Our local guide
We are 1.3 miles from the Parkway, so most of these are under 10 minutes away. Come back to a heated pool and a movie when you are done.
Plan one of these per trip and build the rest around it.
Dollywood ↗
Coasters, Appalachian crafts and live music in the hills. Watch for the fireworks from our upper deck on show nights.
The Island ↗
About 4 minutes away. Rides, the Great Smoky Mountain Wheel, fountain shows, food and shopping in one walkable loop.

Take Wears Valley Road from the cabin for an easy route into the park without Parkway traffic.
For the kids who want to scream and the parents who secretly do too.
