It never fails I was heading off to hills to to listen to some new tunes and as I drive through the turning leaves of the SmokyMountains. Cruising down a hollow I drive by some cabins on my way to my mountain cabin rental. I saw all kinds of wild animalsas entered the mountain cove.
I would guess that I saw more deer than anything else. I was about to drive by an old cabin when I saw 8 deer standing through the fog from me. It looked like they were eating something bright green grass , maybe clovers! I was really shocked the closer I got to them, they didn’t look at me twice. Here is North Alabama if you see a deer, he is gone running like a bolt of lightning. Except for at LakeGuntersville, they seem to be pretty tame from the all the campers that feed them everyday. They have somevery pretty lake cabins on the Tennessesee river in Guntersville. Ihave stayed in them a few times over the years.
I stopping my car beside the old Chalet and watched the deer for a good 5 minutes and then an 18-wheeler drove by and scared them off into the dark holler. I was on my way on down the road when I saw some kind of cat. I figured it was a mountain lion. It seemed to be 2-3 times larger than your average house cat. It didn’t even give me enough time to get good look at him.Well a few minutes later I arrived at my Mountain Cabin Rental and when I opened the door I was surprised.I walked in and it had a hot tub the size of my car and they built it where you could watch TV and chill at the same time. The floors were super awesome and you could tell someone built this baby with pride. They had every detail of Rental Villa down to the core.I have traveled a lot in my life and never seen a cleaner place. The walls of the Rental Cabin were logs and the cement they used looked awesome. It made me want to build me one just like it. I looked out my window and I could see several other Cabins within a rocks throw. IT didn’t matter though as I was happy with that super hottub to keep me busy.I soon started to bring in my stuff and decided to leave my cooler outside by the cabin door. It was pretty cool that day, the high only being around 40, so I figured it would be all right outside.Well that night I fell asleep around midnight and woke up to a horrible noise. I jumped up turned on the light and looked and it was a big old mountain coon just smiling at me. He had managed to rip off the top of the cooler and eat most of my food!He sat there and looked at me for just a min, enough time to see hi blackbands.
I yelled at him and he ran off into the darkness. I put the lid on the cooler and found some heavy logs on top and went back to bed. Well it wasn’t 30 minutes later that I heard him again. So I cut the light on and once again ran between two Cabin Rentals and disappeared into the night.He had managed to get in there again. I could not believe how strong he was to get inside.
Well the next day I went to Wally world and bought some bunjies. I figured this would so the trick. Well that night flew by with no problems but sometime after I left he came back and managed to break one strap. He didn’t get in, he must have gotten tired or someone scared him real good.Through my experience I found that a plastic cooler isn’t too much competition for those crazy Smoky Mountain Coons. If I were you I would buy a metal or aluminum cooler with a locking handle.That would be tough enough to keep the beers out as well. Well maybe!If you are in the mountains in the winter they are hibernating until spring. But you never know these days with the weather being crazy like it gets. The perfect Vacation Rentals always come with a fridge, but just in case always carry a sturdy cooler with you. I have heard stories of hungry bear ripping apart cheap plastic coolers. So when you rent your Mountain Chalet be sure to ask for the amenities they have. Ihave a friend that told me about this story one time He said he found a Cabin site on-line that was advertising Hunting Rental Cabins and the price was right so he took it. Well about a month runs by and he is on his way to this Alabama Cabin and when he arrives he had the shock of his life. It was really a Primitive Hunting Lodge and didn’t even have a fridge in to. He laughed though; he said it had a microwave and no stove. So there goes to prove that you never know what your going to get till you get it.If you are looking to get closer to nature a Smoky Mountain Cabin is just about as close as your gonna get. There are a lot of good Directories out there with mountain cabin rentals from all over. Some people call them Mountain Cabins, Chalets, Rental Villa,or just lodge. Whatever tickles your fancy call them, there is always a Mountain Cabin Rental perfect for your dream vacation. By ariver or on top of the Mountain it is best way to getaway for a peaceful experience with a little action. Oh yeah I couldn’t figure out what that crazy Mountain Coon was tryingget to but he sure didn’t want to pass it up. Sometimes I think he was trying to find more peanut butter sandwiches.So if you see a Cabin coon with peanut butter face you better watch your cooler and keep it locked up in your rental villa. Coming soon. Don’t feed the bears beer!Until next time.Johnny C www.mountaindreamrentals.comwww.AlabamaRockCompany.comStart Building your web Empire today!
