For penny-pinchers who still want to make the most of a trip to the Smokies, we are sharing four tricks to saving money while vacationing. With these 4 tips, you’ll be ready to visit our Pigeon Forge condos without a worry or a care:

1. Specials on Pigeon Forge Condos

Our first trick to save on Pigeon Forge condos is to check for lodging specials. Visitors who want spectacular mountain views and a convenient location don’t have to pay a fortune to enjoy them. We offer Pigeon Forge condo specials throughout the year for guests who stay with us. These specials allow you to put some extra money back in your pocket to use on attractions or dining throughout the Smokies!

2. Dine In

To save money, consider eating a few meals in. Our Pigeon Forge condos are fully-furnished, including the kitchen. We have provided pots, pans, dishes and glassware. After a quick trip to the grocery store, your family can spend much less on food. For families who plan to spend the day sightseeing, consider packing snack bags that everyone can munch on until returning to the unit. Snacks and drinks for the whole group can add up, so being prepared will save money and prevent extra stops. The fully equipped kitchens at our condos allow your family to prepare everything from light snacks to full meals, saving you money from having to eat out.

3. Transportation

Pigeon Forge Trolley

Consider leaving your car behind and seeing the sites from a relaxing trolley bus. Rather than driving, we recommend guests to consider this unique way to travel the Smokies because our Pigeon Forge condos are located just a minute’s walk from the Pigeon Forge trolley. Running every 20 to 25 minutes, the trolley begins its route at 8:00am and continues until midnight. They carry vacationers all over Sevier County, running seven routes over Pigeon Forge and Sevierville. With over a hundred stops available in the area, an all-day wristband is only $2.50, so you can hop on and hop off as often as you’d like. This is a great way to save money, so you can leave your vehicle parked at our condos while exploring the area.

4. Visit Welcome Centers

The final trick to saving money in the Smokies is to visit the welcome centers dotted along the Parkway and Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Travelers who stop in have access to guidebooks and travel planners that contain coupons to a number of the area’s attractions and entertainment. These stops also have gift shops for a Smoky Mountain souvenir, as well as maps and you’ll be able to see wildlife models. Some visitor centers even include park exhibits and a documentary theater, so make sure to add at least one to the trip itinerary.
