New Years Celebrations For 2025 (Some With Fireworks!)
December 18, 2025One of the best reasons to consider a vacation in Cosby, Tennessee, is all the stuff there we DON’T have here. Cosby is a destination for vacationers who want to see more undeveloped mountains in their Smoky Mountain getaway and less traffic on the way to it. We’re a minimalist, quiet and pretty peaceful place to spend some time away from home and we love it (you will, too!)
That being said, we do have some items of interest worth listing and posting about for your consideration along with summaries taken from their relevant websites. Take a look below:
Carver’s Orchards
“Carvers Orchard is a family owned business that began in the 1940’s and offers dozens of apple varieties throughout the harvesting season. The orchard is open year round offering homemade fried apple pies, apple butter, apple cider, jams and a wide variety of canned goods. Nestled in the foothills of The Great Smoky Mountain National Park the views of the orchard and surrounding mountains are stunning.”
