PF Gatlinburg cabin whole house generator

[John Underwood]

I noticed several neighbors at our PF cabin have whole house generators.

Our neighborhood has underground electrical, but the main roads are all obove ground.

I only saw the electrical go out once for a few hours this winter and the guests were very understanding.

For those of you that own a cabin in this area do you have a generator and if so how often has it been needed over the years?

With a well you lose water also when power goes out.

We do have 1 gas fireplace but it doesn't put out any significant heat.
