The Smoky Mountains were closed due to the Government shutdown but we had a great time at Elk Springs Resort ""Serenity Lodge"". A 5 bedroom, 4 bath cabin with so many amenities that we immediately felt comfortable and at home. Rocking chairs on the porch for snacks and drinks, and a fully equipped kitchen which we used to prepare several breakfasts and dinners. Evenings in the media room for movies, we will definitely be back !!\r
