2. Enjoy a Scenic Winter Hike Together
Even in winter, the Smoky Mountains offer stunning scenery perfect for romantic hikes. Many trails are less crowded, giving you the chance to have the trails all to yourself. Trails like Little Brier Gap to Walker Sisters Place and Porter’s Creek provide relatively easy paths that are usually easily accessible in winter.
For a more adventurous hike: head to Kuwohee (Clingmans Dome), the highest point in the Smokies, for panoramic winter views. Just be sure to check for weather-related closures before you go. The quiet, snow-covered trails and frost-covered trees make for a magical outdoor experience.
3. Take a Couples’ Spa Day
After a day of exploring, unwind with a relaxing spa day. Many local spas offer couples’ packages, including massages and facials, which can be the perfect way to recharge.
Note: Some spas even offer in-cabin spa services, so you don’t have to leave the comfort of your retreat to enjoy pampering.
4. Spend Time by the Fire
Spending time by the fire is one of the most romantic activities couples can enjoy during a getaway in the Smoky Mountains. Imagine snuggling up together on a plush blanket with the warm glow of the flames flickering around you. Enhance the experience by preparing a cozy snack, such as popcorn or s’mores, to enjoy while you relax. As you sit together, take the time to reflect on your day or plan your upcoming adventures, all while the comforting crackle of the fire provides a soothing soundtrack.
5. Soaking Under the Stars
There’s something truly magical about soaking in a hot tub together under the winter night sky. The stars twinkle above, providing an idyllic backdrop with the sounds of nature as your easy-listening music. This intimate setting allows for heartfelt conversations, and quiet moments of connection while enjoying the beauty of the Smoky Mountains together.
