August Eclipse in the Smokies

Some of you might have heard by now that we’re having a partial eclipse coming up late this Summer on August 21st, for 2017. And if you haven’t heard by now, we’re happy to be ones to inform you!

Family Time in the Smokies

“The Smokies Are Calling” is the new advertising campaign to bring attention back to the East Tennessee mountains for the start of the Spring tourism season and a more fitting phrase can not be found. Right now, flowers are blooming, trees are turning green, grass is showing back up on lawns, fields and between the rocks on mountain walls. The temperatures are generally getting closer and closer to the 70s on average and we’re even going to have Daylight Savings Time coming up here in less than a week. Can you believe that?

New Years in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge

Hello and welcome to the last week for 2016! We’re sure you have some strong feelings about this year as we all do, but we’re ending the year and beginning the next with a BANG here in the Smokies and we wanted to let you know where we’re celebrating it this year.

Regarding Summit Cabin Rentals and the Wildfires

As most of you know, this has been quite an unusual week for all of us here in the Smoky Mountains and particularly here at Summit Cabin Rentals. The wildfires and damages sustained from them have been a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence and because the level of emergency needed has been almost unprecedented in our generation in the Smokies, there are still more questions than answers.

Winterfest Kickoff Events For 2016

With the Harvest Festival season done for the year, now we look forward to gearing up for the big holiday festivities to last until the start of 2017. We do this with a series of Winterfest Kickoffs in Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Sevierville where we party, have some entertainment groups play on stage, build some fun sets for the kids, shoot off fireworks (in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg), cook up some chili (in Gatlinburg) and throw on the Winterfest lights for trolley tours and driving visitors.
