August 28, 2014

There is no such thing as over-preparing for a Smoky Mountain vacation. In fact, doing a little pre-planning before you get to the area is actually the easiest way to ensure that you and your family will have the most memorable vacation experience possible.

How can this be true? Ready our four reasons on why pre-planning for your Smoky Mountain vacation is important below!

1. Saves Money

The farther in advance you begin to plan for your Smoky Mountain vacation, then that means the more time you will have to look for the best deals and specials on your favorite things to do in the Smoky Mountains. Sure, sometimes you will see some companies advertise a last minute deal or a certain special only if your book after a certain date, but in reality you are actually better off booking in advance than chancing the risk of not finding a cabin special at all.

To show you what we mean, be sure to check out the Gatlinburg cabin specials page on our website. There you can find all the many great deals that we offer year-round.

2. Helps You Avoid Traffic

Being so close to the most popular national park in the country definitely has its benefits. However, there is a downside to it as well because we also have certain times of the year where traffic levels are quite high. This especially true when the leaves in the Great Smoky Mountains change colors for the fall.

That being said, with a little pre-planning, you and your family can easily avoid all the traffic in the area. Because you will have already taken the time to decide where and what you want to do during your Smoky Mountain vacation, it won’t be hard to map out a driving route that avoids the Parkway.

Another added benefit to this is that you will be able to see a whole new side of the area that you may not have seen before because you will be taking a different driving route.

3. Ensures You Will Be Able to do Everything You Want

As we have already mentioned, pre-planning your Smoky Mountain vacation means that you will have a chance to go ahead and pick out all of the thrilling attractions in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg that you and your family will want to experience while you are here.
