If you've never stayed in the Smoky Mountains, you may be unaware of the "Luck of the LadyBug"! Several years ago, the National Park Service released several million Asian Beetles into the park to fight a tree-killing insect that is destroying thousands of park trees. The beetle actually eats the food source of the bug that causes the destruction. The Gatlinburg area is home to a large population of these lucky ladybugs. The Ladybug likes warm, sunny places such as windows. Cabin renters are constantly removing Ladybugs, only to find them back again within hours. These lil guys are harmless, but prepare to see them in clusters! Keeping luggage closed can help prevent stowaways. ;)
There is a lot in front of the cabin and another overflow lot, a "short walk away."
