Everyone needs a little romance in their life. However, you don’t want just any romantic getaway. Perhaps a trip to the Smoky Mountains is just what you are looking for. In the fall of the year, it can be one of the most romantic places to visit you can imagine.
The Smoky Mountains have beautiful fall colors in the trees, and they will be hitting their peek over the next few weeks. There are lots of romantic little vacation rental cabins to be found nestled in the middle of these very old mountains. It can be a place to take hikes in nature, share a lovely bottle of wine on a sunny afternoon, or enjoy an evening of being together around a cozy fire in the fireplace.
To add a little more spice to the trip, you might want to avail yourself of a couple’s message, from one of the quality message therapists in the area. The Smoky Mountain area has many such services. You will also want to check out one of the many top rated restaurants in the Gatlinburg area. If a “mom and pop” is more your speed, take a trip over to Pigeon Forge.
In Gatlinburg, you will also want to take a trip on the scenic chair lift located there. Don’t miss the view from atop Mt. Harrison either. And for your lady, you will want to spend an afternoon casually strolling through the picturesque shops located in town. In many respects, it is like visiting Manitou Springs in Colorado, or Eureka Springs in Arkansas.
Fine dining in Gatlinburg should also be accompanied by one of the many live theatre shows that are located in the area. There are many opportunities for quality dining, which will include an entrée, dinner, wine, and dessert for under $100 for a couple. Live theatre and dinner specials can also be found, so make sure you do a good Google search for specials prior to heading to the Smoky’s.
The city of Gatlinburg is brimming with activity both day and night. This tiny town has a lot to offer, whether your taste runs to the quiet side or you prefer a more fun loving getaway. Enjoy the view from the top of the 400 foot space needle, or take a leisurely drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway. When evening falls, an intimate dinner for two awaits you at one of Gatlinburg’s many fine restaurants. Stay in town for a night of live theater or head back to your chalet for a soak in your private hot tub, or simply to gaze at the stars that light the sky like tiny diamonds.
The Great Smoky Mountain National Park is also located in the area, and is full of stunning beauty, and scenic walkways. The park is also home to Cades Cove, which is one of the most beautiful mountain valleys to be found anywhere in the world. It is a must see while in the area.
