The term “cabin” conjures up many images depending on your area and perhaps experiences with camping or cabin life.  After 5 months of living with friends in my pursuit to move to the mountains of Colorado, a co-worker told me she knew of someone who had a “cabin” for rent.  Immediately, I pictured a small wood building nestled on a hillside just a few miles off the main interstate, a cozy interior with rustic ambience, maybe a front porch with a rocker.  I was definitely interested as it was time to give my friends their home and routine back and for me to have a place of my own.

Just a shed

Well, it turned out this “cabin” was really a tin tool shed with half of the square footage taken up by lawn and garden equipment.  The other half, albeit tin on the outside, was very cabin-esque on the inside.   Although I ended up renting the space and loving the summer I spent there, it definitely wasn’t what I expected when I heard it called a “cabin.”  Pigeon Forge cabin rentals offered by Cabins USA, on the other hand, are the opposite of what my cabin was!  They’re not only comfortable and luxurious on the inside; complete with all the amenities of home, they’re also cabins on the outside!

Now these are cabins!

Located in several Pigeon Forge, TN communities, Cabins USA offers sleeping accommodations for 2 to 24 all under one roof.  Want to bring a church, youth or scout group?  Then accommodations are available with several cabins to lodge up to as many as 100 people.  You won’t have to worry about any damaging effects to your conjured up images of what a cabin should be or any surprises other than how eager the staff is to make your stay positively memorable.

What’s your pleasure?

There’s something calming and peaceful when staying in the out of doors with tree covered, rolling mountains and the sound of birds and insects singing joyfully all around you.  Pigeon Forge cabin rentals offers a spectacular setting, plush and modern amenities and lodging rates to suit any budget.  In addition, once everyone is rested and rejuvenated, cabins from Cabins USA are all located within close proximity of the local attractions and entertainment venues.

Whether you’re coming to celebrate, explore natural parks and all their wonders, reconnect with loved ones, or experience Southern entertainment and hospitality, Cabins USA has the expert staff to help make it all happen.  It’s sure to create pleasant memories for any special event you are celebrating.  It promises to be a positive vacation or reunion experience without any damaging effects to your image of what a cabin rental vacation should be!

Welcome back!

The Peabody Marching Ducks
People come from all over the place to see the resident ducks on parade at the Peabody Memphis hotel. For their 75th birthday, the ducks got a spanking new $200,000 rooftop palace to live in.

Seriously, they are one of the top three attractions in Memphis and bring a lot of tourist dollars into the city. So, if you’re in Memphis, don’t miss them, especially if you have kids with you. Shows are at 11 am and 5 pm.

While you’re at the Peabody, stop in Lansky’s in the lobby area, known as Clothier to the King. This is were Elvis Presley got some of his very cool outfits.

Graceland

Speaking of Elvis, as is to be expected, Graceland is another of the most popular stops for visitors to Memphis. See the auto museum, complete with a pink Cadillac, the Meditation Garden, the Gates of Graceland, Elvis’s customized planes and more King of Rock ‘n’ Roll memorabilia than even the mos

t ardent fan can imagine.

You can even get married in the Chapel in the Woods and stay in a special Elvis Suite at The Heartbreak Hotel and indulge in happy hour in the Jungle Room Lounge!

Harbor Town

Harbor Town is a planned community in the New Urbanism style on Mud Island, just northwest of downtown. Conceived and created by Henry Turley, Harbor Town was started in the late 1980’s and has become a showcase for urban planning. A greenbelt with ponds and trails runs along the mighty Mississippi, which includes a celebrated bike route.

Commercial development is now rounding out the neighborhoods with Miss Cordelia’s Grocery and Deli, a day care center, a Great Cuts salon and a boutique hotel with excellent restaurants and much needed space for classy special events in Memphis’s downtown area.

Beale Street
This famous thorough fare is known as The Home of the Blues AND The Birthplace of Rock’n'Roll. That’s a pretty powerful reason to stroll through it’s historic district! It has a notorious past as party central in the 1920’s and 30’s and there are still plenty of live juke joints with dance floors and down home cooking on the menu. To add a twist, tour Beale Street via a horsedrawn carriage. While that seems out of place in some towns, it’s a perfect fit for this Memphis neighborhood.
