Deals Gap/ Pigeon Forge Hotels For Bikers

When you heading down

 

We stayed there last week, and I didn’t enjoy it much. Our cabin was rough, and the restaurant there was a disaster every time we went. However, a lot of people love Fontana, so maybe we just got unlucky.

 

Heading down July 10 and coming back July 16.

 

Yes. In order to be considered a "resort" with perks, the has to be like 3 or 4 things you Must have. I know deals gap resort has all. I think the requirements are something like a tennis or basketball court. A hitching post for horses. An area for overnight stays, and food on premises. As I said, you can choose from a list. When Brad (owner of deals gap resort), and I use to hang out regularly, we use to talk about that stuff. There are tennis courts at deals gap resort. You just have to follow this gravel road up behind the old garage area about 150 yards behind the tree line.

 

We've rented a house in Robbinsville and are headed down a week from today for 8 days. If you go by the Weather Channel forecast, it shows it's going to rain every day we're there. Yet for the last month it's been showing rain damn near every day. So is it really raining every day there or is it just a spot shower for 30 minutes? We're hauling 5 motorcycles...I don't want to sit on the porch and watch the rain every day.

 

It's a lot different down there than here in Indiana. It always calls for rain, and usually does, for about 10-20 minutes occasionally. Just embrace it, besides, rain makes you smoother.

 

We had the exact same forecast when we were there three weeks ago. We rode in the dry every day. All we got was scattered showers at about 4:00 PM. Bring a rain suit in your bags and pop it on when it starts and enjoy 90% of your day.

 

Thanks, that's what I was hoping. Our plan is to ride from about 10-2 or 3 so a 4 o' clock rain shower should be when we're cracking that first beer. We do plan on riding to Helen one day so we'll prepare.

 

Just be ready for very sudden changes of weather on the Cherohala Skyway. That place has it's own micro climate and temperature can drop 20 degrees in minutes.

 

Bummer. A lot can change in ten years for sure.

 

Agree 100% regarding the weather. Seems I see 80-90% chance of storms daily over the last 2 weeks. In reality, you’ve got about a 30% after about 2-3pm. At worst. And those you can often dodge.
