Creating Warm Memories in Your Smoky Mountain Cabin

Winter in a Smoky Mountains cabin is perfect for cuddling with your sweetheart or playing with the kids. Try these ideas and make memories to keep you warm for years to come.

Curl Up by the Fireplace

Nothing says “cozy” like a crackling fire. If there’s frost dusting the trees outside, that only makes the fire feel even warmer! 

Enjoy a Warming Drink

Make luscious hot cocoa, gourmet coffee or soothing tea. A hot toddy made with bourbon is especially fitting to sip in a Tennessee cabin. Why? Bourbon is one of the state’s best-loved products. Visit a Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge distillery for local bourbon offerings.

Play Card Games

Break out the cards for familiar favorites like Hearts or Go Fish. For new games, just look online for card game rules and dive in. Not into kids’ games? Stay up late playing poker with your friends or play solitaire for some “me time.” 

Break Out the Board Games

Did you know that board games have gained huge popularity recently? Folks are rekindling their love of screen-free fun. Family games, roleplaying games, trivia, mystery games–there’s a game for every interest. Gather around the table for old-fashioned fun with newfangled games. 

Bake a Special Treat

Your cabin’s fully equipped kitchen makes it simple to create home-baked goodies in a snap. A ginger snap, perhaps, or chocolate chip cookies. If you’re more into savory than sweet, make pizza with this simple pizza dough recipe. Let the kids help and enjoy the goodies they made!

Watch Your Comfort Shows

Watch the shows and movies you all love. You know, the ones where you can recite the lines from memory! Make new memories by sampling shows you’ve been wanting to try. You don’t have to work tomorrow, so why not indulge in a binge-watch? If your cabin has its own movie theater, curate a film festival! 

Hang Out In the Game Room

Spend hours playing pool, foosball, air hockey, arcade-style video games and more in a cabin game room. Look for a game room when you book your cabin rental.

Soak In the Hot Tub

Outdoor hot tubs are year-round amenities. Turn on the bubbling water, even when it’s “cocoa weather” outside. Relish the luxury of hot tubbing with a view of the stars.
