I'm going to Gatlinburg this summer,any suggestions on what to do?

Answer 1

Gatlinburg is great! I love to walk around up there.   I feel lucky to live so close.  There are so many things to do. Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Sevierville are right together.

You can even go over the mountain to Cherokee NC.  Its only about an hour through the smokies.

It has some great shopping and Indian village.

Answer 2

I got married in Gatlinburg - it's beautiful and peaceful there.  

- Rent a cabin with a pretty view and relax.  

- There are some great hiking trails in the Great Smoky National Park.  

- Pigeon Forge (next town over) has some decent outlets and tons of family activities (go-carts, laser tag, etc.)

- They have a lot of family-oriented dinner shows (i.e. Dixie Stampede).  They are somewhat commercial, but kids love it.

- Elope!  You can get a marriage license and get married in the same day.
