More ways to tell us what you think!

We're excited about a new feature on our Smoky Mountain Tower and All Decked Out Web sites. You can now tell us directly what you think about our cabins!

Look at the Smoky Mountain Tower home page (www.SmokyMountainTower.com) ...


...or the All Decked Out home page (www.SmokiesRentDirect.com)


Just above the green "Availability" box is a new line - "Post & Read Reviews." When you click on that line, it takes you to a page inviting you to submit a review or to read the reviews already submitted. If you click "Submit," you get a page that something like this:


You can easily write your own review of your stay at either cabin. When you submit your review, we'll be notified. We get the chance to read it and either accept it or reject it - but we can't change it. Of course, we'll accept it or, in rare cases, write you back (if you said something untrue or naughty). Then you'll be able to read your review.

Angie (our youngest daughter) set this all up for us, and she is still working on a few nuances and some instructions. But it's pretty much ready to go. From now on, we'll be inviting all guests to submit reviews. It's almost like an online guest book!

If you have ever stayed at either of our cabins, this is your invitation right now to write a review. And please come back often to see what others are saying. We expect to continue to take pictures of our in-cabin guest books and post them on our site, too. You'll find them when you click on "Guest Book Comments."

This is just one more way for you to communicate with us, and we look forward to hearing from you!

More comfort for you at All Decked Out

Our last few posts have featured Smoky Mountain Tower. So now - as promised - it's time for some news about All Decked Out.

We have just taken a big step to make the main room at All Decked Out more comfortable. We added two really comfy Lazy Boy rocker-recliners!


You can either just sit and rock, or you can pull the lever and lean back - almost horizontal! And they're a great place to relax and watch TV.

The addition of these rocker-recliners had a domino effect, requiring several other changes. you can find all the details on our Smokies Rent Direct Web site on the "What's New" page - complete with "before and after" pictures. There are a couple other changes that you can also read about there.

While you're on our Web site, this would be a good time to click on "Book Online Now" and make your reservations for All Decked Out, so you can enjoy the comfort of our new rocker-recliners in person!
