Here are the top 4 ways to cool off this summer when you stay at our Smoky Mountain cabin rentals:
1. Dollywood’s Splash Country
Be sure to pack your bathing suit for your summer vacation to the Smokies! One of the best ways to cool off is with a day at Dollywood’s Splash Country. This awesome water park offers the perfect mountain oasis on a hot summer afternoon with exciting water slides, kids play areas, and a massive pool! Whether you want to experience a thrilling water adventure on the Big Bear Plunge, take a leisurely journey along the Downbound Float Trip, or splash around in the Cascades lagoon-style pool, the choice is yours! There are water activities for family members of all ages, so be sure to bring everyone from toddlers to grandparents along for the fun!
2. White Water Rafting
Another great way to cool off this summer while staying at our Smoky Mountain cabin rentals is to go white water rafting with Smoky Mountain Outdoors! This outfitter offers several professional rafting trips on the Pigeon River, including Extreme Upper River Trips and combo packages! All of the white water rafting trips are fully guided, so you can feel perfectly comfortable and safe while having a blast on the river! The Pigeon River Outpost for Smoky Mountain Outdoors is just about 45 minutes north of Gatlinburg, making it the closest white water rafting option for guests who stay with us!
3. Pigeon Forge Snow
While snow tubing during the summer months may sound impossible, it is indeed a reality at Pigeon Forge Snow! This amazing indoor facility offers snow tubing all year long, and it is always between 60 and 70 degrees inside, so you can wear whatever you happen to be wearing for the day! There is an entire hillside of snow tubing hills to experience, as well as a Snow Play area where you can build snowmen and snow forts. Pigeon Forge Snow is the first attraction of its kind in the United States, so be sure to check out this unique activity during your summer vacation in the Smokies!
