One way to help you pick a destination is by choosing our vacation rentals to ensure a comfortable experience. Our summer vacation rentals can be found in a variety of locations including the Smoky Mountains, Asheville, and NYC. Take a look at what you can plan for to make the most of your summer getaway in these incredible spots:
Summer in the Smoky Mountains
When you vacation to The Smoky Mountains you will specifically be staying around the Gatlinburg area. This location is known to feature some of the most exciting features in the area. The area is named after the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and should be the first place you plan on visiting in the area. This national park features lush forests and wildflowers that can be found year round. The early summer season is a great time to visit so you can see the flowing waterfalls and streams at their peak. Plentiful hiking trails follow part of the Appalachian Trail and will take you to spots including Clingmans Dome with scenic views all around. Of course you will want additional attractions and activities to keep you busy during your stay with too. Take the ski lift found in Downtown Gatlinburg up to Ober Mountain where this winter sports destination turns into a summer attraction center. Enjoy rides on the Ski Mountain Coaster and Alpine Slide that offers thrilling experience around the top of the mountain. The Aerial Tramway that takes you up to Ober Mountain is an enjoyable experience in and of itself. You will get to see an unprecedented view of the area.
Asheville Summer Activities
For another destination that offers plenty of outdoor fun along with unique summer activities look no further than Asheville. This North Carolina community is ready to show you just how relaxing a summer stay can be. Asheville sits right at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains that offers incredible views that get even more amazing in the summer. Come check out the best views during the summer at nearby sunset viewing spots. The Blue Ridge Parkway is a top scenic drive in the country and will have you enjoying panoramic views. Enjoy the drive around dusk to take in the sun as it starts to fall behind the mountains in the backdrop. This is also a great spot for stargazing as you see stars at a whole new level. The Blue Ridge Mountains also offers a near endless supply of incredible hiking trails that are perfect to traverse in the summer. If you make it during the early summer you will have a chance to see flowing waterfalls at their peak in the park too. Asheville is home to some of the top craft breweries in the state of North Carolina. Local favorites include Burial Beer Co., Wicked Weed Brewing, and Twin Leaf Brewery. You can stop by their taprooms whenever during your stay or book a craft beer guided tour that will take you to several different spots and cover your transportation needs too. Asheville in the summer is always spent best outdoors!
New York City in the Summer
Come check out the Big Apple by booking your summer stay for New York City! You will find that the city never truly sleeps even when the temperatures start to rise. There is no visit to Manhattan than a stop by Central Park. It is the first landscaped park in the United States and has stood the test of time. You can explore the park by horseback carriage or take a boat tour on the water. The Central Park Zoo is close by and offers a variety of summer fun for the kids to enjoy. Whenever the temperatures rise you can always cool off indoors. Specifically, you can book a show to see a Broadway musical. Seeing a show on Broadway is a textbook experience of New York City and tickets frequently sell out to most shows. Reserve your seats in advance to ensure a chance to see your favorite musical up close. Check out one of the newer parts of the city with a visit to The High line. This 1.45 mile long park is located on top of an old rail trail and is found on the west side of Manhattan. You will be just down the street from a marketplace and food hall so you don’t go hungry!
