Winter Wonderland

There’s nothing quite like a cozy cabin getaway in November. The air is crisp, the trees are bursting with color, and the Smoky Mountains make the perfect backdrop for a relaxing retreat. Whether you’re planning a romantic weekend or a quiet escape with friends, here’s how to make the most of your cozy cabin stay this fall.

1. Settle In and Get Cozy

Start by creating that classic cabin atmosphere. Light a fire in the fireplace, curl up with a blanket, and enjoy a good book or conversation by the glow. Make use of the cabin’s amenities, play a round of pool or board games, watch a movie on the big screen, or soak in the private hot tub while taking in the cool autumn air. With a fully equipped kitchen and outdoor grill, you can cook up a hearty dinner and enjoy your meal on the deck surrounded by the beauty of fall.

2. Explore the Great Outdoors

When you’re ready to venture outside, take advantage of the season’s stunning scenery. Drive along scenic routes like Cades Cove Loop Road or the Blue Ridge Parkway for breathtaking views of fall foliage. Go for a hike in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, just start early to avoid crowds. You can also visit a local pumpkin patch, explore Gatlinburg’s charming downtown, or stop by the Smoky Mountain Harvest Festival for crafts and seasonal fun.

3. Plan Ahead for a Perfect Trip

November is a busy month in the Smokies, so book your cabin and activities early. For a quieter experience, try visiting midweek instead of the weekend. And don’t forget to plan your meals and stock up on groceries before you arrive so you can focus on relaxing and enjoying your autumn escape.

Snow, sleet, ice, freezing temperatures.  With forecasts like this you just want to stay inside and read a good book!  Blankets and a fire are what you're day dreaming of right now, and with winter weather upon us, we want to remind you of the perfect way to spend a snowy night.  What better way to make it through snow and cold than by a roaring fireplace in a secluded get away spot.  We're also just minutes away from Ober Gatlinburg for the skiers out there!  While we don't normally get as much snow as the rest of the Eastern United States we do get enough to make our cabins look picturesque and something out of a winter wonderland. Perfect weather for staying in, board games by the fire and cuddle sessions. We are so happy for those who go to experience these winter beauties of the Smoky Mountains. So stay a while and grab some hot cocoa and a book, and cuddle for a few nights with Bear Camp Cabins.
