Choose Where to Stay in the Smoky Mountains

The best home base depends on how you want to spend your vacation. Compare these five areas, then explore lodging options that fit your plans.

Gatlinburg

Consider Gatlinburg for downtown attractions, shops, and access to the national park. Some downtown lodging lets you explore on foot, while hillside cabins usually require driving.

Pigeon Forge

Consider Pigeon Forge for Dollywood, dinner shows, and family attractions. Check your lodging's location carefully because activities are spread along the Parkway and surrounding roads.

Sevierville

Consider Sevierville for shopping, attractions, and lodging across town and the surrounding countryside. A Sevierville address can cover a wide area, so compare the actual property location with your itinerary.

Wears Valley

Consider Wears Valley for a quieter cabin setting between Pigeon Forge and Townsend. Plan on driving for most outings, and check individual cabin roads and access before booking.

Townsend

Consider Townsend for a slower-paced stay focused on outdoor recreation. Allow additional travel time if you plan frequent visits to Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg attractions.

Compare the actual location: Check the property's address, road access, and distance from your planned activities. Town names alone don't tell you how convenient a rental will be for your trip.
