The entire Cabins For You staff enjoyed looking through the submissions and voting on the top picks. We spend months working diligently to ensure our guests enjoy their Smoky Mountain vacations! So it is an amazing opportunity to hold a contest like this as our way of saying \u2018Thank You\u2019 to our loyal guests and social media fans. We love getting the chance to see the photos from around the Smoky Mountains and enjoy seeing the talent that our fans have for photography.<\/p>\n

As always, we would like to take a moment to thank all of you for participating in this year\u2019s photo contest and for submitting the creative and beautiful photo entries. There were adorable pictures of children, unknowing animals, and breathtaking nature-filled scenes. We thank you for participating and keeping up with this contest over the last several months.<\/p>\n

We look forward to hosting this contest every year and are grateful for everyone\u2019s support. We will be contacting the winners via e-mail.
