Around the Fire

Nothing says Fall quite like sitting around a glowing campfire as the sun falls behind the mountain horizon line. One of our team’s favorite ways to spenda cool night on the Farm is cozied around the fire sharing stories, roasting marshmallows and taking in the sights and sounds of a Smoky Mountain evening.Let us pull you up a rocking chair to enjoy a night by the bonfire on your next stay.

Guest services will get the fire going and tend to it throughout the evening, making sure you’re never without warm flames and a bright glow. We haveblankets at the ready to make sure you’re comfortable and warm. Enjoy freshly made hot chocolate, a favorite of kids and adults alike, or sip somethingstronger. You can bring your drink from dinner, or In Room Dining will be happy to deliver a fresh glass at the fire pit. Concierge suggests a hot toddy– it’s a great way to warm up in the quickly cooling East Tennessee weather.

S’mores kits are ready and waiting at the fire pit when you arrive, complete with all the necessities – graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallows. Foran additional treat, you can never go wrong with chocolate chip cookies, and it’s a fun substitute for the graham crackers in your s’mores if you’re lookingto try something new! If you’re craving a savory snack, the Concierge team recommends the fennel popcorn.

To create a special evening for friends or family, talk to Concierge about reserving the Yallarhammer during your stay for a private bonfire. We’ll lightthe fire, have the s’mores kit and roasting skewers ready, and we can even add lawn games for extra sunset fun. Top it off with a bottle of wine, and you’llhave a Farm night memory to cherish well beyond your stay.
