My husband and I are fortunate enough to own and operate a bed and breakfast near The Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It offers so much hiking variety and beauty it rejuvenates my soul every time I experience it! It’s my favorite place to go to truly get “grounded” and stay focused on what is important. It provides an environment that allows us to get away from the day to day grind and helps me feel more connected to my world, myself and my husband when spending time there. After 8 years, the views still take my breath away! (This view is from Purchase Knob this past October.)
Sincerely,
Great Smoky Mountains National Park
