Spring in the Smoky Mountains: A Romantic Reset at Anson Arbor Farm
I don’t know about you, but Spring is when I start to come back to life.
It’s my favorite transition of the seasons - moving from the quiet stillness of winter into the fresh energy of Spring. The days stretch a little longer and everything around you slowly starts to wake up again.
Spring at the farm is no different. It’s so refreshing when the trees leaf back out, the grass is a rich shade of green (thanks to Jase), and the landscape is in full bloom. We want you to experience everything the farm - and the area - has to offer this season…
Spring at the Farm
For couples with weekday flexibility in their schedule, midweek stays can feel especially peaceful this time of year. Slower mornings, quieter surroundings, and more space to truly relax together often make Sunday through Thursday visits feel like a hidden gem.
To make it even easier to plan a spring escape, we’re currently offering our Midweek Retreat — 15% off Sunday through Thursday stays now through May 28. Simply use code MIDWEEK when booking your reservation. It’s the perfect opportunity to experience the farm during one of the most beautiful and restorative seasons of the year.
A Spring Reset - Soak & Unwind at the Farm
One of the things guests tell us they love most about their time here is how easy it feels to truly relax. Maybe it’s the quiet. Maybe it’s the slower pace. Or maybe it’s the simple moments - soaking outdoors, stepping into a warm shower, or sitting together without distractions.
This spring, we’re introducing our new SOAK & UNWIND EXPERIENCE, created to make those peaceful moments even more intentional.
Designed around relaxation and connection, this experience enhances the spa-like feel of your cottage with thoughtful touches that encourage you to slow down and be present together. Whether you spend the day exploring the Smoky Mountains or simply enjoying the farm, this is your invitation to unwind - completely.
This experience includes:
Bathtub Pillow (yours to take home)
Luxury Lavender Bath Salts
Candles
Aromatherapy Shower Steamers
Spring Happenings in the Smokies
One of the things we love most about spring is how much there is to experience just beyond the farm. Whether you’re looking for adventure or a scenic drive together, there are so many ways to enjoy the season. Some of our favorite Spring activities near the farm include:
🌿 Scenic Drives & Outdoor Beauty
Spring is the perfect time to explore the Foothills Parkway or take a drive through Cades Cove. Waterfalls are starting to flow, temperatures are comfortable, and the crowds of summer haven’t arrived yet.
🥾 Hiking & Nature Trails
If you enjoy being outdoors, spring offers the most ideal hiking weather. Many couples love visiting nearby waterfall trails or trails with a view.
🎢 Dollywood Reopens for the Season
One of the biggest signs that Spring has arrived in the Smoky Mountains is the reopening of Dollywood. The park typically kicks of its season in March with festivals, live entertainment, and seasonal food experiences. Even if you’re not planning a full day at the park, visiting the area during this time brings a fun energy to the region.
🏞️ Local Dining, Seasonal Attractions, & Events
Many local restaurants, attractions, outdoor experiences, wineries, and events begin ramping up again in the spring months. From mountain coasters and scenic chair lifts to local markets and festivals, there’s alway something new to explore.
🛁 Evenings Back at the Farm
After a day of exploring, many guests say their favorite moments are actually the quiet ones back at the farm - soaking in the outdoor tub, enjoying the sunset, or simply sitting together on the patio as the evening settles in.
It’s the perfect balance of adventure and rest.
