Our Mindset and Plans for Every Gatlinburg Visit

Everyone who’s ever been here multiple times goes through a list of things they want to accomplish. We are no different. The routines we develop in Gatlinburg aren’t really much different than the ones we establish in our day-to-day lives. What I’m going to discuss isn’t so much an itinerary, but a general idea of what every visit has and will entail for us. This doesn’t mean you won’t benefit from our experience. Take it as something that may frame your vacation as to how YOU want it to be. Then, see how that leads to repetition, making it as relaxing and comfortable a trip you HOPE it will be.

No matter how many times we’ve been to Gatlinburg, we are always planning a day-by-day, meal-by-meal schedule. If it doesn’t work, no big deal; we had fun just discussing it. But seriously, we end up following our so-called agenda at least 80% of the time, so it isn’t a waste. Like I said, we had fun talking about it as a family. Sounds crazy, but any talk where Gatlinburg is the subject brings an aura of positivity and happiness normally unmatched by any other event of our day.
