Tips for Getting the Most Out of a Smoky Mountain Vacation

When planning a vacation, families want to get the most out of their money spent and their time away from home. At Great Outdoor Rentals, we know how valuable a great vacation can be for your health and relationships, so here are our tips for getting the most out of a Smoky Mountain Vacation.

1. Arrive Early

Arrive just before your Gatlinburg cabin rental allows you to check in. By doing this, the family can eat and take a break from the long drive or flight. Stop in for a delicious meal or enjoy some of the most popular attractions in the region. Then, when you finish, it will be time to check-in and enjoy all the amenities offered by Great Outdoor Rentals.

Also important is waking up early. Even if the entire group isn’t ready until brunch, waking before the afternoon will allow the family to see more and do more while in the area.

2. Spend Time Together, Then Divide and Enjoy

Make sure to spend some time together, but also allow the group to divide to see some things the others might not be interested in. Some may want to drive to the attractions on the Pigeon Forge Parkway while others would rather trek into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. By dividing some of the time, you can plan to spend family time together at an attraction or laugh-out-loud dinner show.

3. Find Great Deals

By saving money on cabin rental and attractions, families have the opportunity to enjoy more while on vacation. To give families more chance to escape while visiting, guests of Great Outdoor Rentals enjoy a Smoky Mountain VIP Pass, which allows them one free ticket to a number of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge attractions for each paid night of stay.

Not only can families save money on attractions by staying with us, our guests also save the moment they book one of our affordable cabins in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains. With fully-furnished floor plans featuring full-sized kitchens, cooking a meal can save money and allow for more bonding time for the entire crew.
