Cooler Temperatures
One of our favorite things about fall in the Smoky Mountains is the cooler temperatures that begin settling in around mid-September. While daytime temperatures might remain in the low 80s, humidity tapers off and evening temperatures tend to drop into the 50s – and it only gets more comfortable as you get deeper into the autumn months. The fall season is ideal for taking on popular outdoor activities in the Smokies from the best autumn hikes to ziplining through the colorful treetops and driving through Cades Cove. Our Great Smoky Mountain cabin rentals are the perfect place to enjoy the fall temperatures with friends and family – whether you choose to spend evenings snuggled up by the fire or relaxing in your private hot tub or indoor swimming pool, our cabins have all the things you need to make the most of the cooler weather.
Gorgeous Fall Foliage
Many fall visitors decide to come to the Smokies because of the gorgeous fall foliage that begins to show its colors around late September. From the stunning golds to the fiery reds and oranges that paint the mountainsides, it’s truly a view you must see for yourself in order to fully grasp its beauty. Whether you observe the colors from the private deck of one of our Great Smoky Mountain cabin rentals, ride up the mountain on a chairlift, take a scenic drive through the mountains, or at one of these popular places to see fall colors in the Smoky Mountains, you’ll want to make sure you don’t miss this once-a-season experience!
