It's HOT!

I just got another heat advisory for Gatlinburg from the National Weather Service.  It's supposed to be in the high 90s again today in Gatlinburg.  But I just checked one of the Gatlinburg cams at http://www.gatlinburgtnlive.com/gatlinburg/gatlinburg-downtown-webcam.asp and it looks like people are having a great time.  Right now (about 11:00 am), the temperature in Gatlinburg is 83 degrees.

But up at Smoky Mountain Tower or All Decked Out, our guests are probably enjoying cooler temperatures.  It's typically 10 degrees cooler up at our cabins than it is in Gatlinburg.  In fact, the Weather Channel is reporting 76 degrees right now at Ober Gatlinburg!

So if you want to beat the heat, you should come to All Decked Out or Smoky Mountain Tower.  Because the thing that's REALLY hot there are our prices.  We have been comparing our prices to similar cabins in the area and we are almost always the lowest price for comparable cabins (3 bedrooms, 2 or 3 baths, over 2,500 square feet).  Other cabins sometimes have a little lower nightly rate.  But by the time they add on registration fees, cleaning fees, and extra person fees (plus some other weird fees like hot tub cleaning), we almost always end up to be cheaper.

In fact, we sometime have people ask us, "What's wrong with your cabin, that the price is so cheap?"  The answer is - NOTHING is wrong.  Our guest book comments and reviews on our advertising sites prove that!  We've chosen to keep prices low so we can keep them filled.  But we can't keep prices this low forever.  Our costs are going up, just like everyone else's. 

July is almost completely booked, but there are still a few good dates.  And there's lots of availability in August.  So be cool and come to Gatlinburg, while the prices are hot.
