2. Have a Special Night with your Spouse in the Cabin

Having a night out with your spouse can be difficult when you have children. Take advantage of your cabin’s hot tub and enjoy a quiet and private night together after the kids have gone to sleep. Feel like you are finally getting that date night together all in the privacy of your cabin! Before romance time, you can make the kids feel special with a family movie night in our cabins with a home theater room or a game of air hockey in one of our cabins with a game room!

3. Explore Nature

Encourage your family’s wild side by visiting the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Enjoy the outdoors with a picnic, swimming, fishing, or hiking trip. Tour the Cades Cove loop and see wild deer, turkey, and even black bear, all from the comfort of your car. The possibilities are as endless as the trails of the park. A family hike is the perfect way to bond with your family and the beautiful nature in the Smokies!

4. Give the Kids Their Own Game Room

Many of our 2 bedroom Gatlinburg cabin rentals offer awesome game rooms with pool tables, foosball, TVs, wireless internet, and even vintage arcade games. Take advantage of your cabin’s entertainment by designating the game room as a “kid-zone”. Make the children happy by giving them their own special space while enjoying more quiet time for yourself. This is a good way for kids to have fun in the cabin, while the adults can enjoy some alone time together.

5. Enjoy the Special Time Together

Consider a cabin with a home theater. After all, what is more important?
