Gatlinburg and the park

Three hotels, one park. Dollywood is only on the deluxe plan.

Mornings

Cades Cove and Clingmans Dome work when you go early and when the road is open. We do not pretend a closed winter road is a drive.

The towns

Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge are the beds. The park is the day.

Questions people ask

When is it crowded?

October weekends and July. September is the month we would book if the leaves can wait.
