To help you have the best trip possible, Auntie Belham’s Cabin Rentals has put together a few tips for planning a family reunion at our large group cabins in Gatlinburg TN.

Check in with Your Family as Early Possible

Planning a family reunion can be a bit complicated, because you need to coordinate the schedules of all your family members. To ensure that most of your relatives will be able to attend the reunion, we suggest reaching out to everyone as soon as possible. You don’t need to have hard and fast plans at this point; you just want to gauge interest and find out which dates would be best and which dates are definitely out of the question. As you call everyone, be sure to keep a list with everyone’s preferred dates. Hopefully there is plenty of overlap!

Long weekends can be great for family reunions, because most people get these days off from school and work. Some options include Martin Luther King Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, and Veterans Day.
