Find Cheap Airfares - Tips and information on discount travel

Pigeon Forge is a great destination, whether you’re visiting with your family, your friends, or your partner. With all of the fantastic activities and attractions, however, you don’t want to blow your entire budget on your accommodations. Well, you don’t have to! In fact, it is possible to stay in Pigeon Forge for less than $50 per night. Here’s how you can do it…

1. Go in the off season. There are a couple of peak times when hotels in Pigeon Forge are at their highest. During the early summer months, during the fall foliage, the week that Dollywood opens, and right before Christmas are their most expensive times of the year. Any time other than that and you can find most of their hotels at a steal.

Recently, a search of accommodations in early February yielded $49 rates for hotels with indoor pools, fitness centers, and free continental breakfast. If you didn’t require a pool or any extra amenities, then the rates dropped down to as low as $21 per night, believe it or not.

2. Take some friends. For the most part, the rooms charge for 3 people. Anything over that and you will have to pay around $20 per person. However, some of the suites are designed for more people and even with the $20 extra for the 4th or 5th person, you are still coming out ahead. Going in the high season, getting a moderately priced room at around $110 per night, and splitting it with 3 other people can bring you down to $32.50 per night per person.

3. Stay in a condo. There are some new developments up, too, that are made for visiting families or groups of friends. These condos feature kitchenettes, maid service, 2 or more bedrooms and bathrooms, DVD players, and even fireplaces. If you stay in a condo in Pigeon Forge for $150 per night and you take 5 friends with you to split the cost, you’re spending $25 per night. Some of the new condo developments even have small indoor water parks in them.

4. Stay in a no-frills hotel. Mostly, even the basic hotels have outdoor pools. If you’re not picky about having an indoor pool and fitness center, or if matters little to you whether or not your hotel offers free breakfast, then staying in one of the cheaper motels on the strip in Pigeon Forge can save you a lot of money. In the summertime when rates are high, you can stay in one of these basic establishments for sometimes as little as $35 per night, which can be a huge savings.

5. Stay in neighboring Sevierville. Just a couple of miles away, you can sometimes save money by staying in Sevierville. Their hotels are just as nice and you can be to Pigeon Forge in as little as 5 minutes. Since you need a car to maneuver the area anyway, staying an extra few minutes away might not matter. Hotels with multiple amenities in Sevierville in the off season start at $30 per night.

With the multitude of hotels available in the Pigeon Forge area, it shouldn’t be difficult to find one that matches your budget. Following these tips can help you not only score cheap rooms, but in doing so, you will have plenty of cash left over for the shows and shopping.
