4 Ways to Save Money When You Vacation at Our Affordable Gatlinburg Cabin Rentals

Posted on September 30, 2021

It’s easy to have an amazing vacation in Gatlinburg, TN without spending an arm and a leg! We have a wonderful selection of affordable Gatlinburg cabin rentals that come with all of the amazing amenities you’re looking for! In addition to choosing the right cabin, there are a number of other strategies for coming in under budget on your Smoky Mountain getaway. Here are 4 of our favorite ways to save money on vacation:

1. Invite Family and Friends to Come with You

One great way to make your trip to Gatlinburg more affordable is to bring family and friends with you! When you stay with another couple or extended family, you can split the cost of renting a cabin with the other guests. Going on vacation with other people also allows you to share other expenses, such as food and gas. When it comes to taking a vacation in the Smokies, more is definitely merrier!

2. Take Advantage of Free Things to Do

  • The Great Smoky Mountains National Park has no entrance fee and is open to anyone and everyone. You could easily spend your whole vacation enjoying the park’s hundreds of miles of hiking trails, scenic picnic areas, and historic homesteads.

  • All of the moonshine distilleries in downtown Gatlinburg provide complimentary samples to guests and frequently host free concerts. If you are more of a wine drinker, you can check out the Gatlinburg Wine Trail. When you visit all of the wineries on the trail, you will taste each shop’s select wines and receive a few free gifts to take home.

  • Visiting the galleries and studios in the Gatlinburg Arts & Crafts Community is a great way to spend an afternoon. There is no charge for admiring the artwork, although there are plenty of opportunities for buying souvenirs.

  • During the summer months and the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas, downtown Gatlinburg hosts free entertainment as part of the Smoky Mountain Tunes and Tales festival.

3. Cook Meals at Your Cabin

Obviously, you will still want to check out Gatlinburg’s great restaurants, but cooking some of your own meals will save you a ton of money!
