Happy New Year from Smoky Mountain Vistas 🎉

We’re welcoming the New Year with a brand-new perspective—from Pinnacle Ridge, our newest 5-bedroom, 5-bath cabin that sleeps up to 13. From this elevated perch, you’ll enjoy stunning views of downtown Gatlinburg, the surrounding Smoky Mountains, and the glowing lights of Anakeesta—a truly unforgettable backdrop to start the year.

Here’s to fresh beginnings, mountain memories, and stays with views that never get old.

Think you're the only one craving midnight snacks? Think again. The local black bears are masterclass dumpster divers—and they’ve got no shame about going full Mission Impossible to get your leftovers. Leave your trash out, and they’ll treat it like an all-you-can-eat buffet.

They’ll sniff it out, show off their break-in skills, and maybe even invite their cousins.

Help us keep ‘em wild (and off your deck):
✔️ Lock trash in bear-proof bins
✔️ No snacks, coolers, or leftovers outside
✔️ When in doubt, stash it or trash it properly

They’re cute… from a distance.
