6 Reasons to Take a Week-Long Getaway to Pigeon Forge TN

Posted: Jan 16 , 2017

Although any amount of time spent in the Smoky Mountains is wonderful, an entire week is the magical number for an absolutely amazing vacation in East Tennessee! Here are 6 reasons to take a week-long getaway at one of the beautiful cabins in Pigeon Forge TN:

1. Enough Time to Truly Feel Like You’re on Vacation

When arriving at your vacation destination, it often takes a couple of days to settle into your environment and truly feel that you are on a break from your everyday life. A week-long getaway provides you with enough time to fully loosen up and relax. Besides, there is so much to see and do in the Smoky Mountain area that it really does take more than a week to fully appreciate all of the great Pigeon Forge attractions.

2. Travel Time Doesn’t Eat Up Your Getaway

Since the Great Smoky Mountains are one of the most popular destinations in the Southeast, tourists come from all over the country to stay in Pigeon Forge. This means that many visitors are taking at least a couple of hours to drive from their home. Unfortunately, this travel time consumes a significant portion of your overall vacation. When you take a week-long trip, however, you’ll have more time to appreciate your time in Tennessee!

3. A Longer Trip Motivates Budget Planning

Although getting away for a couple of days may require some budgeting, many folks tend to simply go with the flow and spend their money freely. However, taking a week-long vacation provides extra motivation to budget your funds each day for dining out, activities, etc. We’ve put together our favorite free things to do in Pigeon Forge so you can have fun without spending a lot of money.

4. More Flexibility for Your Vacation Plans

A week-long getaway at a cabin in Pigeon Forge provides you with plenty of flexibility for your vacation plans. When you spend over a week in the Smokies, you can easily make alternate arrangements for days of inclement weather and reschedule your plans for another day of your trip. In addition, you can schedule visits to Dollywood and other popular Pigeon Forge attractions on those days where crowd levels may be lower. With your extra time, you can even book multiple day tickets to Dollywood to enjoy significant cost savings.

5. Reduced “Vacation Hangover” when Returning Home

After just a couple days in Pigeon Forge, some visitors experience the dreaded “vacation hangover” when returning home. This is that post-vacation depression that sets in when you realize just how quickly your vacation flew past. However, after getting away for an entire week, you might actually be ready to spend some time back at home. After all, you have had more time to enjoy Pigeon Forge!

6. A Longer Getaway Truly Recharges Your Batteries

You have plenty of time to recharge your batteries and relieve any stress or tension from work or home when you spend time in Pigeon Forge. When you return back to the routine of everyday life, you may be surprised how much more cheerful you seem to your family and friends!

    We like 5 days, because of the higher rates for Friday/Saturday. Come down on Sunday and leave Friday.
