Housing Advisory—The Feast falls in high season so finding affordable housing can be challenging (and higher rates are a left-over result of the industry post COVID). There is one company listed on the housing tab to consider, but everyone is free to make their own housing choices now.

When making housing reservations through Cabins For You, the $300 membership fee is optional.

It is recommended to pay the damage wavier which is less than $100. As it will cover any damage that could possibly happen while staying in the cabins or rental units.

Come join us as we celebrate the 2024 Feast of Tabernacles in beautiful Gatlinburg, Tennessee. 

Gatlinburg and the surrounding areas comprise one of the most popular vacation locations in the United States. Gatlinburg is the gateway to the beautiful Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the most visited park in the National Park system. The Feast this year should be at the prime time to see beautiful fall colors. This area provides more choices for family activities than there will be time to enjoy them.  

The Gatlinburg area offers a unique range of entertainment, arts, shopping and attractions. You can choose live music or theater, dinner shows or dancing, or walking along the main street in Gatlinburg during the afternoon for fun and activities. Watch artists and artisans at their easels and pottery wheels throughout the vibrant crafts community in the galleries downtown or on the eight-mile-long crafts loop that begins just outside of town. Numerous activities are also available for the whole family in nearby Pigeon Forge and Sevierville. These include family shows, miniature golf, go-kart tracks, shopping and much more.  

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a large part of why the area has become such a popular holiday destination. It offers 800 square miles of spectacular flora, fauna and outdoor activities. There are over 900 miles of hiking trails where you can explore forests and waterfalls while enjoying stunning mountain vistas. The average daily high temperature during October is 69 degrees and the average low is 56 degrees.  

Here is some additional information to help you plan your Feast:
