In spite of the troubles going on in the world right now, time has continued to speed on by, and as we look at the calendars, many of us are surprised to discover that fall is just a few short weeks away! Offering the opportunity to forget about summer heat and new virus, these next few months are all about soft sweaters and vibrantly colored trees, pumpkin spice lattes and harvest moons, and hearty foods enjoyed in weather that is cool and crisp. If fall is your favorite soon and you find yourself longing to visit somewhere that offers a perfect representation of the season, a Gatlinburg vacation and a stay in one of our Cabin Rental Store fall escapes may be exactly what you need!
Smells Like Fall
Unlike winter, spring, and summer, fall has a scent that instantly transports you to its season, even if it’s January and you are bundled in winter coats and woolen socks. The smell of the first fire in the chimneys waft over the town, and the scents of pumpkin spice drinks and desserts fill our nostrils, as do the aromas of apples in all their forms. Nelson Farms, TN, located in the Arts and Crafts Community at 170 Glades Road has captured those scents, in the form of soaps and lotions and makes them available for purchase so as to be enjoyed during every season of the year!And when you visit their brick and mortar location, there’s no need to feel sad that you’ve fallen in love with their wares, because you can purchase everything you need and want in there online stores 24/7/365!
Tickles the Taste Buds
Just as the smell of fall can transport you, the tastes of the season are equally pleasing and equally powerful. The kitchens of our Cabin Rental Store autumn abodes are designed to be used, so why not take a rainy afternoon during your stay and create one of your favorite pumpkin dishes? Pumpkin pies made from fresh pumpkins you’ve purchased from the local Krogers have never tasted as sweet! And when the pies are ready to taste, the weather may be a little chilly outside but you will be cozy and warm, with a roaring fire in the fireplace, a hot beverage in one hand, and a slice of orange goodness on the plate in front of you!

Sometimes when traveling to a new place, you unexpectedly come across a special vista point that takes your breath away and makes you wonder how many spots like this you have missed before. Generally, we have a specific activity in mind during our travels: The Grand Canyon in Arizona, Disneyland in California, or the Empire State Building in New York. But who thinks about those special views that make you thankful you live in this world when trying to make sure you’ve packed for the weather or that you remembered to check in 24 hours in advance so as to get a decent seat on your flight? Why, we do, of course, and this guide the best spots for Gatlinburg sightseeing will be just the thing to ensure you don’t miss a thing during your Tennessee getaway!
Gatlinburg Sightseeing – Clingman’s Dome
The best place to start, in our mind, is at the top and Clingman’s Dome, located at the end of Clingman’s Dome Road and offering views that spread out over 100 miles on the clearest days, although air pollution can cut the visibility down to only 20 miles. Easy to get to, you take US441S to Newfound Gap Road to Clingman’s Dome Road, enjoy the seven-mile scenic drive to the large parking lot and then a short walk on the steep trail that leads you to the observation deck and those views!
Newfound Gap Road
You’re basically here already, so why not continue the tour of Gatlinburg sightseeing that will stop your heart—if only for a second! Discovered to be the lowest pass through the Great Smoky Mountains, cooler temperatures and views of the stunning landscape that surrounds you makes this area one of our favorite places to visit during the summer. In the fall, the landscape appears to be on fire when the trees are at their colorful best. Located just a tenth of a mile past Clingman’s Dome Road, Newfound Gap Road may be closed due to snow during the months of December through March, so plan accordingly.
The Gatlinburg Space Needle, 115 Historic Nature Trail
Sometimes the best views are accompanied by fantastic restaurants, fun arcades, and cool places to shop—at least when you’re in Gatlinburg and you visit the Gatlinburg Space Needle! It’s very simple to get to, just take US-321 S (also known as East Parkway) to Historic Nature Trail. You’ll know you have arrived when you look up and see the Space Needle! Take the glass elevator to the top, enjoy the breathtaking views of Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains found 407 feet up in the air, and wish that you never had to leave this spot ever again.
Wait, There’s More
While we can’t guarantee that the Gatlinburg sightseeing views from your Cabin Rental Store vacation escape will be as spectacular as the ones from the points listed above, we can promise that in most cases, they will be stunning, peaceful, and relaxing. Reserve your vacation rental today!

When vacationing in Gatlinburg, chances are you will want to be outside no matter what season you visit. Our natural landscape offers breathtaking vistas that never cease to please the soul, and even those who live here full time can never get enough of them, from the Great Smoky Mountains standing guard in the background to the Little Pigeon River that flows happily through the area to the beautiful parks designed to maximize your outdoor fun. Because we don’t want you to miss out on a single adventure during your stay in Gatlinburg, we’re offering this list of the most beautiful parks so you can find your favorite Gatlinburg park.
Abandoned Park
Have you ever felt the appeal of structures or places that no longer serve an active purpose? Abandoned warehouses offer photographic opportunities with rusty and broken equipment, the peeling paint and sagging porches on abandoned porches render rustic perfection to their images. Abandoned Gatlinburg Park features that kind of sad beauty that you can’t help but be drawn to. Active in the late 1990s and early 2000s, today the overgrown paths, deserted concrete benches, and dilapidated stone walls offer a dismal enchantment that makes it a perfect spot for adventurers seeking something a little different.
Mynatt Park, 622 Historic Nature Trail
Offering trails that lead through the beauty of the Gatlinburg wilderness, pavilions that are perfect for those looking for a scenic spot to say their wedding vows, and a tranquil stream that leads through the center of the park, allowing children the opportunity to try their hand at catching that night’s dinner, Mynatt Park is a favorite with locals and visitors alike. It’s tree-lined beauty, grassy fields, and occasional wildlife visitors make it the perfect spot for special photoshoots and quiet moments of contemplation.
Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Saving the best for last, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is more than just a Gatlinburg park; it’s an adventure that will linger in your psyche for years to come! Featuring sweeping views of the mountains and the landscape that surround them, the opportunity to explore this region, which first became a National Park in 1934, should not be missed. Whatever the season, this park is the pride of our state and is the perfect place to experience the beauty of Mother Nature. We can promise that the pictures you take here will be the best you’ve ever taken!
So Much More than a Gatlinburg Park
When the sun sets over the Great Smoky Mountains, signifying it is time to return to your Cabin Rental Store vacation escape, the serenity, peace, and beauty found here will remind you of the Park adventures you experienced earlier in the day.
