Experience Gatlinburg "Foxtrot" Style

Take the time to explore Gatlinburg. Nature-lovers might spend a day at Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies, and theater-goers can enjoy a musical comedy at the Sweet Fanny Adams Theatre. If you're interested in panoramic views, take a ride up the Space Needle in town or the Sky Lift up Crockett Mountain. Go wine tasting at the Smoky Mountain Winery, or visit the several museums, including the Guinness World Records Museum and the Hollywood Wax Museum.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park       

Gatlinburg is your gateway to the Smokies. Eight hundred miles of maintained trails, historic log cabins, and old-growth forests await you in the 800-square-mile Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Climb Mount Le Conte, the namesake of one of our Leconte Sunrise Suite, to earn spectacular views of the Southern Appalachian Mountains from the park's third-highest mountain. Visit during autumn to experience the magnificent fall colors.

Great Smoky Arts and Crafts Community

Wander down the eight-mile Great Smoky Arts and Crafts Community loop to meet local artisans in their shops, studios, and galleries. The trail has been designated a Tennessee Heritage Arts & Crafts Trail and lets you connect with Gatlinburg-area weavers, carvers, potters, candy-makers, jewelers, and other artisans.
