Romance by Season in the Smokies

Winter: Cozy, Quiet, and Completely Romantic

Winter in Bryson City feels made for couples. The mountains become calm and quiet, the air turns crisp, and the long range views open beautifully. It is the season of crackling fireplaces, warm blankets, and serene Smoky Mountain days.

Romantic things to do in winter:

• Scenic winter hikes and waterfall walks. With the trees bare, views stretch farther than any other season. Deep Creek's triple waterfalls are an especially beautiful walk for two.
  
  

• Cozy time by the fire. Winter is the perfect season to light a fire, open a bottle of wine, and settle into your cabin.
  
  

• A winter ride on the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad. Their seasonal excursions are charming and atmospheric.
  
  

• Star filled nights from your private hot tub. Winter skies are crisp and clear.
  
  

• A romantic dinner in town. More on that below.
  
  

If your idea of romance includes fireplaces, peaceful mornings, and soft mountain quiet, winter is your season.
