Top 5 Key Elements to
Romantic Success

# 1 Surprise
 
The element of surprise is a very powerful tool. It shows foresight and planning, and it says "I care enough about you to go to lengths to, well, surprise you." Women especially seem to relate surprise with romance. It doesn't need to be an elaborate scheme, just show forethought.

Invite your special someone to Mountain Laurel with a 'message in a bottle'! Tell your love that you found Mountain Laurel and it made you long to surprise him/her with a fabulous mountain getaway.  Consider In Cabin Services to provide a wonderful surprise for you both…and it will be waiting upon your arrival!

# 2 Creativity
 
Creativity in your dating life and dating in your married life keeps things fresh and fun.  When was the last time you did something silly on a date?  Had a pillow fight or water war? Finger painted?  Read poetry out loud? If you've never done one of these things, try it on your next date.  Better yet, combine two or more of these activities!

Mountain Laurel sets the stage for your own creative ideas!  Roast marshmallows by our wood burning fireplaces, fill the Jacuzzi with warm water and scented salts, take a romantic walk in the woods, or have a private, mountain picnic…let your imagination make the most of your romantic adventure!

# 3 Interest
 
Okay, this seems like a no-brainer, but for a successful romantic event, one or both of you need to be interested in the activity.

The Great Smoky Mountains offer a variety of indoor and outdoor activities that can be turned into a romantic adventure! A romantic picnic or hike is usually a great idea for nearly anyone.  Consider a picnic in the Chalet and read him/her your personally written love letter. The views alone will stir the heart!

# 4 Planning
 
Planning is what separates a truly impressive and memorable romantic getaway from a mediocre one.  Call ahead, make reservations, do a little research.

We are happy to help you with arrangements for your perfect romantic weekend at Mountain Laurel. Our 1-bedroom chalets feature king or queen beds, Jacuzzis, fireplaces, hot tubs, and seclusion or mountain views…each having something special that will add romantic ambiance. Click here to view our chalets and choose the amenities that best fit your plan.

# 5 A Sense of Humor
 
Along with your most romantic plan, have a Plan B in mind and a sense of humor to get you through it.  Even with the other four elements -- surprise, creativity, interest, and planning--dates can still be affected by circumstances beyond your control. The ability to laugh together is the mark of a great romance. Horribly ruined dates can become private jokes and fond memories if you keep your sense of humor intact.

At Mountain Laurel Chalets, we will do everything we can to be sure your cabin or chalet is ready for whatever your planning may include.  Sense of Humor has carried us through our 30 years of serving couples just like you!  Come to Gatlinburg and have a wonderfully romantic time in the Smokies!
