For the next 2 weeks the Great Smoky Mountains National Park will play host to one of the worlds most unique events.  Hundreds of thousands of fireflies will light up the night sky all around in sync.  The Gatlinburg Trolley service will be picking up at the Sugarlands Visitor center from 6 to 9. The ride will only cost $1.00.  This is the only form of transportation to elkmont as attendance is expected to be high.

Chalet Village Properties is only 2 miles from the sugarlands visitor center.

With the holiday season rapidly approaching, families will begin talking about what they want to do for Thanksgiving or Christmas.  Chalet Village Properties can accommodate your families needs.  We have around 130 units ranging from 1 bedroom to 12 bedrooms.  Most all of our units are located off of Ski Mtn Road in Chalet Village. 

Our most popular lodge for reunions or corporate retreats is Majestic Overlook.  It is the premier 12 bedroom lodge in the county. There is no shortage of large units all over the county, but you will not find one that compares to this one.  Each bedroom has a breathtaking view of the mountains. Each bedroom also has a private bathroom w/whirlpool tub. This lodge can house 28 people with ease.  A 4×8 movie screen in the downstairs den can be used for powerpoint presentations during corporate retreats.  There is a hot tub, pool table, foosball table and dart board for leisure time fun.  Unobstructed views of Mt. LeConte can be enjoyed from the rocking chairs on the main deck.  Want to cook and serve?  This unit has a 18ft. granite counter top bar that can hold all the food you care to enjoy.

The list of amenities for this house is to long to write.  Don’t just take my word over the Internet – call and ask anyone in our office and they will tell you that Majestic Overlook is, hands down, the best lodge in the county. 

If this unit is to big for your needs, we have plenty of 4,5,6,7 and 8 bedroom units to accomodate you. Don’t trust your family vacation or corporate retreat to anyone except Chalet VIllage Properites. Our staff has over 100 years of combined experience in the vacation industry.  Our office is centrally located on the mountain for the convenience of our guests. We also have a maintenance staff during business hours everyday. . . should a problem arise.

There is no shortage of great organizations that raise money and help people from all walks of life in the world today.  I want to spotlight one that I personally think is on the top tier.  The shriners are dedicated to the health and wellbeing of our most prized possesions – the children.

The shriners help to fund 22 hospitals that provide care for children up to the age of 18.  Doctors there treat conditions such as burns,spinal cord injuries,cleft palates and various other orthapedic conditions.  These hospitals provide this service free of charge to eligible participants. 

There is something to be said about a group of people who are willing to give their time and efforts to a noble cause for free.  That something is “thank you”.  One of the high points about the shriners are their ambassadors who promote the cause.  These are normally middle aged to senior citizens that travel around the country putting on parades,circuses and other excellent shows to entertain and spread the good word.

Couldn’t be to bad of a gig though, who wouldn’t want to put on a clown outfit and right around in a souped up go-cart. The shriners will be in Pigeon Forge on May 2nd and 3rd to put on a parade and funfest. Bring the kids out and show your support. I am sure any donations that you have to offer will be greatly appreciated and you will receive a blessing for it.

Valentines day 2009, what do you think of first? LOVE – That 4 letter word that every human being needs to hear to feel complete. From the beginnings of time men and women will go to any length to extract that word from the opposite sex.  Even in a confirmed recession men and women are opening their wallets to help magnify their love.

Money is no object it seems when you truly love something or someone.  Our cabins are full and the big question is where do they have the best steak?  It is quite funny when people call and say “why is it so busy up here”?  All the while they have left their kids with grandma to come stay 2 nights with their wife or husband.

This just proves how much the media and news coverage has jaded the way the human race feels about each other.  Subconsciously people think because of a war or recession only a fortunate few will be able to treat their sweetie to a romantic night out.  In the minds of most there is a voice saying “we will go to Gatlinburg because it won’t be busy! there is a recession you know.” 

I am going to end this blog with some advice directed towards the nay-sayers of love. Get in your car and drive to Gatlinburg Tennessee tonight Feb. 14 Valentines day.  Once you get set down with a cold beverage and appetizers on the way, I want you to ask yourself 2 questions. Why did I just set in traffic for 3 hours? Why did I stand in line for 1 hour to eat?  Now look across the table at that beautiful woman or handsome man your with and tell them how much you LOVE them!!  What was that you said? Yes thats right 4 hours of torture to hear 1 needed word - LOVE!!!

By the way its 3 p.m. now, you better jump in the car if you want to eat by 8!!!
