It is SO beautiful here!

We just love living in Gatlinburg!

April has been a variable month, with snowfall on April 3 and 90 degrees on April 26! With that said, its a beautiful month to be here. Everything is blooming, the birds are nesting, and the bears are roaming! This Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage just ended, and Ribfest and Wings was a smash hit on April 23.

Quattro de Mayo, the Audi and VW auto show is going on now. See http://www.cherokeeaudiclub.com/ for more information.

On May 15-17 will be the Gatlinburg Scottish Festival and Games at Mills Park. More info at http://www.gsfg.org/

Get all the details about the Gatlinburg Fine Arts Festival at http://www.gfaf.net. This event is held at Ripley's Aquarium Plaza and admission is FREE

Of course the end of the month brings Memorial Day and the official start of the summer season! For the BEST deals and to avoid the crowds Summer brings, come visit us soon!

In the Summer of 2007, our family spent 4 days in the Smokey Bear cabin at HanrahansHIPHideways and it was great. Flatlanders from Wisconsin, the Smokey Mountains were breathtaking and beautiful. We were able to shop in the quaint downtown area of Gatlinburg, saw live music on the streets and dined in some awesome restaurants. We also enjoyed hiking on the local trails. The lodge we stayed at was cozy and had a jacuzzi that we were able to relax in after we grilled out on the patio. We are looking forward to coming back! The Mayor Family

Dear Jeanine, We're flatlanders too, as you know! The natural beauty of this area feeds your soul and reminds you of the awesomeness of God's creation! Thanks for taking the time to write, we appreciate you 8)
