Tree Tops ResortBest of IgoUgo

Hotel | "The Treetops Resort"

Well-managed, well-kept family resort in Gatlinburg, TN. The rooms are excellent, with beautiful stone fireplaces in each villa, and the mountain stream ran out behind our deck. Wait a minute--on second thought, forget it! The place is a dump (laugh)--you don't want to go there! I want to go back there next year if I talk the place up--I won't be able to get in!

Restaurant

This is a country show with food--it's a great show, as they all were, but the kids really got a kick out of it.

Smoky Mountain National ParkBest of IgoUgo

You start out driving up these beautiful mountains (they don't call them the Smokies for nothing), and you then stop at different spots along the way, going higher and higher until you get to the top--MAN, WHAT A VIEW! You can see forever!

Smith Family TheaterBest of IgoUgo

Attraction | "Southern Nights"

Great country show--you won't believe the entertainment in Pigeon Forge. It's one show after another, like Branson, with miles and miles of show after show. You will be supprised!
