GATLINBURG: Pet Friendly Cabins

Pets are often like children in your family.  You usually take your children on vacation with you so why not your pets?

A significant number of the 9 million + visitors to the Great Smoky Mountains each year bring along their 4 legged family members too.

This blog is sponsored in part by ERA In The Smokies Realty & Rentals, and they love pets, too.  Because ERA has pet-friendly accommodations that sleep 2 to 10 people, ERA In The Smokies is now the proud sponsor of a second blog and website dedicated solely to the traveling pet lover in us all.  Now you don’t have to leave them at home.  Visit www.GatlinburgPetFriendlyCabins.com and take a look around.  From pet activities to cabin coupons, GatlinburgPetFriendlyCabins.com will help you turn your family vacation into a pet-friendly family vacation.

Here’s a great excerpt from the Pet Fun page on the new Gatlinburg Pet Friendly Cabins.com:

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park has over 800 miles of hiking trails and is the country’s most popular National Park. Dogs are welcome in the camp grounds, picnic areas & along roads, but your pet must be on a leash at all times. Pets should be well-behaved, and you must clean up after them.

Dogs are not allowed on most of the park’s extensive trails but are welcome on the Gatlinburg Trail.  The Gatlinburg Trail travels 1.9 miles one-way from the Sugarlands Visitor Center to the outskirts of the city of Gatlinburg, TN. It is relatively flat and runs through the forest along side the West Prong of the Little Pigeon River. The trail offers beautiful views of the river, which is crossed by a pedestrian foot bridge. Foundations and chimneys of several old home sites are visible along the trail. The Oconaluftee River Trail is the second walking path on which visitors can walk dogs and bicycle.
