re: Best hotel in Pigeon Forge?

Thanks for starting this thread. I am planning to take the family up there next Thanksgiving so I'm interested on the suggestions on places to stay.
I'm kind of torn about staying in the Forge or even Gatlinburge vs staying out a ways in a cabin. Kind of leaning towards staying in town so we can just walk to the restaurants and cheesy entertainment and make the drive to the woods when we want to do that.

I went this summer with a lot of family (30+ people). Staying in Pigeon Forge has pros and cons. You get to be around a lot of the stuff for kids and all the cheesy entertainment and chain restaurants, but all of the scenic things are a little bit of a drive. Looking back we would have much rather stayed closer to Gatlinburg and made the hour drive to Dollywood. Most of our kids are under 5 years old, so we didn't do a ton of "kid things" like the small amusement parks and that stuff. Our cabin was in the middle of a neighborhood of cabins so that really killed the experience of being in the mountains. Also, anytime we needed to drive somewhere, there was a minimum of 20 minutes of sitting in traffic.
Growing up my family went to the smokies a lot so I've had some really great experiences. This was our first time staying in Pigeon Forge and it was disappointing.

You are defeating the whole purpose of the trip. Get groceries and cook at home. At night, put on football or a movie for the kids. Drink and relax with the wife.
Your entertainment is the Smoky Mountains and the spectacular views.
