Baskins Creek Cabin Rentals
Smoky Mountain Vacation Rentals
October Bloom
Oct 24th
The colors are here! Baskins Creek is proud to be operating primarily in the downtown section of Gatlinburg where you can see it canvasing the sky and the range around you. And it’s still relatively warm out most of the days so a walking trip down from many of our exquisite accommodations should be in order for a good day out!
We are, as always, just across the street from the center of downtown Gatlinburg where the Ripley’s Aquarium is, and would be perfect for this time of year for a visit (its perfect for any time of year but it still rings true). If you brought some kids, you’ll all be happy to know how many other safe and fun activities you can get to in minutes on foot like the Ripley’s Mirror Maze, The Guinness World of Records Museum, The Mountain Mall, the Village for that flavor of class that’s taken straight from English villages that you just don’t see much of around here.
And with the main Gatlinburg trolley terminal at Ripley’s Aquarium, the sky is the limit for what you can do for your Smoky Mountain Vacation! Take a trip to the Arts and Crafts Community or the Sugarlands Visitor center to really saturate yourself in Autumn Spirit, do whatever you want! Gatlinburg is a great city with lots of opportunities and Baskins Creek gives you easy access to all of it!
And if you want to see the specials we’re running now, take a good look at http://www.baskinscreek.com/specials.php for how you can get all that and still have plenty of money on hand for your Smoky Mountain Vacation.
The colors won’t be here for too long, so make your reservations with Baskins Creek and take advantage of our specials today!
Pigeon Forge Attractions – WonderWorks
Feb 5th
One of Pigeon Forge’s most inventive attractions, Wonderworks is an exercise of body, mind and your ability to accept things you can’t begin to believe. Expect to spend several hours, if not a full day, wandering through the endless halls of imagination where you can experience an Earthquake, Hurricane, the arctic waters of the Titanic, magnetics gone crazy and three dimensional sound.
And when you’re done with that, you can build your own rollercoaster track, try it out, ride a bicycle in a head-over-heels geosynchrous orbit, get involved in a series of virtual games and be seated and strapped in for a real life psychic duel against a partner.
If all these things weren’t powered by the forces of nature and science here on Earth, you’d think they were out of this world. Well, they still are and thats all the reason you need to go check out Wonderworks! Baskins Creek Vacation Rentals has great family cabins all around Pigeon Forge with easy convenient travel to all the amusement and fun that the Pigeon Forge Parkway offers. Come stay with Baskins Creek and enjoy every minute of your vacation!

Weather Advisory for January 7 – 10
Jan 6th
Gatlinburg will be in for a surprise treat this upcoming weekend. It rarely snows in the winter until late January or February (sometimes March), but multiple sources, including The Weather Channel, are all calling for snow in the mountains – up top and down in the valley.
Few things are as cherished here in the Smokies as an early snowfall and Baskins Creek would like you to enjoy this winter treat responsibly. Snow and ice can be genuine hazards in the hills if the proper precautions are not met and no one should have to worry about that when there is winter fun to be had.
Our recommendations are as follows:
- Check your tire quality and make sure they have good enough traction. Consider putting chains on the wheels as they will be the most helpful in driving on potentially frozen snow.
- Double check your rental location and directions. If you’ve never been to Gatlinburg, some of our back roads can be twisting and difficult in the snow, and the less you drive on unfamiliar frozen roads, the better.
- Keep an emergency kit in the car should something happen.
- Keep an eye on The Weather Channel whenever available (www.weather.com) and an ear on 105.5 FM – Sevier County’s local radio station. Make your plans accordingly.
Nothing adds magic to the mountains like snow and we’re more than happy to help facilitate that treat into a wonderous vacation experience for you. Please be responsible and enjoy your time at Baskin’s Creek in the Smoky Mountains!

Cabins and Hotel Suites near Gatlinburg’s New Year’s Eve Ball Drop and Fireworks.
Dec 21st
Baskins Creek offers easy passage to downtown Gatlinburg with nothing more than location. A trip into Downtown Gatlinburg is only a few minutes by foot, putting you across the street from Mountain Mall and Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies. The city is pretty much your playground from there, and you don’t even have to drive to get back!
There’s a lot to do in town for the holidays, but there are five sure fire ways to fully enjoy the winterization of Gatlinburg for the holidays.
1. Stay inside by the fireplace!
Cozy and comfy in your Baskins Creek Vacation Rental is a great place to be for Christmas. Cook your favorite dinner, light the fire, make some cocoa and stay inside! How about some hot tub time for that favorite Santa of yours!
2. The Trolley Tour of Lights!
See Gatlinburg Winter Magic in action with a purchase towards the Trolley Tour of Lights. You got to see some of them on your way in, as you were busy fighting traffic and making sure you were watching for the right road to turn off to, now get to see them undistracted, in a properly heated city transport, and take all the pictures you want. The trolley centers at the Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies which is, guess what, right across the street from Baskins Creek! Just a few minutes walk is all it takes.
3. Ober Gatlinburg!
It goes without saying that Ober Gatlinburg is the place to go to in the winter. Not only is it a mountain top family fun center year round, it becomes the winter sports center of the county with events with skiing, snowboarding, ice skating and much more! People gather from miles around to have Alps style fun at Ober and if you’re looking for some real excitement that no one else offers, take a ride up to Ober Gatlinburg!
4. The Reason for the Season
Christus Gardens, now reopened as Christ in the Smokies, shows us the heart of the holidays. Without the birth of Christ, the holiday just doesn’t mean as much. Christ in the Smokies is a museum showcasing the life and dignity of Christ Jesus and has been a Number One showcase and attraction for Gatlinburg for decades. Its only a 10 minute walk from Baskins Creek and will prove to be a significant highlight to your trip!
5. The Village
No trip to Gatlinburg is complete without a trip to the Village. Easily Gatlinburg’s most atmospheric and unique shopping spot in the downtown area. Grab a donut from the legendary Donut Friar. Have a bite at the Cheese Cupboard. Take in some gorgeous artwork. Try on some fancy dresses. Have some breakfast at the Pancake Pantry! Its all there and its one of the first places you get to right outside of Baskin’s Creek!
Of course, there’s a lot more to do in Gatlinburg if you feel so inclined – and with Baskin’s Creek, you’ll be at the center of all of it and within easy walking distance to many of the shopping and attractions. Make your reservations with Baskin’s Creek today – convenience for the season doesn’t stay untouched for long!
