Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most visited in the country for good reason. With so many outdoor activities and beautiful scenery, it is the perfect place for memorable family photos.
Our Smoky Mountain Resort is in a peaceful but central part of downtown Gatlinburg. Hiking trails are just minutes away, and the shopping strip is close for a quick meal. Kids can play at Splash Hollow, our indoor waterpark, or you can explore nature trails, Pigeon Forge, or Dollywood nearby. You will leave with plenty of photos and great memories.
