Lauren + Kris’s guidebook for Mountain Lust
Sightseeing
Very cool and very popular place. It has an 11 mile loop that can be viewed from your car which is great for families. Be aware: it's a popular place and can have some heavy traffic at times. Plan to spend some time here as it can take awhile!

Beautiful hike! It does have a very steep incline all the way up to the top (with lots of places to stop and rest if need be), but the views are worth it. There is also a bathroom and gift shop. Parking can be difficult as it gets crowded! We recommend going either early or later. It is a winding road on the way up there.

Keep in mind: masks are required at this time in the park (outside as well). Also, during the summer months, it can get very hot!

Food scene
Very pleasant place! If you plan to eat there, we recommend calling ahead for reservations. Variety of very good ciders. This is a little over 13 miles from the cabin.

This is a must visit at some point during your trip! Really good burgers! We've traveled a lot and had some amazing burgers and this is right up there with the best. The best part - everything is locally sourced and homemade. Good service and good selection of beers.

Another must for the area! It's worth the venture. Good quantity and quality of home cooking Southern food, especially for the price! Everyone leaves satisfied, but still ready to come back for more. Our favorites: the corn chowder, the maple butter, and the chicken and dumplings!

If you make it out to Gatlinburg, this is a must stop. They serve a variety of food to satisfy everyone! From pizza to sandwiches, steaks and even chicken you really can't go wrong! Great for lunch (especially during the week when it's not crowded). It can be quite noisy and food may take a while (during dinnertime). They serve high-quality ingredients and it really shows!

We can't say this is the best southern cooking in the area, but we can still recommend it as an experience. It's a popular choice for many vacationers. Good for lunch or dinner. We like their chicken and biscuits.

A little bit of a trek, but if you're craving some of the best Southern BBQ, this little 'hole in the wall' in Gatlinburg is a great choice! And the service is great. We love the smoky Mac and cheese and the pulled pork.
