Talk about a delicious breakfast - yum! Just a drive down the mountain, Elvira’s reminds us of a more gourmet version of Cracker Barrel, with wholesome farm-fresh ingredients. Their specialty is breakfast and brunch, but they also have a hearty lunch menu. Bring your appetite for those farm-fresh eggs! Please note they only serve dinner on Fridays and Saturdays

This is a favorite! Upscale american cuisine in a casual atmosphere. A must-visit from or to the Knoxville airport as it is en route to/from the cabin.

City/town information

Busy hustle and bustle tourist town with an olde town curb appeal. Surrounded by mountains, this is a good place to explore and have a night on the town. But, be prepared for people and traffic. You can ride a gondola to the top of the mountain or ski in the winter at Uber Gaitlinburg. Festivities occur here year-round. If you come during Christmas you will see a lot of decorations and lights. Summer you may share the streets with people and bears alike!

Sightseeing

Aside from the cabin's back deck, this is THE best part of the area, the National Park. The cabin is about a 5 mile drive from the Wear Cove Gap Road/Metacalf Bottoms entrance to the park. Pick out your hikes or take a drive in the park and then return for a nice soak in the hot tub.
