It snowed in Gatlinburg this week!

Funny thing! Winter usually arrives in Gatlinburg about the same time every year - right after the Christmas parade. We got several reports of a 'beautiful snowfall' in Gatlinburg earlier this week.

Winter is a fantastic time to visit Gatlinburg. Here are some pictures to prove it.

When you drive in through the National Park, you'll go through several tunnels. This is just one view as you come out of a tunnel.


Sometimes, the trees frost up like this one. This sure beats any 'flocked' Christmas tree!


Here's a view from the Tower deck at Smoky Mountain Tower. Yes, it's snowing across the way at Ober Gatlinburg.


This is a view of the storm last Christmas as it crossed Mt. LeConte. This was taken by our daughter, Kathy, from All Decked Out.


And finally, here's what All Decked Out looks like in the snow.

We think you'll agree - the Smokies are beautiful in the winter. And remember, we're only about 10 minutes from the best ski resort in the southeast - Ober Gatlinburg. So we hope you'll join us at either All Decked Out or Smoky Mountain Tower this winter for some great fun and spectacular scenery.

A very unusual situation - and a great deal!

We have a very unusual situation at both All Decked Out and Smoky Mountain Tower this month = and a really good deal to go with it.

Last year, we were almost completely full at both our cabins in December. But this year, we actually have some open dates.

All Decked Out is open from now through Thursday night, Dec. 22.

Smoky Mountain Tower has several weeknights open, including some dates before and after Christmas. Here's the calendar.


Our normal rate is $169.00 per night through December 15, and $199.00 per night for the last half of December. Also, we normally require guests to stay a minimum of 4 nights during the Christmas and New Year's period. But we've made two changes.

First, all available December nights are only $150.00 per night (plus tax). And we have reduced our minimums to fit the available nights - 3 nights before Christmas and 2 nights between Christmas and New Year's.

It's a busy time of year. But this is a great way to have a little fun and save money on your Christmas gifts at the local outlet malls. We're still getting inquiries for these dates, so please don't wait. Go to our Web sites to make your reservation, or call us for details at 865-325-9888. See you in Gatlinburg - this year!
