Winter in Gatlinburg may be our favorite time of year; tranquil nights with snow lightly falling on the ground, days where we can see our breath as we go about our daily business and sitting by a roaring fire during the coldest times. We couldn’t imagine living anywhere else in the world and the magic of winter appeals to you as well, your Gatlinburg winter journey is guaranteed to make your dreams come true with its bevy of Gatlinburg winter things to do.
Day 1: Exploring your Cabin Rental Store Winter Escape
After traveling for many miles, you have finally made it to your home for the next seven days. Why not take this evening and explore all that we offer?

It may be cold and snowing outside, but you’re all warm and cozy and tucked away for the night in your vacation home away from home!
Day 2: Winter Tour of the Smokies
The roads are clear, but the trees are laden with snow laying heavy on their branches and you can see the snow-capped mountain tops that surround you. This is just a glimpse of what you can expect to see during your Great Smoky Mountains tour with the Tennessee Mountain Tours. Offering a variety of tours led by guides that actually live here, you will learn more about Gatlinburg than you could imagine as you explore the scenic landscape!
Day 3: Hit the Slopes on Your Gatlinburg Winter Journey
Ober Gatlinburg is a ski area that while it doesn’t compare to Vail or Aspen in size or snootiness, offers a nice number of trails on which you and your family can have an exhilarating day of fun! Located at 1001 Parkway #2, it features 10 trails and 4 lifts and offers rentals and lessons as well!
Day 4: Go See Some Good ‘Ole Boys!
Fans of almost everybody’s favorite 70s show will get the reference and will want to visit Cooter’s Place, at 542 Parkway. A tribute to the Dukes of Hazard, Cooter’s Place is filled with memorabilia from the show and quite often has special guests that stop in for a visit, including the ever beautiful Daisy Duke! Whatever your feelings on the show, it’s a fun place to visit and get out of the cold for a little while!
Day 5: Take a Hike
Yes, it’s cold outside, but you’ll quickly warm up when you hike to Andrew’s Bald!

With a steep ascent, it is best attempted by experienced hikers only.
Day 6: Wow, it’s Cold Outside
Not every day on your fabulous Tennessee vacation has to be about being on the go. Why not take this day and enjoy the luxuries of your Cabin Rental Store luxury escapes?
