Tennessee Cabin Rentals, Smoky Mountain Cabins - Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge Vacation : Gatlinburg vacation

Two Night Cabin Rentals Reservations

Happy Camper — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 20:46:00 GMT

So it has been awhile since we have posted, but it has been a little hectic. Today we are getting snow, its cold and this is supposed to continue for a couple of days. This is the time to stay inside with a cup of hot chocolate or hit the slopes at Ober Gatlinburg … those are the only options! It is gorgeous to see snow on the Smoky Mountains though.

Anyway, back to business.

We have opened up two night advanced reservations on our website - www.MountainChalets.com. In the past we had only accepted 2 night reservations within 21 days of arrival, but we realize with the current economic situation we find ourselves in sometimes 2 days is all you can afford to be gone. Also, we thought this would be a great way for our guests to accumulate Guest Appreciation Points so you may earn FREE nights that can be used during family vacation time in Gatlinburg. Sometimes you just need a short getaway to take a breath and relax before facing the week that lies ahead.
Also, if you have a particular cabin rental or week you prefer you might want to get those reservations early, so it does not get booked. Since two night stays may be booked in advance, we don’t want your usual stay to be interrupted by another reservation.

Guest Appreciation Points

We started our Guest Appreciation program in March of 2007 and have had a great response. This program allows all of our guests to create their own accounts and accumulate MRG Points so they may earn free nights with us. We just want to thank all of our loyal customers that stay with us and recommend Mountain Rentals of Gatlinburg. I have noticed recently that many of our guests have started to redeem their points for 2 FREE nights on their reservations – I hope this program has been easy to use and allows you to spend more time enjoying all that Gatlinburg and the Smoky Mountains have to offer!

Happy Summer in da Smokies!

School out for Summer! Vacationing in an area like the Great Smoky Mountains is perfect for the whole family. The Smoky Mountain National Park has hiking trails for all levels of experience from elementary to experienced. When choosing a hike you will need to consider skill level, how much time you would like to spend and the scenery you desire.
If you are interested in peaks you will want to visit Clingmans Dome. This beautiful area has roads that traverse the landscape with scenic pull offs that provide spectacular views. Clingmans Dome boasts an elevation of 6,643 ft (the highest point in the Park) so be sure to bring a light jacket as the weather is much cooler at this elevation. The 30 minute walk to the viewing area is well worth it with a view of approximately 20 miles on a cloudy or poor air quality day and up to a 100 mile view on a clear day. Several trail heads start here including the Appalachian Trail.
Waterfalls are one of the most spectacular features in nature. They give you a sense of wonder and awe as they rush down the mountain side. There are several trails that lead you through the lush landscape and end at a magnificent fall. Laurel Falls is 2.6 miles round trip with a paved pathway. This fall is 80’ high and the hike is considered moderate. Abrams Falls has a moderate rating and is 3 miles round trip. The Falls are only 20’ feet high, but this fall has the highest water volume of any park fall.
If you are looking for a scenic drive you cannot miss Cades Cove (Abrams Falls trail is accessed here). This 11 mile loop of scenic road has something for everyone. There are historic churches, cabins and barns waiting to be explored; some can be accessed from the road while others require a short walk. There are great areas for a picnic lunch and wildlife is everywhere. You may also ride bicycles along the loop. The traffic can be very heavy in season, most people take the loop very slowly and stop frequently to catch a glimpse of the wildlife and enjoy every minute of the experience, so be patient and appreciate all that the Great Smoky Mountains Park has to offer!
