Douglas Lakeview Stables

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!

Nestled in the foothills of the Great Smokey Mountains, we provide wonderful trail riding memories. Views up to 40 miles. Our scenic trails wind along the shore of 33,000 acre Douglas Lake and through Mountain Valleys. There are several points where one can get a view of the Valley of The Cherokee. During certain times of the year, you can even ride out onto some of the islands in the middle of the lake! Ask about our sunset rides. 5 to 7 pm.

The Dollywood Foundation releases young Eagles back to Nature in this remote area. Keep your eyes open for them and the many other birds and wildlife along the trails.

Really, why would anyone ride in downtown smog and traffic noise when you can drive a few minutes to a wilderness area and ride where Indians lived along with early pioneers.

We have, without bragging, the very best views anywhere.
