6 Ways to Stay Nice and Toasty in your Gatlinburg Cabin

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!

If you take a winter vacation at Bear Camp Cabin Rentals, there are many ways to stay nice and warm in one of our cozy cabins. You will want to experience the beauty of the outdoors even if it is a little brisk outside, but it’s nice to know that there is a toasty Gatlinburg cabin waiting for you when you are returning from an outing. Here are six of the best ways to stay warm in your cabin:

1. Soak in Your Hot Tub or Jacuzzi

There is no better way to kick back after a day spent exploring the Gatlinburg area than a soak in your cabin’s hot tub or Jacuzzi. With lots of bubbles and soothing jets, a steamy bath will warm you up and relax your muscles. If you’re on a vacation with someone special, a soak in the tub can be the perfect end to a romantic evening.

2. Prepare Your Favorite Warm Foods

All of our cabins come with fully equipped kitchens, so you can whip up your favorite warm foods and beverages in no time. Guests can make a hot cup of coffee, tea, or cocoa to start the day. When it’s chilly outside, it is simply delightful to have foods like oatmeal, macaroni and cheese, or flavorful soups. If you want to do some serious cooking, you could prepare a feast with roast chicken or a juicy steak.

3. Curl Up in Front of the Fireplace

Many of our cabins are equipped with fireplaces. Spending a cozy evening in front of a crackling fire is a time honored way to stay warm. Whether you are with a group of friends or family members, or enjoying a romantic getaway with the one you love, a fireplace can make your stay extra special.

4. Watch Your Favorite Movies

If you choose a cabin with a home theater system, you can enjoy a warm evening watching your favorite movies or TV shows. A Gatlinburg cabin gives you the best of both worlds. You are surrounded by the incredible natural beauty of the Smoky Mountains, but you also have all the comforts of home and the latest technology.

5. Cuddle With Your Dog

Bear Camp offers a wonderful selection of pet friendly cabins in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, so you can bring your four legged friend to the Smokies. When the weather gets cold you can snuggle up with your dog. It’s always good to have furry friends around during the winter months!

6. Appreciate Nature From Indoors

When you don’t feel like venturing outdoors, you can still enjoy nature from our cabins. All you have to do is look out the window and you will see spectacular panoramas. The views vary from one cabin to another, but they are all located in one of the nation’s most scenic regions, so you can look forward to amazing vistas no matter which one you choose.
