Enjoy your stay in Gatlinburg

A small mountain town nearly surrounded by Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Gatlinburg presents old-time Appalachian heritage, outdoor action, and manmade fun. You can find traditional crafts, including pottery, quilting, basket weaving, and broom making, and take a sip of some genuine Tennessee moonshine (minus the illicit thrill but with all the legitimate kick). Enjoy the mountain setting from a Gatlinburg hotel, catch the scenic views from the Space Needle, ride the Aerial Tram to Ober Gatlinburg, or immerse yourself in the mountains on the miles of hiking trails in the park. Back in town, amuse yourself at Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies and the Hollywood Star Cars Museum. You can also visit nearby Pigeon Forge, home to Dollywood's thrilling roller coasters and Southern song stylings.
