No Smoking Cabins available in Great Smoky Mountains

The Great Smokies are a bargain this summer, says Money Magazine. In a feature on last minute deals, it recommends the gorgeous area of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park on the Tennessee/North Carolina border, with an assist from Christine Karpinski, author of How to Rent Vacation Properties by Owner. You can rent a wonderful cabin in these woods for as little as $80 a night (for a two-bedroom 1 bath cabin with fireplace and satellite TV) from companies such as Bearly Rustic. I love the fact that this bear-friendly property management firm specifies that some of its rentals are "no smoking."
