Cabin Of The Week – Southern Nights

Posted on by

Sometimes, a huge cabin is what you need on a Smoky Mountain getaway. But sometimes, the situation may call for the exact opposite, especially if a honeymoon or romantic weekend for two is part of your travel plan. If so, then Southern Nights may be just what the love doctor ordered.

This one-bedroom log home is in the Happy Hollow area of Wears Valley and is blessed with a secluded location and beautiful wooded views. Inside, you’ll find two fireplaces and a heart-shaped whirlpool tub, while outside is a hot tub on the deck for warm-water relaxation in virtually any season.

And as is the case with all our rentals, this cabin comes with all the necessities like a kitchen with appliances, dishes and utensils; bed linens and towels and all the bathroom and household supplies you’ll need to get through your stay.

Alternate Ways To Get To The Smokies

Posted on by

While the majority of folks traveling to the Great Smoky Mountains travel here by car, there are other ways of getting to Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Sevierville. For those who want to let someone else do the driving (or flying), here is a quick overview of what’s available.

• McGhee Tyson Airport – This regional/national airport is your best bet for flying in. A number of major and budget airlines serve the facility. Once you’re on land, you can either rent a car at the airport or pay a shuttle service to transport you to your lodging destination in the Smokies.

• Megabus – This very affordable bus service has become a popular method of traveling from city to city. Those arriving in Knoxville get off the bus at the downtown transit station and then must arrange for a taxi or shuttle service to get to their final destination.

• Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge Airport – This local air facility is actually located in Sevierville but offers handy proximity to Smokies accommodations and even can offer rental car services on site.

Once you make it to the Smokies, our cabins in Wears Valley, TN are easy to find. Just check in at our rental office, and we’ll provide you with a map to get to your individual cabin unit.

More Winterfest Fun In Pigeon Forge

Posted on by

Christmas is behind us, and Valentine’s Day is bearing down on us. But that doesn’t mean that Winterfest is over in the Smokies. In fact, you have until the end of this month to take part in the four-month-long celebration of winter in the mountains.

For starters, you can still check out all the Winterfest light displays along the Parkway and on many of the other major routes around town. Brilliant animated LED displays are still bringing an element of magic to the Pigeon Forge nights. And with traffic down during this time of year, getting out in your car and going for a lights tour of your own is a cinch.

There are also more special events coming up in Pigeon Forge. For example, this Thursday through Saturday (2/7 – 2/9), check out the Smoky Mountain Gospel Jubilee at Country Tonite Theatre. Other upcoming events include the February Freeze 5k race on February 9 and the 13th Annual Saddle Up!, which runs February 21 through 24 and is based at the Spirit of Smokies Condo Lodge.

And remember that our Wears Valley cabins are only a 10-minute drive from Pigeon Forge, so you can enjoy the best of both worlds. You can stay with us out in the middle of the Smoky Mountain solitude and scenery and then zip over to Pigeon Forge for your vacation entertainment.

The Ultimate In Cabin Relaxation

Posted on by

What could be more relaxing than kicking back and enjoying the scenery from one of our cabins in Pigeon Forge, TN? Well, we actually have an answer: Getting a therapeutic massage in your Smoky Mountain cabin.

At Volunteer Cabin Rentals, we can set up an appointment for an in-cabin massage from Beneficial to Life Therapeutic Massage. So you can spend the day doing what you enjoy doing in the Smokies—hiking, seeing shows, shopping, going to attractions—and then at the end of the day, you can come back to your cabin and let one of Beneficial to Life’s professional massage therapists send any lingering tension and stress right out the window.

Their services include an hour or more of Swedish and deep-tissue massage, hot stone massage, aromatic salt scrubs and steam tunnel therapy. Packages are available, ranging from a one-hour couple’s Swedish massage with choice of either Face Glow or Body Polish to a deluxe spa day for couples—a two-hour aromatic massage with sugar scrub facial and warm moisturizing mud bath. We can even add a candlelight dinner to any of their packages for an additional fee.

It’s a cold January day, and right now, you may be miles and miles and months and months away from your next trip to the Great Smoky Mountains. But you can do a little early looking and daydreaming if you get a look at what’s going on here courtesy of our Smoky Mountain web cam.

The view comes from our 1 In A Million rental cabin, which offers high-up views that stretch out across nearby ridges and valleys and distant mountains. In winter, the stark beauty of the landscape contrasts greatly with the abundant greenery of spring and summer, but it’s an awesome view any time of year. And if you can catch this view on a clear, sunny day (like the one we’re having on the day this blog post was written), you’re in for a real treat.

Speaking of 1 In A Million, it’s just one of the dozens of overnight cabins we have at Volunteer Cabin Rentals. We have everything from one- to 12-bedroom cabins located throughout the Wears Valley and Pigeon Forge area. The amenities are plentiful, the views are fantastic, and our properties are just minutes form Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, Sevierville and Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Deciding What To Do In The Smokies

Posted on by

There’s only one problem with taking a vacation in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee—there’s so much to do and so little time. In fact, if you visited every attraction in the Smokies, it could conceivably take you a lifetime full of vacations. So how can you go about narrowing down your choices for your next trip to the mountains?

• Consider eliminating things you’ve done before. So you’ve been to Dollywood, Ripley’s Aquarium and Titanic. This time, try some of the other dozens of attractions like Star Cars, the Elvis Museum or Rainforest Adventures.

• Shoot for a balance of indoor and outdoor fun. You might try to work in a music theater show one day and then balance that out with a hike in the national park. And there are activities like horseback riding, ziplining and Zorb that also get you into the great outdoors.

• Consider the age range of your group. If you’ve got young children with you, you may still want to consider a large attraction like Dollywood, which offers something for all ages. If it’s just adults, you can easily open up a wide range of options that may not appeal to the younger set.

• Consider your budget. It’s always helpful to set a price limit on your trip and then stay within it. That price cap may help you make some decisions when it comes to certain attractions. But the good news is that fun comes in all price ranges in the Smokies, so there’s no excuse for ending your visit unhappy.

When planning your next Smokies vacation, remember to visit our website and check out our selection of Wears Valley, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg cabin rentals.

5 Ways To Avoid Cabin Fever:

Posted on by

So here’s the scenario: You’re spending a few days or a week this winter with Volunteer Cabin Rentals, and it’s gotten awfully darned cold outside. The thought of getting out of the cabin isn’t very appealing, but at the same time, you don’t want to run the risk of being stuck inside together for so long that everyone’s starting to go a little stir crazy. What to do?

No worries. Our Smoky Mountain cabin rentals are designed to make sure that even the most quiet and lazy of days doesn’t necessarily translate into boredom. For example, consider marveling at the spectacle of snow-covered mountains from the warm comfort of your cabin’s main living room. Having a crackling fire going in the fireplace nearby will also help to cozy things up quickly. This would also be a great setting to curl up on the sofa with a good book and let your imagination run wild.

And even though it may be chilly outside, you’ll stay warm and relaxed while soaking in the hot tub. Day or night, this is a fun way to stay loose as a goose. There are also plenty of entertainment options in most of our cabins. Shoot a game of pool or start a foosball match in your cabin’s game room, or pop in a DVD (or three) and have a family movie marathon one night. Many cabins also come equipped with gaming systems that will keep fingers and thumbs clicking into the wee hours.
