About Lindsey Stallings

I started with Cabins of the Smoky Mountains at Gatlinburg Falls in early 2014. I love to interact with our guests and help them to plan their vacations. Each guest has a different story, and they come from all over the world. I was raised in Ohio, but moved to Tennessee as a teenager and finished high school in Pigeon Forge. Cades Cove is one of the most beautiful places, by far my favorite place in this area. I try to take time out to visit it as often as possible, especially in the Fall.

It’s February in the Smoky Mountains and this is a popular month to get married. May and June are the busiest time of all – now, could it be that’s because somebody proposed back on Valentine’s Day?

Love goes around and around in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, between engagements, weddings, honeymoons, anniversaries and vow renewals – people fall in love with the Smoky Mountains too, and return again and again. See our latest article: Valentine’s Day 2016: Love in the Smoky Mountains.
