Everything to Do in the Smoky Mountains
Theme parks, mountaintop coasters, 800 miles of trail, dinner shows, and the national park — all minutes from your door. We live here, so these are the spots we actually send our friends. And with every stay, $1,000 in free attraction tickets comes included.
The Smokies' Best, by the Locals
Bolded "Free Ticket" means it's one of the attractions included with your stay.
Dollywood
Dolly Parton's namesake theme park — roller coasters, crafts, live music, and seasonal festivals (Harvest & Smoky Mountain Christmas). The South's most-visited ticketed attraction.
Anakeesta
Ride the Chondola up the mountain to a treetop skywalk, mountain coaster, dual-rail zip line, and Astra Lumina night walk. Sunset views over Gatlinburg.
Titanic Museum Attraction
Walk the Grand Staircase aboard the world's largest Titanic museum — interactive exhibits, real artifacts, and a self-guided audio tour.
Country Tonite Theatre
Voted #1 country music and comedy show in the Smokies — live band, harmony, and family-friendly comedy. A nightly staple.
Great Smoky Mountains National Park
America's most-visited national park — 800+ miles of trails, Cades Cove wildlife loop, Clingmans Dome sunrise, and the Roaring Fork motor nature trail. Free entry.
The Island at Pigeon Forge
The Great Smoky Mountain Wheel, show fountains, dozens of shops and restaurants, and the Island Trolley. Walkable from several of our condos.
WonderWorks
An upside-down 'amusement park for the mind' — 100+ hands-on science exhibits, laser tag, a ropes challenge course, and hurricane simulator.
Gatlinburg SkyLift Park
A chairlift ride to the top of Crockett Mountain for panoramic Smoky views, a suspension bridge, and the best sunset bench in town.
Cades Cove
An 11-mile loop through a historic valley with some of the best wildlife viewing in the East — black bears, deer, turkey, and wild turkeys at dawn and dusk.
Clingmans Dome
At 6,643 ft, the highest point in the park — a paved half-mile walk to an observation tower with 360° Smoky views. Best at sunrise or sunset.
Rocky Top Mountain Coaster
The longest coaster in Tennessee, weaving 20 acres of Smoky terrain — you control the brakes on a single-rail downhill ride. Day and night runs.
Paula Deen's Lumberjack Feud
High-energy lumberjack competition show with real lumberjacks, audience participation, and a lumberjack-themed dinner show. Fun for all ages.
