Holiday Inn Club Vacations Smoky Mountain Resort

Nestled at the Foot of the Smokies

There’s a reason Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most visited in the country. Along with tons of outdoor activities, it’s the perfect backdrop for a family photo to grace your holiday card. (And not to mention a whole lot of “likes” when you post it.) The only question is where to stay.

Our Smoky Mountain Resort has a quiet yet convenient downtown Gatlinburg location. You won’t go far to take a hike in the park or to grab a tasty burger on the shopping strip. Then let the kids loose in our Splash Hollow indoor waterpark area or venture out to nature trails, Pigeon Forge or Dollywood®. Your family photo album will be full in no time.
