Make Your Cabin’s Deck Your Homebase
**
When you’re not out and about, you can kick back and relax on your cabin’s deck. On a warm spring day, there is nothing better than sitting in a rocking chair and taking in the majestic mountain views. Many of our log cabins in Pigeon Forge TN come with gas grills, so you can have a barbeque right on your deck. Just be sure to pick up some hamburgers or steaks on the way to your cabin.
In the evening, couples will love soaking in the bubbly hot tub on their deck. To make things extra romantic, plan it so your dip in the tub coincides with sunset!
Attend the Festivals at Dollywood
Everyone’s favorite theme park reopens its doors in mid-March! To kick off the spring season, Dollywood will host its annual Festival of Nations. Featuring musical performances from all around the world, this fun event lasts until mid-April. Where else can you see African dancing right next door to a band of British ukulele players?
Another highlight of spring at Dollywood is the Barbeque & Bluegrass Festival. Guests at the theme park will enjoy hundreds of free concerts from some of the country’s most talented bluegrass musicians. Be sure to come hungry, because Dollywood’s chefs will be serving up some mouthwatering BBQ for everyone to enjoy!
See the Beautiful Wildflowers
Spring brings a stunning variety of wildflowers to the Pigeon Forge area. With over 1,500 types of flowering plants, it’s no wonder the Smokies are sometimes called “Wildflower National Park”! To see the flowers up close, we suggest taking one of the scenic hikes listed earlier in this article.
Another great way to admire the flowers, is to sign up for the Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage. Held in late
April, this special five day event consists of over 150 walks, hikes, and workshops that focus on the region’s incredible spring scenery. To register for the Wildflower Pilgrimage, click here.
