I hate it when that happens!

It's 9:45 pm on Friday night, December 7.

Somebody just missed staying in Smoky Mountain Tower AND All Decked Out for the last full open weekend of 2012.

Some family missed the Gatlinburg Christmas Parade, on an absolutely beautiful night.

Some group is missing a fantastic weather weekend, when the temperatures are supposed to be in the high 60s.

But that's okay.  We still have a few nights left before Christmas, if you want to get some last-minute Christmas shopping done at the Pigeon Forge outlet malls.

We still have our November/December deal in place.  When we had 6 or more consecutive nights available, you could have saved 25% off our already-low rates.  Now, we're down to 15% off for a 2 or 3 night stay, or 20% off for a 4 or 5 night stay.

But hey - you know what?  It's Christmas.  So if you'll write to me at Dave@SmokiesRentDirect.com and ask me for my best Christmas deal, I just might be able to do better on the prices.  This is your last chance for 2012.  I'm only listing this offer here - not even on our websites.  And I'm not going to say anything more about 2012 deals ever again!  It's going off all our advertising sites tomorrow, so we can concentrate on our big one-day sale on 12-12-12.

We've already told you that we're cutting all our prices for the first half of 2013 on 12-12-12 to just $121.00 a night (plus tax).  But we came up with an even better idea, which we will tell you about next week.  You're gonna be REALLY GLAD you read our Blog or follow us on Facebook, because this is the only place you're going to find out about our better idea.  So keep checking - I'll get it posted as soon as I can!

10 - 9 - 8 ... The Countdown Begins!

We're at 7.  Just 7 days - one week - until our biggest sale for 2013.  Remember, on 12-12-12, we're lowering the prices for all stays from January 2 through June 30 at either All Decked Out or Smoky Mountain Tower to just

$121.00 per night 

 (plus tax).

That's a savings of $38.00 per night - which works out to a discount of almost 24%.  We have already heard from folks who are making their plans to reserve their stays at 12:01 am on December 12.  And we are getting inquiries for dates during this time period.  So we hope you will contact your family and friends and choose your dates.

Meanwhile, just in case you are a last-minute person, we still have both cabins open for this weekend, as well as some other dates this month.  And we still have our November/December deal in place.  So it's not too late for a little Christmas shopping at the Pigeon Forge Outlet Malls, and some fun in the process!

You can get all the information on the Specials page at our websites:

Remember, you need a coupon code for any stays this month - you'll find it on the Specials pages.  But you need to hurry, so we can make sure to be all ready for you.  No coupon codes will be needed on 12-12-12.

Whether you're coming to Gatlinburg this year or next, we're ready for you.
