Top 5 Tips for a Stress-Free Pigeon Forge Cabin Vacation

You’re heading to beautiful, lively Pigeon Forge! Make the most of your private, convenient vacation cabin. Take these steps to ensure a smooth, stress-free stay. 

1. Research the area before you look at cabins.

Pull up maps online, read about attractions, and decide what your family most wants to do here. All that information helps you narrow down the best location for your dream cabin, so you can be close to the attractions you prefer. Less time driving around means less stress and more enjoyment.

2. Work with a reputable vacation rental company.

Choose a rental company with a large selection of cabins and a reputation for great service. At Colonial Properties Cabin and Resort Rentals, we have top-notch housekeepers, our own dedicated maintenance staff, and professional rental managers who are always ready to help. Stress takes a holiday when you know your rental company has your back.

3. Rent the right size cabin.

Think like Goldilocks! If a cabin is too small, you’ll feel cramped. If a cabin is too large, you might be spending too much. Find the cabin that’s just right. 

You’ll see a number of bedrooms listed, but often, cabins have more sleeping spaces in lofts, bunk rooms, and other spots not designated as bedrooms. Instead of needing, say, a four-bedroom cabin for eight guests, you might only need a two-bedroom cabin. Browse listings like a pro and you’ll save money.

4. Ask questions.

Check rental descriptions and contracts with care. Don’t worry. Most rental agreements are straightforward. But if you have questions, don’t hesitate to ask. Especially if you’ve never stayed in a cabin rental before, you might want details about what’s included. What does the “fully equipped” kitchen include? How do you access the WiFi? What’s the procedure if something in the cabin needs fixing? Asking questions in advance helps you relax once you’re here.

5. Arrive ready to use all your cabin’s amenities.

Plan–-and pack–to take full advantage of everything your cabin offers. If the rental includes access to a pool, don’t forget your bathing suits. If you’ve splurged on an in-cabin movie theater, bring your favorite DVDs and your passwords for streaming services. Pack lightly if your cabin includes a washer and dryer since you can wash clothes whenever you like.
