Snow at All Decked Out

There has been quite a bit of snow in the mountains over Gatlinburg this winter. Traveling conditions aren't always the best when it snows, but roads are usually cleared pretty quickly. And when the sun comes out, it's a spectacular winter wonderland. So we thought you might like to see how beautiful it is around All Decked Out after a snowfall. Take a look!

Here's All Decked Out in the snow and sunshine.


The trees from the back deck are really beautiful.


This is across the street in front of our neighbors, Mike and Sally West.


As you can see, it's quite a sight. We hope you'll join us at All Decked Out this winter for great scenes like these. You can book your winter vacation at www.SmokiesRentDirect.com/availability.

Tower Room at Smoky Mountain Tower

We're still trying to figure out the best use of the Tower Room at Smoky Mountain Tower. These are our latest photos.

This view looks west, toward Ober Gatlinburg. You can see the exercise machine on the left, a little rolling table and the washer/dryer area.


Moving to the right, you can see the washer and dryer, plus the half bath and sink area. On the far right are the steps coming up from downstairs.


Keep on moving right. You can see a little closet door - that's the Tower Room heat pump. Then there's the TV, the door out to the deck, and our "Gazelle" exercise machine.


I'll tell you what we're thinking, but we don't know if it's possible. We'd like to move the queen sofa-sleeper from the Bonus Room up to the Tower Room. If we can do it (it's really heavy), we would then put a queen bed in the Bonus Room, and put vertical blinds over the doorway for privacy. That would provide room for 2 more people to sleep, although they'd have to share a bathroom.

What do you think? We'd love to hear from you about this - just write to Dave@SmokyMountainTower.com. Thanks!
