One of the most appealing attributes of the winter season in the Smokies is undoubtedly the stunning scenery that surrounds your cabin.

3. Cabin Amenities

One of the best parts about winter in the Smoky Mountains is the chance to enjoy the delightful amenities in your cabin. Step out onto your private deck with a cup of hot chocolate as you admire the winter wonderland surrounding the cabin. If the weather isn’t too cold, the hot tub provides the unique opportunity to appreciate the great outdoors while relaxing in the warmth of the bubbling waters. As an alternative, kick back inside of your cabin next to the glow of the fireplace for some toasty relaxation. With so many fantastic amenities, you could have a great winter vacation without even leaving your cabin! Other Smoky Mountain cabin amenities include pool tables, fire pits, and jacuzzi tubs.

4. Peace and Quiet

A winter vacation in the Smoky Mountains provides the ideal opportunity to enjoy some much needed peace and quiet. Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and retreat to the serenity of your cabin in the woods. Wake up to the sight of a deer passing through the trees, and watch the beautiful stars at night to enter a state of complete relaxation.

5. Break Up the Monotony of Winter

For many people, the winter months can be quite dreary and boring, especially after the holidays are over. Instead of moping around, break up the monotony of winter by scheduling a getaway at one of our cabins. Don't let the winter get you down when you could be having a blast in the Smokies!

6. Fun Local Attractions

The fun never slows down in the Smoky Mountains, as many great local attractions are open throughout the winter. Check out Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies, where you can view more than 100,000 exotic sea creatures and experience a 340-foot underwater tunnel. For some fantastic views of the snow-capped mountains, take a ride on the Gatlinburg SkyLift or head to the top of the 407-foot-tall Gatlinburg Space Needle!
