The Southeast’s Hidden Gems
January 10th, 2012
Set your Home security FAMILY alarm and pack up the kids – it’s time for a road trip to a cabin near you! If you live in the Southeastern US there’s a bounty of great cabin getaways close to home – here are a few of our favorite hidden gems:
Banner Elk, NC: This hamlet has all the charm of a much bigger city and a quaint downtown area, too. Cabins aren’t expensive and there are lots of outdoor activities nearby including some of North Carolina’s best skiing!
Helen, GA: If you haven’t yet been to this tiny German-themed town you’re missing out. Sure, Helen’s a bit kitsch but that’s part of the fun! Eat by the river and buy yourself some alpine village souvenirs. The kids will love the mini golf and you’ll love the affordable housing.
Gatlinburg, TN: Perhaps the most popular spot on the list, Gatlinburg has recently gone through a renovation of sorts. There are dozens of restaurants and activities for the kids to entertain themselves and the views of the Smokies here simply can’t be beaten.
