Enjoy Your Meals With A View
If you know your way around a recipe or two, consider cooking a few meals in the fully equipped kitchen at your Gatlinburg cabin. This will save even more by not driving and using up gas, paying to park anywhere, or tipping. The best part is that you can dine on your deck if you choose to with the Smokies just an arm’s length away.
