Why Cabins Beat Hotels for Business Travelers<\/h2>\n

While families vacationing in the Smokies make up the majority of our guests, we want you to know that, at Cabins For You, our cabins are the right choice even if you aren\u2019t traveling for pleasure. And with Gatlinburg\u2019s large convention center, the central location of the Smokies, and easy access to hundreds of restaurants and attractions, it\u2019s no wonder businesses choose Gatlinburg for company-wide meetings and retreats.<\/p>\n

So whether you\u2019re staying on your own, with your family, or with a large group of coworkers, be sure to book your stay at a Gatlinburg cabin today. Need more incentive? Check out these 5 reasons cabins beat hotels for the business traveler in the Smokies.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Cabins provide plenty of room.<\/strong>
    \nIf your business trip to the Smokies involves company meetings and presentations, you\u2019re going to need plenty of space. Even a small group of coworkers needs table space and comfortable seating to make it through an hours-long presentation with ease. In our large group cabin rentals<\/a>, you\u2019ll find large, cozy living rooms and dining tables where you can spread out and stay comfortable throughout the day.<\/p>\n

    With large couches, comfy chairs, ceiling fans, end tables, reading lamps, and (often) large windows overlooking the beautiful Smoky Mountains, our cabins\u2019 living rooms are far more comfortable than any hotel board room, and the best part is, they\u2019re conveniently located inside your Gatlinburg cabin!<\/p>\n

    If you\u2019re traveling on your own, you\u2019ll have plenty of different places to work throughout the cabin without being crammed into an uncomfortable corner of a hotel room. You can even get some work done while out on the deck, if you can peel your eyes away from the gorgeous views!<\/li>\n

  2. Cabins provide the amenities you need.<\/strong>
    \nFor groups planning large-group presentations in the Smokies, you\u2019ll likely need special equipment like big screen TVs, DVD players, and high speed wireless. At Cabins For You, you\u2019ll find all three of these amenities in most of our Gatlinburg cabins, at no extra cost like in a hotel space. You can also ask our reservation specialists about cabins with specific amenities like smart TVs, Blu-ray players, CD players, and wireless internet.<\/p>\n

    What else do our cabins offer? When you\u2019re ready for a quick break during the day, take advantage of the coffee maker and microwave in the kitchen. Or you can step out onto a rocking chair porch for some fresh air. It\u2019s amenities like these that make all the difference in your business getaway to Gatlinburg!<\/li>\n

  3. Cabins provide a space for company meals.<\/strong>
    \nWhen it\u2019s time to break for lunch, there\u2019s no need to leave the site when you stay in one of our Gatlinburg cabins. That\u2019s because we offer full-size kitchens, where you can set out a selection of deli meats, bread, cheeses, and condiments for a quick lunch that saves a ton of money and time. Or you can have lunch catered and brought to the cabin by     popular restaurants in the Gatlinburg area<\/a>. Bennett\u2019s Pit Bar-B-Q and Calhoun\u2019s are both great choices that offer catering to group events.<\/p>\n

    And when it comes to company meals, our cabins not only provide plenty of options, but also plenty of room to spread out. Enjoy eating in the dining room or even on the porch (look for a cabin comes with patio tables and\/or rocking chairs). You\u2019ll have amazing views, privacy, and fuss-free parking when you plan company meals at your Gatlinburg cabin!<\/li>\n

  4. Cabins are more economical than individual hotel rooms.<\/strong>
    \nWhen you book a hotel room in the Gatlinburg area, you can spend anywhere from $120 to $200 per room per night. And this doesn\u2019t include the cost of renting a large space for meetings, renting a private dining hall, or taking your group out for a midday meal. But when you stay in one of our large-group cabins, you\u2019ll have access to all three of these spaces in one convenient location.<\/p>\n

    You\u2019ll have your dining area and kitchen, your meeting space, and your private bedrooms all inside your Gatlinburg cabin for around $150 per room. Not only is this more economical when it comes to the money you would spend on staying in the Gatlinburg area, but it\u2019s also easier on your gas tank. You won\u2019t be wasting time and money driving from the hotel to your meeting facility. You can also save a ton of money by eating in the cabin using the available appliances in your full-size kitchen!<\/p>\n

    And if you\u2019re an individual business traveler, you\u2019ll still appreciate that money-saving option paired with the comfort of having your own private space to work. You won\u2019t have to worry about the noise of the hotel rooms next to you when you work in your own cabin.<\/li>\n

  5. Cabins are way more fun!<\/strong>
    \nEven if you\u2019re coming to the Smoky Mountains to work, we don\u2019t think your stay should be all work and no play! So book your stay at one of our Gatlinburg cabins, and you\u2019ll have so much more than comfortable bedrooms, a convenient kitchen, and a spacious living room. You\u2019ll also have a variety of entertaining amenities when it\u2019s time to put away your laptop and have some fun!<\/p>\n

    Some of the amenities our cabins have to offer include a variety of game tables, outdoor hot tubs, outdoor fire pits, and even private indoor pools<\/a>! We also have cabins that are ideally located within miles of downtown Gatlinburg, providing access to dozens of group attractions<\/a> like Ripley\u2019s Aquarium of the Smokies and Ober Gatlinburg\u2014both of which are part of our Cabins For You Partner Program. Ask our reservation specialists for more information about discounts available within this program and about our long list of cabin amenities. We\u2019ll help you find the cabin that works best for your business trip this year!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
