In this guide, we'll cover the magic of
Why Spend New Year's Eve in a Gatlinburg Cabin?
While other seasons in Gatlinburg are fun, there's no denying that Gatlinburg becomes a different city when the winter season hits.
As a mountain town, Gatlinburg is known for its winter scenery, thanks to snow-capped mountains, cozy shops, and a sense of old-town charm you won't find elsewhere. Add in the smaller crowds compared to busier seasons, and it's a time you and your loved ones get to slow down before another year begins.
The best part is you can still make your getaway match your travel plans. Are you in the mood for a quiet retreat? There are secluded cabin rentals that are a perfect fit. Do you prefer remaining connected to the town and its events? There are many resort communities that keep you close.
No matter your preferences, with the proper planning, you'll enjoy excellent
What to Look for in a New Year's Cabin Rental
No two cabins are the same, just like no two vacation plans are the same. What works for your group may not work for another. However, that doesn't mean you can't narrow down your options with some must-haves to make your stay special, such as:
- Spacious Deck
- Cozy Living Room
- Fully Equipped Kitchen
Once you've ensured the basics are met, it's time to consider extra features to enhance your stay. For example, the winter season brings cold wind and colder temperatures. For this reason, you'll want to consider a cabin rental with a fireplace right in the living room.
Do you prefer soaking up the ambiance of the Smoky Mountains? Stay in a hot tub cabin that helps you eliminate your stress. As a bonus, many cabins with this feature are also mountain view cabins, granting you the best of both worlds.
Relaxation is important while on vacation, but so is fun. Keep the kids (and yourself) entertained by staying in a game room cabin rental or possibly a cabin with a theater room.
