As the fall season quickly approaches, now is the perfect time to book your cabin to enjoy the incredible beauty that autumn brings to the region. Here are five tips for enjoying a fall getaway at our cabins in the Great Smoky Mountains:

1. Take Advantage of Discount Tickets to Dollywood

Great Outdoor Cabin Rentals is pleased to offer our guests exclusive discount tickets to Dollywood. Fall is a great time to visit the popular theme park, as the weather becomes cooler and there are fewer crowds than the summer months. In addition, guests who are visiting Dollywood in October can check out the National Southern Gospel and Harvest Celebration, a month long festival featuring free gospel concerts and artisans from around the country. When you stay with Great Outdoor Cabin Rentals, you can also take advantage of our VIP Pass, which provides free tickets to Smoky Mountain attractions such as Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies and the Country Tonite Music Show.

2. Go for a Hike in the Park

The fall season is the perfect time to go for a scenic hike on one of the many trails in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. In the autumn, the air is delightfully crisp and visitors have the opportunity to view the magnificent fall foliage in the park. The entrance to the park is just a few miles from our cabins, so guests enjoy the convenience of a short drive to access the Smokies’ well maintained hiking trails. Whether going for a full day hike with your sweetheart or a short hike with the kids, you just can’t beat autumn in the national park!

3. Admire the Fall Scenery from Your Cabin

One of the best places to enjoy the spectacular fall colors and majestic mountain views is from the comfort of your own cabin! Our cabins in the Great Smoky Mountains feature private patios and decks where you can wake up to the gorgeous scenery of the Smokies or sit under the twinkling stars at night. Even if the fall weather gets a bit cool, you can kick back in your cabin’s private hot tub to soak the day away as you witness Mother Nature’s incredible display of colors.

4. Attend a Fall Festival

When you stay at our cabins in the Great Smoky Mountains in autumn, you can take advantage of one of the area’s many fall festivals. Ober Gatlinburg celebrates the month of October with a fun-filled OktOBERfest, featuring Bavarian style music, drink, and food, including traditional German selections, such as schnitzel, wurst, sauerkraut, and pretzels. Also in October, fans of arts, crafts, and music can enjoy the Gatlinburg Craftsmen’s Fair at the Gatlinburg Convention Center. This celebration of fall includes nearly 200 booths from the top crafters in the nation, as well as live country and bluegrass entertainment.

5. Enjoy your Cabin’s Amenities

If you happen to have inclement weather on one of the days of your fall getaway, this actually presents the perfect opportunity to take advantage of your cabin’s many amenities. With exciting game rooms, bubbly Jacuzzi tubs, flat screen televisions, and wireless internet service, there is always something to keep you entertained at your cabin.
