Planning your Smoky Mountains honeymoon

Congratulations. The cabin sleeps 12, but it works just as well for two, and a fair number of our guests are couples right after a wedding.

Why the Smokies

Easy to get to, but feels remote

A day's drive from most of the eastern U.S. The cabin sits up the ridge, so once you're there, you don't have to leave.

Cheaper than a resort

You get a private 4-bedroom cabin with a heated indoor pool and hot tub for less than two nights at a comparable resort. Booking direct saves another 10-20%.

A 5-day plan

Day 1: Arrive

Check in, unpack, hot tub at sunset, cook dinner.

Day 2: Adventure

Laurel Falls in the morning, lunch in Gatlinburg, the SkyBridge in the afternoon, dinner at The Peddler.

Day 3: Slow day

Sleep in. In-cabin couples massage if you booked one. Wine tasting in the afternoon. Cook dinner in the kitchen.

Day 4: Cades Cove

Drive the loop early for wildlife, picnic lunch, distillery on the way home, fireplace at night.

Day 5: Out

Morning hot tub, brunch in Gatlinburg, head home.

Add-ons we can arrange

• Champagne welcome and rose petal turndown
• Private chef for one dinner
• In-cabin couples spa
• Photographer for an outdoor session

What to spend on, what to skip

Worth it

The cabin, one nice dinner out, one couples experience.

Skip

Eating out every meal. The kitchen is full, and groceries in Sevierville are cheap. Booking through a third-party site, you'll pay 10-20% more.

Best months

• June: Warm, long days, wildflowers
• September-October: Fall color, lower humidity
• December-February: Quiet, lowest rates, fireplace season
