5 Ways to Enjoy Gatlinburg on a Budget
By Bob Foster of American Patriot Getaways
Situated right next to the Great Smoky Mountains and Dollywood, fun in Gatlinburg is easy to find—but the real trick is to do it on a budget. By keeping just a few tips in mind as you plan your vacation, you’ll be able to have a great trip while knowing that you are getting the best deal on all of your expenses. By making a list of all the activities you and your family want to do while on your vacation, you will be creating a list of your planned expenditures. Should your family want to ski or whitewater raft, for example, you will know exactly what your major costs will be before you decide how to spend the rest of your trip. Be sure to check that your chosen activities are available during the month you want to visit. Much of what Gatlinburg has to offer is open all year-round, although the main seasons for the town’s attractions feature the most extended schedules. The off-season’s quiet may force some attractions to close earlier than at other times, but it can also feature reduced rates on accommodations and activities. By reconciling the list of activities with the list of potential times for your trip, you will see opportunities to maximize your dollar. What does your family need from their accommodations? Is the number of bathrooms in your cabin critical to your teenage daughter? Will sharing a small space be a source of conflict for your children? These things are different for all travellers, depending on who you are traveling with and what season you intend to take your trip. We all know what our friends and family need to have a good time, so be sure to double check that the acommodations you are considering have what you are looking for. This way, everyone will be happy. Now that you have everything you are looking for listed, search for Gatlinburg cabins and don't forget to look out for deals. Also check out patriotgetaways.com for some great discounts on local attraction tickets. Check out Expedia for deals on airline tickets to nearby Knoxville, Tennessee or save and take I-40 Interstate right into town, although this highway can get fairly crowded during the peak tourist season. Remember, it never hurts to ask about a discount even if you can’t find one listed online. This is especially valid if your travel times and plans are flexible. While the off-season is less popular, there are plenty of things to do year-round. Any trip to Gatlinburg can be a great opportunity for you and your loved ones to spend quality time together—and saving a few extra dollars will only make your vacation better.

Born and raised in the Smoky Mountain region, Bob Foster became a passionate expert on this part of the country even as a child. Years later Bob turned that childhood passion and expertise into a profession when Bob became a general manager for the family business that specializes in rentals of Gatlinburg cabins and Pigeon Forge cabins, both towns being in the heart of the Smokies. The company motto is "Creating guests for life by offering an experience of a lifetime" and it is with that thought in mind that Bob started a blog fully dedicated to information about the Smokies, which can be found at blog.patriotgetaways.com.
