Spring will be here before you know it! When warmer weather comes to Pigeon Forge, it brings with it breathtaking scenery and a variety of special seasonal events. Here are just six of the things we love about spring vacations at our log cabins for rent in Pigeon Forge:
1. Beautiful Wildflowers
The Pigeon Forge area is home to more than 1,500 types of flowering plants that come alive during the spring months! You’ll see these beautiful wildflowers around your cabin and throughout the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. In March, you’ll find Jack-in-the-pulpits, Trout-lilies, Sharp-lobed Hepatica, and Spring-beauties. April is peak season for wildflowers, with Violets, Wild Ginger, White Trillium, Yellow Mandarin, Wild Geranium and many others making an appearance. May brings Lady’s Slippers, Purple Phacelia, Blue Phlox, and Painted Trillium, to name a few. No matter when you visit during the spring, you’re guaranteed to see some truly stunning plant life in bloom.

3. Outdoor Firepits
Spring evenings provide the perfect weather for sitting around a roaring fire with your family. The temperature is warm enough to be outdoors, but cool enough to make the fire’s warmth extra special. Aunt Bug’s offers a great selection of Pigeon Forge log cabins with firepits, so you can roast marshmallows, sing campfire songs, and tell stories.
4. Dollywood’s Festival of Nations
Every March and April, Dollywood hosts an incredible Festival of Nations! Talented performers from all around the world come to the theme park to showcase their country’s music and dance.
