Whether you are looking for a relaxing weekend of lounging in a Smoky Mountain cabin or you’re ready for a weekend of adventure, the Smokies have tons of fun waiting for you!
1. Rainforest Adventures
If you’re an animal lover, one fun way to enjoy the Smoky Mountains fall foliage is to spend an afternoon exploring Rainforest Adventures Discovery Zoo! While a large portion of the zoo is indoors, making it great for cool or rainy days, there is also a large outdoor area which is especially beautiful in the fall. You will get the chance to see over 600 animals from rainforests all across the world, and you’ll love getting to pet and feed the outdoor animals! This is an interactive and educational attraction that your whole family will enjoy!
2. A Cabin Retreat with Your Loved One
Another wonderful way to soak in the beauty of the Smoky Mountains fall foliage is to take a weekend trip with your significant other to a cozy cabin in the woods. Our 1 bedroom Smoky Mountain cabins are the perfect place to relax, unwind and spend some much needed alone time with your loved one. For a great start to the day, wake up and watch the sunrise peek over the mountains from the privacy of your cabin’s deck. Spend all day shopping and exploring with your significant other, and spend the evening sipping on your favorite drink while soaking in your cabin’s secluded hot tub. A fall retreat to the Smokies is just what you and your special someone have been needing!
3. Zipline Tour
For a special and very unique view of the Smoky Mountains fall foliage, strap on a harness and fly above the brightly colored trees on a Smoky Mountain zipline adventure! At 300 feet above the ground and spanning almost 5 miles of lines, this zipline tour is one of the best in the Smokies. Your whole family will love getting bird’s eye views of the fall foliage!
4. Cades Cove
For an all day excursion, Cades Cove is a great way to experience mountain life to the fullest. There are many ways to take in the Smoky Mountains fall foliage from Cades Cove, including hiking or biking the trails, walking around old churches and cabins and driving the 11 mile loop. The driving loop is a good way to see animals, such as deer, bears, mountain cats and many types of birds, from the comfort of your car. If you like to camp, pack a tent and some essentials and plan to stay the night in the Cove!
5. Family Vacation
Out of all the fabulous ways to experience the Smoky Mountains fall foliage, one of the most rewarding is to spend a weekend at a Smoky Mountain cabin with the people you love the most. Treating your kids and your spouse to a few days in the mountains is a great way to unwind from the stress of everyday life, and it’s also a fun way to bond and connect. Your kids will enjoy helping build a fire in the outdoor fire pit, and you will all love gathering in the theater room to laugh through a few of your favorite movies. Your kids will love it so much that they’ll be begging you to book another weekend in our cabins!
