A couple of weeks ago, we told you about a new feature on our Web sties - the ability for you to post a review directly on our site.

Thanks to Mark and Nell for being the first to post a review. Here it is:

If you have stayed at Smoky Mountain Tower or All Decked Out, we'd love to have you post a review, too. Just go to either of our Web sites:
Smoky Mountain Tower - www.SmokyMountainTower.com
All Decked Out - www.SmokiesRentDirect.com

On the menu, click the line that says "Post & Read Reviews." That opens a page with instructions and a place to write your review. We'll watch for your review and post it just as soon as we can.

But wait! You say you've never been to either of our cabins, so you can't write a review? Oh my! This is the BEST time for you to go, because our prices for February are reduced by $29.00 a night. We've already had several guests take advantage of this great deal. But hurry - dates are going fast. We have some midweek nights open, but only one weekend - February 25-26 at All Decked Out. And the $29/night savings goes away after - you guessed it - February 29!

More ways to save in Gatlinburg

Did you know that you can save money on local (Gatlinburg) restaurants, shops and attractions when you stay at All Decked Out or Smoky Mountain Tower?

We're located in Chalet Village, and we are therefore members of the Chalet Village Owners Club. Beside swimming (in season) and tennis, you can now use the Owners Club pass we provide at more than 25 local establishments and save up to 20%. The pass and complete instructions are in the Welcome Notebooks at our cabins. But if you want more details right now, just visit www.ChaletVillageOwnersClub.com and click on the blue box that looks like this. In fact, you can just click on the blue box below and it will take you directly to the Owners Club specials page.


It's just one more way that we bring greater value to your Smokies vacation.

By the way, don't forget our February $29-off special. We still have a few nights open. You can find details on our Web sites - just click on Specials in our menu.

A map of downtown Gatlinburg

When you're planning your trip to Gatlinburg, have you ever wondered just what businesses and attractions are located in downtown Gatlinburg? Do you wonder exactly where the tram to Ober Gatlinburg is located?

We have found just the map you need! Our friends at DiscoverTheSmokies.com have put together a map that shows every business and attraction on the Parkway in downtown Gatlinburg. You can find it here - http://thegreatsmokeymountainsparkway.com/_map/gatlinburg/parkway.htm. It was just updated less than a week ago! You will find every business listed, starting at the National Park (south) end and proceeding all the way to the north city limits. An added feature is the ability to click on a name and "peek inside" the business. In the case of restaurants, you may even get a look at the menu!

And don't forget. We offer discounts at a number of restaurants and attractions through our membership in the Chalet Village Owners Club. We'll tell you more about that in our next post.

A 'leap-month' deal - $29 off February available nights

It's 'leap month!' As you know, February has 29 days this year. And we've got the best way to celebrate. We're cutting our prices at Smoky Mountain Tower and All Decked Out by $29.00 for all available nights. That's a discount of almost 20%. So if you book right away, you will only pay $120.00 per night.

But this deal is only valid for February nights. So you've got to be quick! There are no coupon codes to enter - we've just changed the price in our reservation system.

It's easy to make your reservation. Just go to either of our Web sites at www.SmokiesRentDirect.com/availability or www.SmokyMountainTower.com/availability. If the dates on the calendar are green, they're open for your visit. Click on your arrival and departure dates, which enters them in the date fields below the calendar. Then click "Review & Book," enter the required information, and you're all set.

You can always get answers to questions at dave@smokiesrentdirect.com. But hurry - we expect these dates to fill up fast, especially at this price. The good news is that you have one extra night to stay this month - February 29!

PS - If you've followed us for awhile, you know that we don't have very many special deals like this. We usually only offer 'last-minute' specials. And we're announcing it first on our blog and Facebook. But the rest of the world will see this deal by tomorrow.
