Rainy days are always better when you have your four-legged friend to keep you company, and you can keep them right by your side when you stay in one of our pet friendly cabins . If you just got a puppy, this is a perfect time to teach them new tricks and play. You can also just cuddle up with your pet and enjoy the sound of the rain.

2. Bake Yourself Some Treats

Spend an afternoon baking all your favorite treats when you stay in one of our Smoky Mountain cabins with a fully equipped kitchen. Baking is a great activity to do with the whole family because there’s something for everyone to help out with. You could even look up new recipes that you’ve wanted to try for a while but haven't had time to make. Being able to make your own meals is also ideal if you have picky eaters or family members with dietary restrictions or allergies. This is because you can cook the things they like and avoid things they can’t have opposed to going to a restaurant and worrying that they’ll mess up your order.

3. Play Some Games

Playing cards or board games are a great way to spend quality time with friends and family. They often bring out a lot of friendly competition, which is a fun distraction from the fact that it’s raining. To make the game interesting, you can even set the stakes a little higher and make it so the winners don’t have to help clean up after dinner.

4. Have a Movie Night

When it’s nasty outside, one of the most entertaining things to do is to watch a good movie! The best part about staying in opposed to going to the theater is that you can watch all your favorite shows and movie series whenever you want. No one likes sitting in a movie theater chair in uncomfortable clothes, and when you have a movie night in your cabin, you can wear whatever you want!

5. Relax in the Jacuzzi

Sometimes after a long day, there’s nothing more fun than a little relaxation. There are also tons of health benefits that come from taking a dip in the Jacuzzi every now and then. The warm bubbling water can improve circulation and help to relieve pain in joints and muscle soreness. It will also allow you to unwind a little more from all the excitement of your day so that you’re ready for a restful night’s sleep.

Even when it rains, there’s no shortage of fun things to do in our Smoky Mountain cabins! Start planning a trip where you can always have fun regardless of the weather, and check out our cabin rentals .
