April in particular marks a time of year in the Smokies where several elements come together to offer a blend of recreational appeal that is popular with millions of Smoky Mountain vacationers.

April marks a real turn in the seasons in the Smoky Mountains; in more ways than one. First of all, it's during March and April that the stunning Appalachian hills known as the Smoky Mountains begin to bloom in shades of brilliant garden green. The diverse foliage in the Smokies guarantees that multiple shades are on display- and this always makes for magnificent mountain vistas rising above the valley below. Not only does spring mark them time of year that the "hills come alive" with a blanket of fresh foliage, but its also during this time of year that the region is quickly teeming with animal life- of a thousand varieties. Of course this includes the famous Smoky Mountain black bears that are waking up from a winter's hibernation!

April and the spring season also makes for the perfect occasion to take advantage of the majestic mountain lodging accommodations available in the area. Tennessee cabins are something special to experience for Smoky Mountain vacationers- both young and old alike. What better way to enjoy the springtime bloom in the Smoky Mountain wilderness than from the comfortable confines of a Tennessee cabin rental? The vistas offered up by a Smoky Mountain home are truly second to none. While a hotel room in downtown Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg may offer much, it could never compare with the views provided by a comfortable mountaintop cabin rental.

Truth be told, many of the cabin rentals available in the Smoky Mountains region are much more than comfortable. And that means that sensational views are just the beginning of the accommodation appeal. Take the magnificent mountain homes available from the Preserve Resort for example.

Not only does each of these three exciting resort cities offer their own blend of Smoky Mountain recreation during this time of the year, but they also join hands to host the now famous Smoky Mountain Springfest Festival; an entertaining series of springtime events that helps to draw millions of people to the area each and every year.
