Schedule Downtime

With so many amazing things to do in the Smokies, your family is going to want to see it all. However, try not to cram too much into one day. If you have no downtime during your visit your family is going to get tuckered out and cranky.

Instead, try to schedule an hour or two during the day to relax in your condo. Our condos in Gatlinburg are within walking distance of downtown, so it will be easy for you to take a break during the afternoon.
