A vacation in the Smokies offers tons of fun activities and unique attractions, but some of the best things about your trip are simply enjoying the view from a secluded cabin and getting some much-needed R&R. Here are a few ways to really make the most of your Smoky Mountain cabin rental:

1. Take time to slow down and relax

The easiest way to make the most of your stay is by simply soaking in the views, relaxing in the hot tub, and utilizing the other amenities at your cabin. Plus, it helps those wanting a budget-friendly vacation in the Smokies! Whether you’re staying at a riverfront or creekside cabin or prefer a cabin overlooking the mountains, there’s nothing more blissful than spending a few hours on the deck sipping a drink and admiring the sights and sounds of nature. A peaceful day at the cabin is also a welcome reprieve from the busyness of going to all of the area attractions and shows, as well as exploring the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Even rainy days at the cabin can be fun, from putting on a family game tournament, cuddling up to watch a movie, and just spending quality time together in a cozy and luxurious home away from home.

2. Take advantage of the full kitchen

Our Smoky Mountain cabin rentals feature a fully stocked kitchen with all of the necessary appliances and tools to make any meal or snack, so why not use it? Not only is it convenient, but it also allows you to have complete control over dietary needs and preferences while away on vacation. You can enjoy a slow morning over eggs, bacon, and coffee or continue your Taco Tuesday tradition while on vacation! Don’t forget to take advantage of the grill and outdoor spaces too. You can plan a BBQ or cookout, an especially great idea for large families or groups. It’s easy to get everything you need at one of the local grocery stores, and make sure to stock up on the ingredients for s’mores for a simple, classic dessert that will feed a crowd!

3. Take family photos

Whether you send photos with your Christmas cards or simply want yearly portraits to display, these family photos will immortalize your trip and the memories made. Besides, you can also create new social media profile pictures with the incredible scenery behind you!

4. Take your pet with you

Possibly the best way to make the most of your stay at one of our Smoky Mountain cabin rentals is by taking your pet with you on vacation!
