This is the Best Time to Stay at Gatlinburg Falls Resort!

Looking for a cabin in Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge? Now is the time to get your Smoky Mountain cabin and find a few things to do in Gatlinburg! We love checking out cabins in the woods – and Cabins of the Smoky Mountains has been our top choice for several years.

Our love for traveling to locations with breathtaking views, stunning sunsets and a rich history runs deep. So when the news came that fires had greatly touched the Gatlinburg and Smoky Mountain area – our hearts were broken. It’s one of the few places that we consider a home-away-from home and it was hard to imagine what type of damage the area had suffered. The mountains seem to always be calling our name and for us, the desire to journey Gatlinburg’s way was intense.

A few years ago, we visited the area and spent an amazing week in a cabin at Gatlinburg Falls Resort. We reminisce often of our stay and were eager to return and to check on the cabin as well as other places that held so many memories. To be honest, as word-of-mouth took over after the fire, we seemed to get a lot of mixed stories on how well Gatlinburg survived and how they were rebounding. After doing a little research, we found that most of what we heard was incorrect. Though we would never marginalize any loss suffered – we were happy to see that damage was minimal in comparison to what it could have been.

We love that they offer such a nice variety of cabin sizes.

Such amazing views without being far removed from all of the park and Gatlinburg fun.

When we arrived, we were pleased to see that Gatlinburg Falls Resort was largely as we remembered it. Beautiful, quiet, and peaceful – even with the rebuilding they were undergoing due to fire damage. We stayed at their Parkview property and found out that they had lost seven cabins in the fire.

It was fascinating to see that these cabins were already being rebuilt along with a Welcome Center that had been lost.

In so much of the area – you wouldn’t even know a fire had swept through. Though there are a few businesses in Gatlinburg that must be entirely rebuild – most were untouched by fire. At least one of these businesses, the Gatlinburg Sky Lift, has already completed their rebuild and have re-opened!

It’s encouraging to see the area swinging back, and quickly! As we walked the Parkview property and once again pointed out our favorite cabins – it was great to see that they had been working so hard to clean up and rebuild, that other than the new cabins, you couldn’t hardly tell that the property had been touched by the fire. Nature’s regrowth coupled with their efforts was a refreshing sight.

We were happy to see much regrowth and rebuilding. We’re so excited to see the area blessed with amazing people who are beyond resilient. This is truly the best time to support Gatlinburg with a visit and make your reservation at Gatlinburg Falls Resort. If you’ve been wanting to get to Gatlinburg or love the area as we do – again, this is the year to make time to go!

I also suggest following them on social media. Following social accounts or browsing Edreams is a great way to find travel deals for quick weekend trips. So, this is a great place to keep up with any specials they may offer throughout the year – which are great for those unplanned, last-minute getaways!
