For people who just have to stay wired...

Vacation is supposed to be a time for rest and relaxation, right? But, if you're like me, you still have to stay 'wired' - no matter where you are.

That's why we offer broadband wireless Internet at both Smoky Mountain Tower and All Decked Out. It has always worked very well at All Decked Out. But the coverage has been a little spotty at times if you're at Smoky Mountain Tower.

I think we've got that fixed! You see, the wireless router used to be locked up in the garage. Not only did that reduce the signal, but if the router tripped, there was no way to get in and reset it. So we have now moved the router to the living room. If you look carefully, you'll see it tucked behind the DVD/VCR player, right under the TV.


Now, the signal is great in the living room and the sunroom - and actually on upstairs, too. Also, if the router trips, it's very easy to reset.

This is just one more way that we look out for our guests. Because we know that 'it's the little things that count.' And sometimes, staying 'wired' isn't so little! If there are other things like this that we can do to make your stay more enjoyable, please let us know.

New Additions for Smoky Mountain Tower

If you read our posts regularly, you may have found this little tidbit hidden near the end of our last post of 2011:

While I was writing this post, I got a text from Marcia (our daughter) telling me about something she just purchased for Smoky Mountain Tower. Hint: her husband works at Cracker Barrel.

I was sure SOMEBODY would have guessed what this 'thing' was. But I guess I'll have to tell you. We're adding two of the famous Cracker Barrel rocking chairs in the Tower room at Smoky Mountain Tower.


Marcia and John will bring them over later this month (they're coming with their Sunday School class to stay at both All Decked Out and Smoky Mountain Tower). So if you want to enjoy our new rockers, now will be a good time to make your reservations. We still have good dates in February. Hope you can join us for a "rocking" good time!
