Some people are saying that, if the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is closed, there is no reason to go to Gatlinburg.
That is a MYTH! In fact, one of the reasons we purchased All Decked Out and Smoky Mountain Tower is because there is SO MUCH to do in the area - and the Park is just one piece of that pie.
Check out this website for a more complete response to this myth:

If that doesn't give you enough things to do, try the websites for Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, which are less than 15 minutes from either of our cabins:

We hope you will join us this month for God's great display of colors. From what we've heard, it's supposed to be especially good this year. We're pretty confident you won't be disappointed! Of course, you can always write to us if you have any questions.
See you in the Smokies - Park or no Park!

Do you like exotic food?
I just have to show you one more picture from Grand Cayman. We had a great dinner at 'Over the Edge' on the north side of Grand Cayman. This was our meal:
Starting at the top left, the yellow items that look like bananas are fried plantain. Then that purple item was boiled turtle in a wonderful wine reduction sauce. Moving clockwise, you'll find fried conch and mahi-mahi (by the lemons). On the bottom right is a breadfruit salad (breadfruit is like potato and is featured in Herman Melville's 'Mutiny on the Bounty'). Then we had green vegetables and rice.
This may not be something you will find in a Gatlinburg restaurant, but it was all VERY delicious. I ate every bite!
As we get a little later in the year, we may tell you more about the Cayman Islands. We had a wonderful time. Now, it's back to work on giving you the best Smokies vacation possible. We've had several October bookings since we talked about the fall colors - including folks who are coming to All Decked Out from California, just to enjoy the spectacular color display. But we still have some open dates. So please check our calendars at www.SmokyMountainTower.com/Availability or www.SmokiesRentDirect.com/Availability. You don't want to miss out on the colors AGAIN, do you?
