Pancakes, hillbilly golf, taffy, air brushed NASCAR shirt.

Rinse and repeat.

Cjeck out Elkmont, TN. I highly recommend it! It's an old logging community that still has the cabins still standing! It's really awesome It's about a 30 minute drive from gatlinburg and is a very beautiful drive! There are several spots you can stop and picnic and/or site see!

Elkmont, TN

Eat at Pancake Pantry as many times as humanly possible.

Go tubing at Ober Gatlinburg

I've never been in the winter...but have been 4 times in the summer and can't wait to go back again. It's a great family vacation depending on where you stay and what you do. Dollywood is a first class amusement park with some great rides and lots of entertaining shows. Tuskaleechee Caverns is fantastic if you haven't been there before. Pancake Pantry for breakfast at least once while in Gatlinburg. And the trails. That's the best thing going. The Alum Cave Bluffs trail is the best....but can be a ballbuster (about 7-8 hours to the top and back, assuming you are in reasonably decent shape...about 11 miles round-trip). The Chimney Tops trail is much shorter (maybe 4 miles roundtrip) but fairly steep and quite a work-out.

Downtown Gatlinburg can be pretty cheesy....but probably worth at least one visit. Don't expect any great dining experiences....but a decent meal can be had.

Have always stayed in some pretty nice cabins. Rented on-line and never disappointed. Timber Tops Cabin Rentals would be my choice again when we return for our next visit.

Go and have fun...and don't pay too much attention to the Gatlinburg haters. It can be a really fun trip.

We usually stay at a cabin at Gatlinburg Falls or downtown at Zoders Inn overlooking the creek. I highly recommend both. I've only been up there in the winter and it's f'n beautiful, IMO. I love it there.

Skied Cataloochee for Thanksgiving. It was fun. Has to be a lot more snow there by now. You can ski Ober. Haven't been there in a while. In Gatlinburg be prepared to eat pancakes, pancakes, and more pancakes. They do have a moon shine distillery and a decent brewery, but take the drive to NC and ski Cataloochee. Inexpensive, and fun.
