This sounds just like the type of place we are looking for. I will definately check it out. If you have any other tidbits like restuarants and sights we need to visit I would love to know.
Thanks!
It's beautiful up there. We've stayed in nicer cabins that were closer to town, but a lot more expensive and you still have to drive. Parking is a premium in town. But parking is free at the trolly place and I think it's 50 cents to ride the trolly. The cabins on the mountain are very secluded, the ones in the valley are pretty close together, but I think there are only 6 cabins total.
As far as sights, we like to go to Ober Gatlinburg, you can ride the ski lift from town up to Ober Gatlinburg. They have an awesome Alpine Slide that is fun, as well as other things too. We also always go to Clingman's Dome. It's the highest point east of the Rockies, I think. It's a nice paved walk up to the look out tower, or you can take the nature trail (rougher walk). The views from there, especially in the fall, are simply amazing.
We usually have to eat at the Smoky Mountain Brewery, right across from the downtown entrance to Ober Gatlinburg. My DH is a fan of their trout. Other than that, most places are typical tourist type places (Hard Rock, Applebee's, etc.) Although they say Pigeon Forge is only 6 miles away, be aware that it can take 2 hours to go that 6 miles, trust me on that one!!
Hope I've helped, and hope you have a great trip!
