The Great Smoky Mountains, with their greenery and gorgeous landscapes, make for the perfect getaway destination. To make your stay even more memorable, you can find yourself secluded in a cabin rental from American Patriot Getaways. Located in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, TN, they can provide you with a cabin to meet all your needs.

To prepare for your next getaway, here are six essential items you should pack:

1. The Bare Necessities

You should start preparing for your cabin getaway by packing your necessities, just like you would for any other vacation. This includes your toiletries, clothes, a cell phone, chargers, and any other item that you find yourself using on a daily basis.

2. Camera

No matter which option you choose, you’re guaranteed to get a cabin with a view of the breathtaking Smoky Mountains. Your camera will allow you to capture the scenery around you, ensuring that you’ll never forget your stay, or your view.

3. Kitchen Items

Even though the cabins’ kitchens come stocked with basic appliances, you’ll need to bring any special items you may need during your vacation. If you plan on cooking or baking during your stay, make sure you have everything you’ll need when you arrive. It’s also a good idea to bring items, such as napkins, paper towels, and food bags and wraps.

4. Food

The most important item on everyone’s list is food. You can take care of all of your grocery needs while you’re here. If you plan on cooking meals in your cabin and having snacks throughout the day, stop at a grocery store on your way in to stock up on these goods.

5. Bug Repellents

Your secluded cabin is going to bring in some unwanted guests. If you plan on being outdoors and enjoying nature, it’s a good idea to bring some bug spray with you. If you’re just going relax by your rental during your vacation, try bringing a citronella candle.

6. Games & DVDs

If your family is joining you on your vacation, don’t forget to bring movies and games. Bringing board games, playing cards, and an assortment of movies will give your family perfect bonding opportunities.
