A holiday getaway through the Smokies and Music City. Twinkling lights, country music, Southern hospitality, and unforgettable Christmas memories — without the stress of planning a thing.
Join us for a festive holiday getaway filled with sparkling lights, legendary music, warm Southern hospitality, and unforgettable Christmas memories. From the twinkling streets of Pigeon Forge to the spectacular Gaylord Opryland Resort in Nashville, this trip is packed with holiday experiences without the stress of planning a thing.
This is a Coastal Carolina Crew trip, with motorcoach pickups in Calabash and Leland. Members from anywhere are welcome to fly into Myrtle Beach or drive in and join us. Just give Frances a call to coordinate.
Three nights at the breathtaking Gaylord Opryland Resort — one of the most beautiful Christmas resorts in America with millions of lights, indoor gardens, waterfalls, and holiday cheer around every corner. Two nights in Pigeon Forge for the Smoky Mountain holiday magic. And every detail handled by us, so you can focus on enjoying every moment.
Would you rather meet us there? Some travelers prefer to fly into Nashville and join the group at the Gaylord rather than ride the motorcoach the whole way. If that suits you better, reach out and we can make that happen.
