I don’t think this description will do it justice but I will try.  Two feet to my left is a wall of windows and about 20 feet down is a mountain stream that is running underneath the office. The sun is actually cascading over the mountain and lighting just the creek.  If you have ever stood on a bridge and enjoyed the water running beneath you then you have an idea of what I am seeing and hearing.

Think about the days when you open all the windows in your house to let it breathe.  Feels pretty good doesn’t it. Weather is 70 degrees,slight breeze and plenty of sunshine. Well fortunately for me that will be how I spend the rest of my spring,summer and fall at work. I guess if you have to answer phones,run spreadsheets,answer emails and greet guests – These conditions will just have to do!   

Now get out of the house and live a little! You deserve It! You have earned it!

Have a wonderful day!!!

The weather has been perfect this year for Ober Gatlinburg to maintain excellent levels of snow.  I personally went skiing myself 2 weeks ago and the conditions were great.  They have actually added on a snow tubing area for those of you that are a little lacking in the balance department.

Be sure to visit asap because it looks like we are in for some 60 degree weather by Sunday.  We have quite a few cabins or chalets open for this weekend if you are looking for a quick vacation.

Shortly after the new year Gatlinburg will shift back down into 1st gear. The hustle and bustle of the holidays will slow down and the long drawn out “howdy” will resurface. January will be cool and brisk, the traffic as a whole will be a little less. If we are lucky the ski Lodge will have good enough weather to keep their snow machines blowing through the night.

If you have been a recluse all year long and want to come out of your shell, then January is the month to shed your skin. Most of the shops will close just a little bit earlier, you won’t have to be a college running back to walk down the sidewalks. Don’t worry there will still be plenty of pancakes to inhale at the pancake pantry.

Fall Fantasy

October 9th thru 26th the Gatlinburg craftsmen’s fair will be held at the convention center downtown.  If you want a blast from the past about mountain heritage then here is your chance.  Hand made rocking chairs, brooms, wood carvings and corn cob pipes are just the beginning.  There will be over 200 booths set up for viewing and purchasing. 

This event will draw artisans from other states as well.  There will be live bluegrass and country music.  Once your done there be sure to hop a hayride through downtown Gatlinburg.  The fall foliage looks to be some of the finest we have seen in years.  There is never a better time of the year to take a good hike.  The weather is perfect and the views are amazing.

Traffic will be a little hectic so be sure to check out our area map section on the website.  There is a local traffic link to the left of the blog for updates.  Please check the home web page for any specials on remaining cabins.
