Sunset Festival 2015

The big thing to look for out of Deer Ridge in Autumn is, of course, our Sunset Festivals that we hold each October. Each Saturday night throughout the month, we have little parties out on our big sundeck to celebrate the season and give our guests an opportunity to soak in the Smoky Mountain ambiance, get a good, LONG look at the Autumn colors with the BEST views of the Smokies, and enjoy free food and bluegrass courtesy.

Cost? None to our registered guests, and that includes guests with our cabin rentals too!

Reserve today so you can get a luxury condo in time for the Autumn bloom! www.deerridge.com.

Tax Free Weekend 2015

If you weren't already familiar, the Tax Free Weekend in Tennessee is a surprisingly big occasion. From August 7th to the 9th, it's when we take all taxes off of school, art and clothing supplies that you can find throughout our area - any appropriate item less than $100 each and any computers that cost $1,500 - and would you believe we sometimes get see as many visitors as if it were Labor Day Weekend?

Well, we do, and the logic is that this is an excellent opportunity to save on school supplies that would be needed anyway, why not get one last weekend getaway in the Smokies with the kids before school starts while we can?

And a good question that is - why not? Why not take advantage of this and our discounts and specials at Deer Ridge to end the Summer season with a blast? We have luxury amenities for all tastes, swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, tennis court and many other items perfect for a late Summer family vacation.

Fourth of July in Gatlinburg

The 4th of July is coming up very soon and we wanted to keep you up to date on the events going on here in the Smokies.

In Gatlinburg, the events start as soon as the 3rd of July ends with the 4th of July Midnight Parade on the main downtown street where you and your whole family can see some of the best, brightest and most patriotic floats in the country for over an hour of fun.

Then, the morning after, The River Raft Regatta starts at 10:00AM and is another fun activity for the whole family, particularly younger kids, as you can watch all manners of small objects race down the river to cross the finish line first at Ripley's Aquarium. You can see more information on that at http://www.gatlinburg.com/events/details.aspx?id=33.

Finally, the big show begins at 10:00PM with the Independence Day fireworks you've all been looking forward to, and you don't have to go anywhere but the main sidewalk in downtown Gatlinburg to see the fireworks overhead. Gatlinburg has been celebrating the 4th of July this way for years and it just gets better each time it comes around.

We hope to see you this Independence Day and we'd like you to see our specials and packages at www.deerridge.com to save on your Smoky Mountain vacation while adding even more to it. Hope to see you soon!
