If you’re searching for the perfect destination for your next family reunion, look no further than the Smoky Mountains! This area is known for its beautiful scenery and variety of things to do for all ages, making it enjoyable for each generation! Our large cabins in the Smokies have plenty of room for everyone to stay under one roof, providing wonderful opportunities for quality time together and family bonding. Here’s your ultimate guide to help you plan a memorable family reunion in the Smokies:
1. Choose Your Travel Dates
Before you can start booking your cabin or buying attraction tickets, it’s important to get your family to agree on travel dates, as each season in the Smoky Mountains brings its own unique experiences. In the spring, the mountains come alive with colorful wildflowers and pleasant weather. Summer is great for outdoor activities in the fresh mountain air. In autumn, you can experience vibrant fall foliage and seasonal festivals. Winter is popular for its holiday celebrations, snowy activities, and festive lights. To help your family decide on travel dates, check local event calendars and choose a time that fits your interests.
2. Book Your Large Cabin Early
Planning a Smoky Mountain family reunion is easiest if you start early! You want to allow plenty of time to figure out dates with your busy family members and get an accurate headcount. Once you know how many people are planning on coming, you can start searching for the right lodging. You’ll love spending your family reunion at our large cabins in the Smokies! We have large cabins with up to 26 bedrooms that can sleep 100 guests, offering spacious common areas and plenty of privacy. You can browse by your selected dates to see which cabins are available for your family reunion. The earlier you book, the more options will be available for you to choose from!
3. Plan Your Family Reunion Itinerary
Once you’ve booked your cabin, it’s time to start planning your family reunion itinerary! Our large cabins in the Smokies provide many ways to have fun and relax, such as game rooms, private indoor pools, theater rooms, hot tubs, fire pits, and decks with rocking chairs and mountain views! There’s also a variety of exciting attractions and activities nearby in Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park that all generations can enjoy together, from hiking to family-friendly shows to museums and more! Coordinate with your family to decide which attractions are a must, and book tickets in advance for the best deals. When you stay with us, you also get access to our Alpine Chalet Rentals Perks for special group rates at popular attractions!
4. Coordinate Meals
Food is one of the most important parts of a family reunion! When hunger strikes, you can enjoy a delicious meal at one of the many great restaurants in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. If your entire group wants to dine together, you may want to make a reservation or call in advance to ensure the restaurant has enough space for everyone. Additionally, each of our large cabins in the Smokies has a fully equipped kitchen and spacious dining area for cooking and dining as a group! You can create a schedule of who will cook which meals each day so there’s no confusion. Stop by a grocery store on your first day to gather all the food and supplies you’ll need during your stay.
5. Decide on Transportation
Before your Smoky Mountain family reunion can begin, you’ll need to ensure everyone has reliable transportation to get to the Smokies. You can coordinate carpools to reduce the number of vehicles that will be parked at your cabin rental. Another great option is booking a bus so everyone can arrive together! For those traveling from further away, book flights and rental cars in advance for the smoothest travel day possible. You want transportation to be reliable and enjoyable so everyone can reach your destination on time and in a great mood!
6. Start Packing for Your Trip
Our large cabins in the Smokies offer a variety of entertainment, so make sure you pack the right gear so you can enjoy it all! Bring a swimsuit for the hot tub or swimming pool. While our kitchens are fully equipped, you’ll need to supply your own groceries, so make a shopping or packing list for meals. You may also want to bring DVDs to watch in the theater room, books to read in front of the fireplace, cards or board games for family tournaments, and a camera for capturing special moments. Determine other items to pack based on the season and the activities you plan on doing. Create a packing list to make sure you won’t forget anything, and consider sharing it with the rest of your family reunion so everyone will have what they need.
