenty of time enjoying all the great amenities that come included with your stay! You’re paying for the cabin, so you might as well take advantage of everything it offers!

Whether you’re traveling with a group of friends or with your family, everyone is sure to have fun playing pool, air hockey, foosball and video games in your cabin’s game room. And the theater room is perfect for an evening of non-stop movie fun! Don’t forget the popcorn, candy and soda!
