He surprised me the other day. I can't stop going to the website to look at the pictures. We will be taking his mom w/ us. She will really enjoy it. We've gone on vacation with my mom, but never his.

We go the last week of July. Planning on visiting Dollywood too.

You'll love Pigeon Forge and Dollywood. We have season passes to Dollywood and Dolly's Splash Country which is a HUGE water park perfect for a family with kids of any age right next door to Dollywood. We only live a couple of hours away. Dollywood and Splash Country have what they call a Splash and Play pass which is good for three days of entry into both parks during seven consecutive days. Might be something you want to look into.

There is SO much to do in the Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge area. I would e-mail for a guide so you can see what they have to offer. I know one thing we want to do this year is go tubing down the Little Pigeon River. You float on innertubes down the river for something like a two-hour trip. At the end, or half way down, or something, you get to eat a picnic lunch that they supply. At the end, you load up into a waiting van, and they drive you back to your vehicle. If you decide to do it again, you can go for free! It looks like so much fun!

The cabins look beautiful. We stayed in one in Gatlinburg before and loved it. I'm sure you guys are going to have a terrific time!

If you have any questions about the area, just let me know. We take at least a couple weekend trips a year to Pigeon Forge because we live so close and love it so much!

Thanks! I can't quit going to that sight and looking at it LOL. Luvn, if I get the time, I would love to find out more about the area. We are pretty much planning on just enjoying the cabin. we will only be there for 4 nights. Don't want to waste that lovely view driving around and waiting in lines.

Wow!! That cabin is gorgeous and the background through the windows doesn't even look real! Have a wonderful, relaxing time.

By Enchens on Tuesday, June 27, 2006 - 01:17 am:

Oh, my goodness! Looking at the pictures just took my breath away. Even DH stopped his computer stuff to ask, "Hey! Where's that?" Wow! Have a great time.

By Dawnk777 on Tuesday, June 27, 2006 - 01:37 pm:

Wow, what a view! That cabin is bigger than my house! LOL!

By Cocoabutter on Tuesday, June 27, 2006 - 01:57 pm:

I wonder what it would cost if it were for sale! It looks something like a Parade Home we went through a couple of years ago. And the rates for a palace like that are even fairly reasonable!

Have fun!

By Babysitbarb on Tuesday, June 27, 2006 - 02:53 pm:

Wow, I would love to have a house that looks like those cabins. I would want to even leave the cabin. LOL!!!

We went to Dollywood about 10 years ago and absolutley loved it.
