Kimmy, that is what Rick and I did for our honeymoon! It was great!!
We stayed in Sevierville, just north of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.
We went to Dollywood when we were there; they have a HUGE enclosure of Bald Eagles that can't be released back into the wild.
Sevierville is FILLED with stuff. It's almost like looking down the Las Vegas strip! Restaurants, stores, shops, putt-putt, golf cart tracks, etc... all packed on top of each other. You had to drive everywhere.
We were leaving a 50's a resterant one night and found a kitty hanging around the dumpster, so I gave her my leftovers I was going to take back to the cabin with me!
We spent a few days in Gatlinburg and I liked Gatlinburg better!
I think I liked it better because it was smaller, and you could park your car and walk everywhere. We took a cable car to the top of a mountain there. Then up on top of the mountain was a place that had captive bears on display. It was sad, and I started crying so we had to leave.
There is a Hard Rock Cafe in Gatlinburg, Ripley’s Believe it or not museum, a huge Aquarium. (I think it was part of the Ripley’s Museum) it was GREAT!!
There is a good Mexican restaurant called No Way Jose also.
I can't tell you how great Gatlinburg was! I can't wait to go back!!
