4 Steps for Planning a Fantastic Fall Getaway at Our Gatlinburg Tennessee Rentals

Posted on August 23, 2016

Fall is a very special time to visit Gatlinburg, Tennessee! With 100 native species of trees, the Gatlinburg area offers some of the most spectacular autumn colors in the entire nation. In addition to the wonderful foliage, the fall months bring a number of excellent seasonal events to the area. Alpine Chalet Rentals has put together four easy steps for planning an amazing fall getaway at our Gatlinburg Tennessee rentals:

1. Schedule Your Trip to Coincide with the Fall Foliage

If you’re going to be vacationing in Gatlinburg during the fall, you definitely don’t want to miss the magnificent foliage! Fortunately, there is a pretty wide window of time to see the changing leaves. In most years, the last two weeks of October and the first week of November are ideal for leaf peeping. During this period, the lower elevations of the mountains are filled with vibrant reds, yellows, and oranges.

However, there is no need to panic if you can’t take your getaway during peak season! The end of September and the beginning of October offer great opportunities to see the autumn foliage in the higher elevations of the mountains. Clingmans Dome, for instance, boasts incredible views of the fall colors during this time.

2. Pick a Cabin with Great ViewsBeautiful mountain views from the deck of a Gatlinburg Tennessee rental in the fall.

A cabin is by far the best place to stay for a fall vacation in Gatlinburg. Tucked away in the foothills of the Smokies, cabins are immersed in the natural beauty that makes autumn such an incredible time in East Tennessee. Alpine Chalet Rentals has a great selection of cabins, with everything from 1 bedroom rentals to 12 bedroom lodges.

To make the most of the season, we suggest staying at one of our Gatlinburg Tennessee rentals with mountain views. There is nothing more relaxing than sitting in a rocking chair or kicking back in the hot tub as you admire the beautiful fall colors in the mountains.

3. Enjoy Halloween Festivities

While Gatlinburg’s stunning foliage is the main attraction for a fall getaway, that’s not all there is to see! Our Smoky Mountain city is also famous for its fantastic Halloween celebrations. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights in October, Ripley’s Haunted Adventures presents its annual Fright Nights. With monsters and mayhem behind every corner, these spooky events are sure to get your heart racing.

The Gatlinburg Space Needle also gets into the Halloween spirit with “Shocktober”. On select dates throughout the month of October, the Iris Theater will host special magic performances that combine thrills, chills, and laughter. Trust us, this is one show you don’t want to miss!

Hayrides are a fall tradition! If you will be visiting Gatlinburg this autumn, we suggest taking a scenic hayride with Cades Cove Riding Stables. As you travel through Cades Cove, your guide will regale you with the valley’s history and other stories about this unique area. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the beautiful fall foliage and some of the region’s iconic wildlife!
