Favorite Place to Get Away:

Gatlinburg, Tennessee
When my dad died, we took a portion of his estate and invested it in rental property in Gatlinburg. For over twenty years, it had been our dream and prayer to have a place in the mountains. It's where we go for study breaks. Although we rent it, it's still like a home away from home for us.
