The Smoky Mountain region carries with it a rich heritage and culture. Likewise, the communities around the Smokies have helped establish the rustic, down-home atmosphere and mountain culture that hold strong throughout the region.

One of our family’s favorite possessions is our family sign. We purchased our first wood sign not long after we married, and in a matter of five years four more little wooden signs hung under ours with the name of each sweet son and darling daughter. Here are a few of the wood sign makers along the Parkway in downtown Gatlinburg. You can peruse each one and choose which you like best. Another idea is to simply choose the one closest to where you are staying, placing your order on your way into town that day, and picking it up […]

With the suffocating heat and humidity of summer, it is no wonder why many Gatlinburg visitors are choosing to do their sightseeing by automobile. While the Great Smoky Mountains National Park offers hundreds of miles of hiking trails, many visitors, due to health and age, are not able to take advantage of all that the Park has to offer. One of the most popular automobile sight-seeing routes is the Roaring Fork Motor Trail. This six mile paved road offers visitors a chance to glimpse into the primitive cabins, barns and homesteads that once ruled the Gatlinburg area. The entrance to […]
I think most people will agree that packing can be the most stressful part of a vacation. There’s so much to take into consideration; weather, occasions, emergencies, etc. So, allow me to get you started with a couple ideas (assuming your checking into a luxury cabin).

If it helps, do some research on the cabin you’re going to by checking out the website or calling to see what isn’t provided for you. For instance most cabins already have some essentials, like sheets, towels, soap, etc.; however, […]
