“So many great memories have been made in the Smokies!
My husband of almost 9 years proposed in Cades Cove. We have two kids who love getting ice cream in the Cove and riding around looking for deer or having a family picnic. We were all able to meet Paula Deen while at the island one afternoon and had great conversation and enjoyed watching her feed our son some biscuits. Great tubing trips down the Little River. Our list of memories can go on and on. We were blessed to have dinner at Dancing Bear one night where we had a great meal with amazing desserts!
The Smokies are our happy place where we can always have a great time and relax.”
