Hidden Mountain Resorts

Hidden Mountain Resorts goes all-out for their honeymoon guests. They offer (at least) three all-inclusive romance packages: the Romance Awaits Package, the Honeymooners Only Package, and the Romantic Hibernation Package. The Honeymooners Only Package, for example, includes accommodations in a romantic log cabin, with a king size bed, fireplace, hot tub, whirlpool tub, fully equipped kitchen, and gas grill. That is only the beginning. Hidden Mountain also decorates your bed with roses, placing a heart in the center of the bed with a romantic poem on it, outlining it in rose petals. On the pillow is a long-stemmed rose and a bag of chocolate kisses. Four candles are placed in the room.

There's also a Honeymoon Basket placed in your room when you arrive. This includes a wedding photo album, a beautiful glass wedding day picture frame and smaller frame, candle, sparkling cider, two glasses, a bag of gourmet chocolates, white carnation scented bath products, sweet almond massage oil, edible love dust and an ostrich feather for both bride and groom.

There's also a Smoky Mountain Picnic basket, which is great for the mountains or can be enjoyed inside your cabin. It includes Cracker Jacks, Oreos, Pringles, Smoky Mountain taffy, sparkling cider, two glasses, summer sausage, smoke cheddar cheese, crackers, a loaf of wheat berry bread, mayonnaise, mustard, a snack tray, two plates, napkins, forks and knives, apples, oranges, and bananas a pint of potato salad and pasta salad along with meat and cheese tray consisting of five slices of turkey, roast beef, and ham, American and Swiss cheeses, lettuce, tomato, and pickles. This is enough for two picnics.

There is still more! There will also be a basket full of Smoky Mountain treasures. This includes a plush black bear, Smoky Mountain taffy, two Hidden Mountain mugs, a Smoky Mountain cookbook, a book tour of famous Cades Cove that will tell you all about it as you take the drive, three post cards, hot cider, hot cocoa, cappuccino, a chocolate covered pretzel, stoned wheat crackers, homemade fudge, locally made lye soap as well as corn cob jelly, pumpkin butter, and moonshine jelly all from Smoky Mountain farms and a black bear figurine.

You may also choose a night to have a romantic candlelit dinner for two set up in your cabin. The dinner includes two 8-ounce rib eye steaks already marinated and ready for you to grill to your liking, a tossed salad, salad dressing, butter and sour cream, sparkling cider, pound cake, strawberries and whipped topping. Two baking potatoes and four rolls will be placed in the stove. Your table will be set and fit for royalty (you may substitute the steaks for pork chops or chicken). Or you may prefer a Lasagna Dinner, which includes two large servings of homemade lasagna, Parmesan cheese, garden salad, dressing, a loaf of Asiago cheese bread, butter, sparkling cider, crackers, and 2 slices of cheesecake. The cost of the Honeymooners Only Package for three nights is $695-970 (all inclusive), depending on the cabin. But those are a lot of extras! That sounds like a honeymoon you would never forget.

Hidden Mountain also has a wedding chapel on-site and can arrange wedding services for you -- as simple or as elaborate as you wish.

In addition to all the amenities of your Smoky Mountain cabin, Hidden Mountain provides free daily housekeeping, onsite maintenance, and an office open 24 hours, 7 days a week. Advance show tickets are available, and groceries can be delivered to your door.
