Welcome to the Sensational Smokies, where you can choose from all the varied adventures and attractions that make the Smoky Mountain National Park the nation’s most popular and most visited national park. Maybe you want to venture down a hiking trail. You can choose from among 800 miles of them, stretching for 50 miles across Tennessee and North Carolina. Or maybe it’s the excitement of Dollywood, the much-heralded theme park created by Western song stylist Dolly Parton, with its many shops, rides, and attractions. Or maybe it’s the live performances, hoe-downs, trail rides, white water rafting, fishing, golfing, camping, dancing, dining, and shopping offered by the three gateway towns of Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg. Maybe it’s a wedding chapel on a misty mountainside.

Whether you opt for a day of outdoor fun in the sun or whether you’d rather wander inside the many malls and specialty shops that greet you in every town, the end of the day is a special one in the Smokies because you can slip away from the hustle and enjoy the evening in your own mountainside cabin, complete with all the amenities. Nothing has been forgotten. You’ll enjoy satellite TV/DVD, a fireplace, reverse cycle A/C, and a completely supplied kitchen, ready to satisfy any palate. And for that perfect après dinner experience, step out onto your own private balcony and breathe that fresh mountain air the Smokies are so famous for. Then, after a night of restful sleep in pin-drop silence, you’ll awake to a crisp mountain morning and a steamy cup of coffee on the balcony. It’s a good thing you’re rested, because the day promises to be full of fun, fun, and more fun.
