As you plan your trip, be sure to consider staying in one of our amazing Smoky mountain cabins! To help you make the most of your trip, we have put together 5 tips for vacationing with kids in a 2 bedroom Gatlinburg cabin:
1. Go on an Adventure Downtown
Our cabins are conveniently located near plenty of exciting entertainment for the whole family. From the popular Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies to a variety of great mini-golf courses, you are sure to find the adventure you are looking for in downtown Gatlinburg. In addition to awesome attractions, the downtown area is also home to excellent shopping, dining, and sightseeing opportunities. No matter how old your kids are, you are sure to find the perfect family attraction that everyone will enjoy!
2. Have a Special Night with your Spouse in the Cabin
Having a night out with your spouse can be difficult when you have children. Take advantage of your cabin’s hot tub and enjoy a quiet and private night together after the kids have gone to sleep. Feel like you are finally getting that date night together all in the privacy of your cabin! Before romance time, you can make the kids feel special with a family movie night in our cabins with a home theater room or a game of air hockey in one of our cabins with a game room!
3. Explore Nature
Encourage your family’s wild side by visiting the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Enjoy the outdoors with a picnic, swimming, fishing, or hiking trip. Tour the Cades Cove loop and see wild deer, turkey, and even black bear, all from the comfort of your car. The possibilities are as endless as the trails of the park. A family hike is the perfect way to bond with your family and the beautiful nature in the Smokies!
4. Give the Kids Their Own Game Room
Many of our 2 bedroom Gatlinburg cabin rentals offer awesome game rooms with pool tables, foosball, TVs, wireless internet, and even vintage arcade games. Take advantage of your cabin’s entertainment by designating the game room as a “kid-zone”. Make the children happy by giving them their own special space while enjoying more quiet time for yourself. This is a good way for kids to have fun in the cabin, while the adults can enjoy some alone time together.
5. Enjoy the Special Time Together
Too often, our lives become too occupied with work, school, stress, and technology to really spend time enjoying one another’s company. How often do we sit with our family truly connecting with each other? A vacation at our cabins provide you with the ideal opportunity to reconnect with the ones you love. Consider a cabin with a home theater. After all, what is more important?
