6 Tips for Planning a Cabin Trip with Friends
- Invite good friends with whom you feel comfortable spending a lot of time. There’s no room for drama starters and party poopers on this cabin trip!
- Keep everyone in the loop. It’s important to stay in touch and on top of things when planning your cabin getaway with friends so everyone feels involved and prepared when it’s time to travel.
- Choose the cabin that best suits your vacation needs and wants as a group. Are some friends on a tighter budget, or does the gang agree on a luxury cabin experience? Is everyone okay with sharing a bedroom, or are private suites a must?
- Plan meals ahead of time. Talk about who wants to cook, when ordering pick-up is best, and which snacks and drinks to keep at the cabin. Every rental with Pigeon Forge, TN Cabins has a fully equipped kitchen — with major appliances, pots and pans, dishes, cutlery, and more — so you can whip up homemade meals and snacks in a jiffy!
- Make room for free time. While having a general plan is okay, remember some friends may need more time to refresh throughout the day. A strict schedule can foster a stressful vacation…and no one wants that. Consider the introverts and extroverts of your group, be willing to compromise on time, and separate into smaller groups when needed.
- Go over the amenities list with the group. Help make sure your friends are aware of what the cabin provides and does not provide so everyone can pack accordingly. It might be helpful to pack a few extras yourself in case one of your buds forgets an essential.
