While it may be unsurprising to East Tennesseans, USA Today has named Gatlinburg the best place in the country to visit this fall.

Beautiful in the fall - and year round, in my opinion!

The city is up for a USA Today’s Readers’ Choice Award for “Best Place to Visit for Fall.”

Sunsets in the Smokies don't disappoint! Caught this one a little early. Watch the sun go down from the hot tub!

Our top deck is a relaxing oasis with a double rocker off the sliding glass door of each bedroom and a hammock in the middle. Watch the sunset or take a nap!

The hike to Rainbow Falls is one of our favorites! It's a 5.4 mile round trip. The 80 ft waterfall is absolutely spectacular and is the tallest single-drop waterfall in the Smoky Mountain National Park. It's a great place for a picnic! The trail is rocky and uneven in many places so make sure you wear good hiking shoes. Bears are sometimes active in this area and we did once see a mama bear with cubs on this hike. If you see bears, it's important to give them their space.

The Gatlinburg SkyBridge is the longest pedestrian cable bridge in North America and features a glass bottom at the highest point, which can be a bit unnerving! The views are absolutely stunning!

If you hike to Grotto Falls, you might get to see the LeConte Lodge Llamas making their trek! The llamas make the trip up the mountain on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and are usually on the trail by 8 am. Learn more here -> https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/tennessee/grotto-falls-llama-hike-tn/

Most people consider Clingmans Dome a must visit. This is a short but steep paved hike with incredible views for as far as 100 miles on a clear day! https://smokymountains.com/park/hikes/clingmans-dome-hike/ #

It's estimated that there are about 1900 black bears living in the Smoky Mountain National Park. You may very well see one on your visit. It is important if you see a bear that you give it space...do not approach the bear. Do not leave food in your car and make sure all doors are locked. Bears have been known to open car doors! This site has great information on what to do if you come across a bear. The bear in this picture we saw on the side of the road as we were driving to town.

Chesapeakes is wonderful for a special dinner but you will definitely want to make a reservation! Ask for a table overlooking the river.
