Valentine’s Day is one of those special occasions that have a way of sneaking up on you! How many times have you found yourself scrambling at the last minute trying to make plans? Or maybe this is the first time you have that special someone in your life that you want to create a Valentine memory with. Instead of making yourself crazy at the last minute, why not show that special someone how much they mean to you by planning a romantic get away to the Smoky Mountains? Create treasured memories by enjoying the snow and chilly temps outside, then cozy up in front of a roaring fire inside! Here are some tips to planning a wonderful, romantic Valentine experience in the Smoky Mountains!

Take a Romantic Stroll Through The Woods 

There’s just something about taking a walk in the great outdoors that says romance! Especially when you’re taking a walk through the woods or taking in breathtaking mountains views found in the Smoky Mountains! With over 100 hiking trails, you and your loved one will never run out of options!

Enjoy An Intimate Dinner 

A romantic Valentines Day getaway is never complete without that dreamy dinner experience!

Many restaurants feature special entertainment as well to further complete the romantic ambience!

Cozy-up Inside

After a busy day enjoying the beautiful outdoors come inside to enjoy your cozy cabin or room. You can cuddle up in front of the fireplace with a glass of wine. Or maybe light some candles and enjoy a bubbly hot tub. Also, never miss a breathtaking view of the sun as it hides behind the mountains.

Share Breathtaking Views from a Sky Lift

If you want the ultimate excuse to get really close with your partner, then the Gatlinburg Sky Lift is waiting for you! The lift goes high as 1,800 feet in the air; and that means you need to hold to each other (and handrails) really tight. Aside from that, the lift offers you a panoramic view of the downtown Gatlinburg and the surrounding mountains.
