Over on our Cinnamon Hollow site is a series we created called “Blogging In The Smokies“. In an effort to keep as much travel related content on this site as possible, we’ve decided to transition that series to the Martin Family Adventure instead.
Below, you will find a few links that are in our series. For now, head on over to Cinnamon Hollow to check them all out! Over the next several months, I’ll be moving all that content to this website. Any links from there, will redirect to here. Until then, when you click a link on this page, a new page will open with the post on Cinnamon Hollow. Please let me know if something isn’t working! You can also keep up with our Blogging In The Smokies series on social media with the hashtag #BloggingInTheSmokies
On this page you will find links to posts and pages about our family’s Gatlinburg area vacations in our guide Smoky Mountain Attractions “Blogging In The Smokies“. We love Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. This is our vacation destination of choice and one that we hope to bring our family to time and time again. It is a place where family traditions can be made and we hope to see our children continue on the mountain vacation tradition that we have begun, with their own families.
Sometimes we may stay in hotels. Usually, we stay in cabins! I plan to share each cabin and cabin rental service as well as Smoky Mountain attractions, restaurants and hotels in and around Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Some were comp visits and stays but many are one that my family and I pay for. Sometimes again and again! Regardless, they are all our honest thoughts on each location and are not influenced in any way. We want you to know about the places we enjoy!
The dates represent the dates of our visits. Items in italics are the city we visited that location in.
So be sure to check this page often for updates!
