Gatlinburg Getaway | A Fall Escape in the Smokies 🍂⛰️

Spent three dreamy days and two cozy nights soaking in the golden glow of autumn in the Great Smoky Mountains — and it was pure magic! Here’s your go-to guide for eating, staying, and playing in Gatlinburg: 🍽️ Where to Eat 🦐 Bubble Gump Shrimp Co. Movie-themed, fun, and super Instagram-worthy! Calamari | $15.99 Crispy, tender squid with fried red peppers and pickled jalapeños — a tasty twist! Jambalaya | $23.99 Hearty, flavorful, and packed with juicy shrimp — a must-try! Shrimper’s Heaven | $26.99 A decent fried shrimp platter, but the coconut shrimp felt a bit heavy. 🍨 Crazy Mason Over-the-top milkshakes and ice cream — go for the vibe! Meet Me in the Mountains | $18 An Oreo-chocolate pie shake served in a cute bear glass 🐻💕 — super sweet but totally shareable! 🍳 Crockett’s Breakfast Camp The most popular breakfast spot in town — be prepared to wait! Mountain Omelet | $13.99 Fluffy eggs filled with goodness, served with hearty potatoes — so satisfying! Buckwheat Fruit & Nut Pancake | $11.99 Nutty and fragrant, though not quite as amazing as we’d hoped. Strawberry Juice | 💔 Too tart for our taste — maybe skip this one! 🥪 Tennessee Jed’s A low-key spot for solid sandwiches — no long lines! Turkey with Egg & Cheese | $7 A hearty, delicious combo — highly recommend! Sausage with Egg & Cheese | $7 Good, but the turkey version wins 🥇 🍁 What to Do Catch the dreamy mountain fog at Newfound Gap 🌫️ Watch a breathtaking sunrise from Clingmans Dome 🌅 Drive through fall colors on Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail 🚗🍂 Spot deer and bears in Cades Cove 🦌🐻 🏨 Where to Stay Hotel Indigo Gatlinburg 📍 229 East Pkwy, Gatlinburg, TN 37738 A newly opened hotel — clean, cozy, and perfectly located!
