What’s your favorite place to be?
I mean, if you could spend as much time as you wanted in any place in the world, where would it be?
I love to visit the Smoky Mountains!
I am seriously in love with the beautiful scenery. I can’t get enough of that view and the fresh air blowing my hair. I just love everything about the Smoky Mountains. I guess you could say…
“The Mountains are Calling My Name.”
We traveled to the Great Smoky Mountains a couple of weeks ago. This is nothing new for us. We visit the area as often as we can, which is typically about once a year, though we have missed a couple of years due to finances, births of babies or other family events that kept us from traveling.
(Bridge in Gatlinburg)
We were extremely pampered on this trip. I could go on and on about how awesome the trip was, but I’m sure the photos will speak for themselves. For starters, we stayed in a beautiful resort, Gatlinburg Falls Resort, at the edge of Gatlinburg. It was so conveniently located because it wasn’t in the middle of town and yet, it wasn’t super far up a mountain or out of town either. We could easily drive to Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge for all of the fun activities, but we could also stop by our cabin and relax, change clothes or fix a quick meal.
Our cabin was fully equipped with everything we needed during our week stay. It even had a game room that my boys took total advantage of! There were arcade games, air hockey, a pool table and even a separate movie room! It’s a good thing we packed the popcorn! 🙂
About Gatlinburg Falls Resort:
Gatlinburg Falls Resort is operated by Venture Resorts, the largest cabin rental agency in the Smoky Mountains. They started out with cabins in Gatlinburg Falls Parkview Resort, but have since grown and now manage over 400 cabins in resorts around Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville and Wears Valley.
The editors of Southern Living Magazine named them the #1 Family Resort in the Smokies! I must say that I don’t disagree. The service is superior and the cabins are so clean and well taken care of. As a matter of fact, they have a high rate of return by guests who come back to the area again.
(It’s nice relaxing by the little creek in Gatlinburg).
With 400 cabins to choose from, you are bound to find one your family will fall in love with and enjoy. Cabins range in size from 1 bedroom to 18 bedrooms! Wouldn’t it be cool to stay in an 18 bedroom Smoky Mountain Mansion? It would definitely make a great family retreat!
Cabin amenities vary by cabin, but include things such as Jacuzzi tubs, pool tables, game rooms with arcade games (Galaga, Ms PacMan) and some even have home theaters! Some of the cabins allow pets with a generous pet policy: $50 pet deposit, with no size or weight restrictions.

I love getting away into the mountains. It looks so peaceful where you are.
It was definitely a very peaceful spot. We can’t wait to go back!
YES! I love the mountains. Living in Florida, the last place I want to go on vacation is the beach or Disney. So, we head to the mountains. And your cabin looks AMAZING! I can’t wait to check it out
That makes total sense! We have yet to take a beach vacation. It’s on our list, however we always find ourselves back at the Smoky Mountains every year—they are calling our name! haha!
That looks like so much fun! My kids would totally take advantage of the game room too! I’ve never visited the smokey mountains, but we are about a 45-minute trip away from the Rocky Mountains, so I’ll take that. I’m glad finances worked out for you this year so you could go and enjoy some family time.
Thanks! We were pretty blessed to have the opportunity to return to this beautiful place! Oh what I wouldn’t give to live close to the mountains! 😉
Looks like a beautiful place! Perfect place to go to get away from the loudness of the city and everyday life in general!
It’s so beautiful and is definitely a great getaway—very peaceful!
The smokey mountains sound like such a lovely place to visit. I actually love the cabin, it’s almost like I can smell the word from here. I would love a peacful getaway here.
It is a great place to visit and the cabin was such a wonderful vacation cabin for us! Our whole family enjoyed it!
Ahh I hear you! I drove through the smokies once and wished I could have just pulled over right there and stayed! I adore rustic cabins and my home decor theme is partially build around that asthetic!
I bet your home is beautiful! I’m always telling my husband that since we can’t pack up and move to TN we need to just build a cabin here in the woods! haha!
We hope to visit the Smoky mountains next winter! Thank you for sharing these beautiful photos and now I need to make this a reality.
We have yet to go in the winter. I would love to hear about your trip! We need to make it a point to visit in the winter. 🙂
I’ve only been to the Smoky Mountains once. I was a child. I can’t wait to experience it again as an adult.
I think you’ll be impressed! It’s just such a beautiful place to visit!
I have visited the Smoky Mountains several times and each time I am in awe of the beauty of the area. There’s something special in the air up there and it’s just a wonderful place for much needed rest and relaxation.
I totally agree with you!
I have family that lives out there but I still have not visited. I need to create a plan and head out there soon.
Yes, you definitely should! I don’t think you’ll be disappointed at all. It’s such a beautiful area to visit. 🙂
The place is so beautiful! I also love mountain trips but without hiking. haha.
I’m ok with a little hiking, but I’d much rather soak in the hot tub and enjoy the views! haha!
What a gorgeous place! We love the Smokies. It was one of our first vacations. The last time I was there was over 12 years ago.
We agree that it is absolutely gorgeous! My first time visiting was at about the same age! 😉
We were just talking about planning a cabin weekend. My oldest daughter has only been once and she’s nine years old – not something I’m proud of. And my youngest has never been! We definitely want to change that and spend some time in the mountains soon. We’ve never been to the smoky mountains but would love to visit!
The Smoky Mountains is a great vacation spot and it is so beautiful and relaxing. I’m sure your kiddos would enjoy it—-and so the rest of the family! 🙂
How gorgeous! I’d love to experience mountains some day. Sadly where I live there are none so I’d have to travel. And this looks inviting!
We had to travel to get to the mountains as well, but it was so worth it! The views are just stunning and it’s so relaxing and peaceful there. 🙂
I love the Smoky Mountains. I was born in TN and have been many times. My fiance’ is from NY and has never been so we are thinking about visiting this fall. You got some beautiful photos!
Thanks! You should definitely take him to see the mountains! I went as a child and knew I had to take my hubby. We ended up going there for our wedding and have been visiting every year since! It’s home away from home for us! 🙂
The Smoky mountains are on my bucket list.
Definitely visit if you ever have the chance! It’s so beautiful and there is so much to do there!
We visit Gatlinburg several times a year. Have driven by Gatlinburg Falls but never stayed there. Love the cabins!
I love the Smoky Mountains and can’t wait to take my hubby there!
I love getting away to the beach. Your cabin looks awesome! I haven’t been to the Smoky Mountains in years
We love renting cabins and try to do it once a year to get away. Last year, we rented a cabin in the Smoky Mountains and loved it! The views were breaktaking and it was so relaxing!
My son wants to rent a cabin and the whole family go together for a week in Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge.
It would be awesome to rent a cabin in the Smoky Mountains. I would love it. I haven’t been to the Smoky Mountains in years
Our family loves the Smoky Mountains! Such a fun place to go with the family!
What a view from your cabin! It looks absolutely beautiful and it sure looks like you are far, far away from the everyday hustle and bustle of the city. What a lovely place to get away from it all.
Have not been to the Smokies in years. My nother lived in TN and I would go pass Gaitlinburg on the way down and back. Always built a little extra time to spend their
We are going to try to get out there this year. I love the Blue Ridge, so this should be fun.
I live in Virginia and have not been to the mountains in quite some time. This looks like a nice resort!
I’ve never been there but I would love to! Thanks for sharing!
I’ve never been there or even to Tennessee but it looks like a beautiful place to visit.
This is a beautiful area. I’ve never stayed in a cabin there but I know it would be a lot of fun.
Such lovely photos and scenes. I would love to be there at this time! How peaceful.
This is definitely on my bucket list! It looks like a fabulous time!
I would love to be up there in the smoky mountains, more so this time of the year. So beautiful and peaceful!!

I always wanted to visit the Smoky Mountains. It looks very pretty and loved where you stayed during your time at Smoky Mountains.
Once a year, hubby and I rent a cabin in the smoky mountains. It’s so relaxing and beautiful!
