In most parts of the country, a new convenience store coming to town isn't exactly big news.

And when an event makes the local TV news, you know there's something to it.
If you've been thinking about traveling to the Great Smoky Mountains this summer but haven't made any plans yet, it's not too late. We still have availabilities in many of our properties in the Wears Valley/Pigeon Forge area of East Tennessee. And of course, once you arrive in the Smokies, you'll easily come up with all kinds of ways to keep yourself and your family entertained during your stay - everything from shows and attractions to outlet mall shops and great restaurants.
One of the things our guests enjoy so much about our cabin rentals is their rural setting. Most of our properties are located in places like mountainsides, mountaintops or scenic valleys, all of which take advantage of the natural beauty of the surrounding Great Smoky Mountains region. From views of the Smokies' highest peaks in the distance to the bucolic and rolling landscapes of Wears Valley, our guests enjoy the laid-back pace of living ensconced in such peaceful environs.
Some 10 million people from all over the world will visit the Great Smoky Mountains area this year.
