Great Smoky Mountains National Park is one of the few national parks that does NOT charge an entrance fee. However, parking tags are now required at some of the more popular trailheads. Check the NPS website for current parking requirements.
Each season offers something special! Spring brings wildflowers and waterfalls at peak flow. Summer is perfect for higher elevation hikes. Fall (mid-October) features stunning foliage. Winter offers peaceful solitude and occasional snow. We recommend booking early for fall foliage season - it's the busiest time.
Dogs are only allowed on two trails in the national park: Gatlinburg Trail and Oconaluftee River Trail. They must be on a 6-foot leash. Please note that our cabins do not allow pets to ensure an allergen-free environment for all guests.
