Top 8 Gatlinburg Bachelorette Party Ideas

Published Jun 16, 2020 Top 8 Gatlinburg Bachelorette Party Ideas

Gatlinburg is a great place to plan a bachelorette party. It's a bustling tourist town that still manages to hold onto the tranquility of a remote mountain getaway. You could spend a month here and not run out of fun, but since you're probably working with a weekend, here are eight ideas to build the perfect trip around.

1. Stay in a Fun Cabin Rental

Renting your own cabin is the hallmark of a great bachelorette trip. You get the whole place to yourselves, beautiful mountain scenery right outside, and a coziness no hotel can match. Bring on the cedar walls and warm fireplaces.

2. Moonshine Tasting at Sugarlands Shine

Dozens of whiskey, spirit, and moonshine flavors await at Sugarlands Shine, so everyone in the group is sure to find a favorite — maybe it's Southern Sweet Tea Moonshine or the Old Fashioned Lemonade Whiskey. Free samples, guided tours, and live music make it an easy stop to spend an hour or two.

3. Live Music at Ole Red

No bachelorette night out is complete without live music. Ole Red is Blake Shelton's honky-tonk on the Parkway, with a full bar, dance floor, and live performances daily. It's a great pick if the guest of honor has a soft spot for country music.

4. Sips at Tennessee Homemade Wines

Wine is a staple of many bachelorette parties, and Tennessee Homemade Wines uses locally grown fruit for extra flavor in every bottle. Stop in for a free tasting, and if you fall for their products, they offer a mail-order wine club that ships their bottles straight to your door.

5. See the Sights at Ober Gatlinburg

If you've journeyed to Gatlinburg for a bachelorette party, take a moment to actually see the landscape while you're here. Ober Gatlinburg is a year-round ski and amusement park with sweeping mountain views, just as fun in summer as it is in winter, and a great way to spend an afternoon taking photos to remember the trip.

6. Dinner at The Greenbrier

The Greenbrier Restaurant is the perfect dinner spot for a group of friends, with family-style appetizers to pass around the table, from baked oysters to full cheese boards, plus entrees like prime rib, trout, and lobster in a beautiful mountaintop setting.

7. Shop Downtown Gatlinburg

If you're planning a multi-day trip, you'll need some ways to fill the midday hours. Spend an afternoon exploring downtown Gatlinburg's shopping — The Village shopping center is especially fun, full of sweet shops and one-of-a-kind boutiques.

8. Sit on the Rooftop at Loco Burro

Balance out all that Southern food and whiskey with a Mexican dinner at Loco Burro, which lets you sit right on the roof. Enjoy rooftop entertainment and a spectacular view with your tacos, and stop by on a Tuesday for their weekly International Dance Night.
