      <title>Stay at Glenstone Lodge in Gatlinburg, TN</title>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[<img align="right" alt="Stay at Glenstone Lodge in Gatlinburg, TN" src="http://www.groupon.com/deal/rKrruqJqSQftC2AJEmi6/q5-960x582.jpg" width="120" /><h4>Expansive Lodge Surrounded by Great Smoky Mountains Woodlands</h4>

<p>Positioned less than a half mile outside the Tennessee entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Gatlinburg is an unusual gateway town full of things to do, see, and eat right on the border of mountainous wilderness. The <a href="http://gr.pn/10IHMjh">Gatlinburg Trolley</a> runs throughout town and stops at all the major attractions, including Ripley’s Aquarium, the Great Smoky Arts and Crafts Community, and an aerial cable-car tramway. The trolley also veers off the beaten path to stop at the Glenstone Lodge, tucked just outside of town amid rolling hills covered with ash and hickory trees. The rustic hotel exudes backcountry charm, even with its proximity and easy access to Gatlinburg and the national park. </p>

<p>The surrounding mountains and nearby attractions are the main draw, but there’s plenty to do at the lodge. You can hone your short game on the putting green, or train for the 400-meter individual medley in the outdoor pool. There’s also a two-level indoor pool fed by waterfalls within a cavernous, tropical-plant-filled atrium. The <a href="http://gr.pn/In5JpC">guest rooms</a> are accented by warm green hues and offer views of either the pool or surrounding woodlands.</p>

<h4>Gatlinburg, Tennessee: Family-Friendly Fun amid the Great Smoky Mountains</h4>

<p>Gatlinburg sits amid the Great Smoky Mountains in eastern Tennessee, near the border of North Carolina. Glenstone Lodge is less than a mile from <a href="http://gr.pn/niowxo">Great Smoky Mountains National Park</a>, one of America’s most popular national parks. Here, you can hike more than 100 trails that wend past waterfalls and pioneer-era log cabins tucked deep within the densely forested mountains. Or, take a bicycle ride on the 11-mile loop through Cades Cove, a broad valley known for its ample wildlife-viewing opportunities; deer, black bears, wild turkeys, and vacationing college mascots are known to frequent the open meadows. One of the best places to catch a glowing sunset is Clingmans Dome, the park’s highest point of elevation at 6,600 feet.</p>

<p>Downtown Gatlinburg is packed with attractions geared toward vacationing families. There are indoor water parks, ghost tours, and quirky museums, which include Ripley's Believe it or Not Odditorium, Guinness World Records Museum, and a museum showcasing more than 20,000 salt and pepper shakers.</p>

<h4>Blowing Rock, North Carolina: Scenic Hikes and Skiing in the Blue Ridge Mountains</h4>

<p>Blowing Rock is located on the edge of the 500,000-acre <a href="http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/nfsnc/recarea/?recid=48114">Pisgah National Forest</a> in northeastern North Carolina. The town, named for a <a href="http://www.theblowingrock.com/">rock formation</a>, is a home base for outdoor recreation in the <a href="http://www.visitnc.com/journeys/highlights/blue-ridge">Blue Ridge Mountains</a>—especially hiking, whitewater rafting, <a href="http://www.chetola.com/flyfishingpackage.html">fly-fishing</a>, and horseback riding. <a href="http://gr.pn/XOpdui">Moses H. Cone Memorial Park</a>, a historic estate on 3,600 acres of forests and meadows, has 26 miles of carriage roads designated for walking and horseback riding. To see the sights from a car, head to the <a href="http://gr.pn/ei58Ji">Blue Ridge Parkway</a>, a scenic motorway through the Appalachians.</p>

<p>Aside from the parkway, there's plenty to do year-round here, from whitewater rafting and fly-fishing in the summer to cross-country and downhill skiing in the cooler months. Nearby <a href="http://www.grandfather.com/">Grandfather Mountain</a> offers hiking trails and a nature museum. About 3 miles away is <a href="http://www.appskimtn.com/">Appalachian Ski Mountain</a>, a popular ski spot with 12 trails for all skill levels. 
According to <a href="http://www.fodors.com/world/north-america/usa/north-carolina/the-north-carolina-mountains/banner-elk/activities_h2447259_skiing.html"><em>Fodor’s</em></a>, it's 
the highest ski area in the eastern United States, at 5,500 feet above sea level.</p>

<p>Back in town, Blowing Rock’s Main Street is lined with antique shops, boutiques, and upscale bistros. Bargain hunters might want to stop by <a href="http://www.tangeroutlet.com/blowingrock/">Tanger Outlets</a>, home to Banana Republic, Loft, and Polo Ralph Lauren outlet stores.</p>

      <title>Stay at the Aqua Beach Inn in Myrtle Beach, SC. Dates Available Through September.</title>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[<img align="right" alt="Stay at the Aqua Beach Inn in Myrtle Beach, SC. Dates Available Through September." src="http://www.groupon.com/deal/h2kmWmFeyjenm5m7uyuN/Co-960x582.jpg" width="120" /><h4>Family-Friendly Accommodations with Full Kitchens Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean</h4>

<p>Beaches, surf shops, and seafood restaurants line the Myrtle Beach boardwalk, which begins at the city’s 2nd Avenue Pier and winds along the Atlantic Ocean to the 14th Avenue Pier. It’s arguably the biggest tourist attraction in the area. From the high-rise Aqua Beach Inn—located directly across from the 14th Avenue Pier—it’s an easy walk to the promenade and the beach.</p>

<p>Every <a href="http://www.aquabeachinn.com/guestrooms.php">room</a> at the Aqua Beach Inn points toward the Atlantic Ocean, and many rooms feature direct views from private balconies. Get up early to watch the sun rise over the ocean; you can also spend your morning whipping up breakfast in the room’s fully equipped kitchen. Later in the day, feel free to barbecue in the inn's gas-grill area or take a dip in the outdoor pool.</p>

<h4>Myrtle Beach, South Carolina: Sandy Beaches, Seaside Golf Courses, and Classic Amusement-Park Rides</h4>

<p>Myrtle Beach is the crown jewel of South Carolina's Grand Strand, a 60-mile stretch of white, sandy beaches along the Atlantic seaboard that draws surfers, fishers, and kayakers. The city was named one of the best vacation spots in the United States for a family by <a href="http://gr.pn/QdJjJa"><em>USA Today</em></a>, in part because of its wooden boardwalk, which stretches for more than a mile and buzzes with carnival games and amusement-park rides. Hop into the SkyWheel ferris wheel’s glass-floored gondolas, surrounded by more than a million LED lights, for a panoramic view of the city below.</p>

<p>Less than 20 miles south of Myrtle Beach, the tiny fishing village of Murrells Inlet provides a tranquil contrast to the boardwalk's hustle and bustle. At <a href="http://www.brookgreen.org/">Brookgreen Gardens</a>, more than 1,400 original sculptures stand amid sprawling floral gardens and massive, moss-covered oak trees that have been around for centuries. Murrells Inlet is also home to the Tom Fazio–designed <a href="http://www.tpcmyrtlebeach.com/">TPC Myrtle Beach golf course</a>, 1 of more than 100 courses in the area that helped Myrtle Beach earn its title as the seaside golf capital of the world.</p>
