Smokey Mountain Memories

There are tons of attractions: country music shows, comedy shows, go-carts, carnival-type rides, nature excursions, horseback riding, and helicopter flights. There are hundreds of places to shop and several outlet malls.

Quick Tips:

Get a good, detailed roadmap of the area. There are a few back roads that can get you just about anywhere, but the traffic on the main drag is at times horrible. You can get coupons everywhere, and use them, as you will save a bundle.

Best Way To Get Around:

They do have trolleys that only cost .25. They are okay to use in Pigeon Forge, but I would not suggest using them in Gatlinburg, unless you have a lot of time. They get crowded and are slow. I was passed by eight trolleys one day because they were full when they got to my stop.

These were very nice and clean accommodations for the price. There was a pleasant staff, and the new breakfast cabin is a nice addition. Mandy, hospitality host for the complimentary breakfast, is an excellent resource on local shops and sights of interest. The room was very clean and well kept. Free breakfast is provided, with cereal, muffins, fruit etc.

Dollywood is a great place for the entire family. They have something for everyone. There are rides and attractions for any age. The Craftsman's Valley area is a great place to relax and see things being made close up. There is also an American Bald Eagle sanctuary in Craftsman's Valley. This is a rare opportunity to see a bald eagle up close.
