3 Places To Propose In The Great Smoky Mountains

It’s officially the season of hot apple cider, warm blankets, and pumpkin patches. It’s also the season for fall festivals, and the Smoky Mountain area is full of them!

Here are three festivals you can enjoy while on your Smoky Mountain vacation.

1. Dollywood Harvest Festival

If you love Dollywood and the fall season then you won’t want to miss this event! From early September to late October this annual celebration marks the best weather and some beautiful fall foliage in the Smokies. Stay late into the evening to see beautifully carved pumpkins, lit up and on display. During the day you’ll enjoy fall themed food, and colorful leaves all throughout the park.

2. Gatlinburg Craftsmen’s Fair

In early to mid October the Gatlinburg Craftsmen’s Fair heads into full swing. Artisans from across the country gather to peddle their wares while musicians serenade the crowds. You’ll see everything from woodworking and pottery to handcrafted jewelry and leatherworkings. If you have an appreciation for handmade goods then this event is for you.

3. Wears Valley Fall Festival

The Wears Valley Fall Festival takes place in mid October and is a favorite event for locals. Come experience the hundreds of vendors, melodic live music, and incredible Southern cuisine. If you’re interested in a true rustic, Appalachian festival with plenty to do and see for the whole family, then this one is for you.

No matter the festival you choose you’ll need a place to stay. Choose from one of our many options at Bear Camp Cabin Rentals today!

The time has come to pop the biggest question you’ll ever ask! You’ve met the person you want to spend the rest of your life with and you want the moment to be perfect. The hardest part is deciding what to say and where to do it. We can’t help you with your speech but we can help you decide where to get down on one knee.

1. Gatlinburg Sky Deck

The Gatlinburg Sky Deck has one of the most beautiful views around and will make for a stunning proposal. You can spread out a blanket and set up some flowers, or even just kneel, it’s that beautiful.

2. Clingman’s Dome

Clingman’s Dome, otherwise known as Kuhowi, is the highest peak in the Smokies and provides a gorgeous view of the mountains. This is yet another place that would be perfect for a proposal and would make the memory unforgettable.

3. Heritage Carriage Rides

If you want a movie-worthy moment then look no further than Heritage Carriage Rides. This fairy-tale style proposal will make all of her dreams come true and will create the perfect moment to remember forever.

Regardless of the way you decide to propose, we hope it goes just how you pictured it!
