If you have not yet visited our beautiful area, then by all means, make plans to do so. Let me tell you more about the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee.
Our area is comprised of three small towns with loads of diverse entertainment and activities. Gatlinburg is the gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park……….the most visited national park in the country with about 10 million visitors per year. MORE ON THE PARK LATER. Gatlinburg sits at the Sugarlands entrance to the park and for years has been a tourist destination. Once a sleepy little mountain town with mountain arts and crafts, a ski resort, an ariel tram, shops, mom & pop restaurants, and wedding chapels everywhere.. this beautiful little mountain town has grown into more active and robust tourist stop that still maintains it’s mountain grace and splendor. One of the biggest attractions is Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies. To learn more about Gatlinburg visit http://www.gatlinburg.com. This is a link to the Chamber of Commerce.
Next is Pigeon Forge. WOW. What can you say about this place. It has grown and grown over the last 20 years and is now a major shopping destination and boast loads of attraction including Dollywood, Dixie Stampede, Wonder Works, just to name a few. There are theaters, restuarants galore, amusement parks, shopping malls, outdoor activities, rafting, hiking, horseback riding and the list goes on an on.

Last but certainly not least is Sevierville. The county seat of Sevier County is also now becoming a popular tourist stop. The most recent addition to our line up of attractions is Wilderness of the Smokies. Located adjacent to the city golf complex, Wilderness claim to fame is a huge indoor water park with a wave pool, surfing pool and several water slides. With 400 condo units, eateries and shops, Wilderness is pretty much a self contained experience.
Great Smoky Mountain National Park:
The park is the reason we are where we are in Sevier County. The mountain are what originally drew people to the area and to this day is remains a popular stop on a visit to the area. With hundreds of miles of hiking trails, streams, waterfalls, campgrounds, fishing, and backcountry camping, you can spend days in the park and never see the same territory twice. If a slower pace and enjoyment of God’s gift to us is more what you have in mind, them by all means plan a visit.
About Ron:
I am a real estate agent in Sevier County. I have lived here for 28 years and raised my 3 kids here. Before coming to Sevierville, I lived in various other areas of the souteast, but I must say that this is where I plan on staying. We have great schools, low crime rate, low low tax rates, and all the advantages of living in a tourist area and the perks that brings along with being only 3o minutes to Knoxville…………….home of the University of Tennessee.
STILL COUNTING ON A BRIGHT FUTURE.
I WILL BE BACK SOON.
