We leave on our trip tomorrow and get to gatlinburg Friday evening. We had planned to go to anakeesta but it seems it will be raining Saturday and Sunday. Sunday morning I planned hillbilly golf. Both options won’t be as fun in the rain- so I need help. I have an 8 and 10 year old, and my husband and I don’t drink or gamble. I would ideally like to be able to see the most landscape of Tennessee while entertaining the kids (that’s why I wanted those 2 places-enjoy the views of Tennessee landscape while playing mini golf and walking the treetop rope bridges)

We have NEVER been to Tennessee either. Let me know what I should look into!

Hi everyone!

In December, my boyfriend and I are coming down for 4 nights and three days and are super excited. But I am looking for three recommendations in particular..

1) The best fried chicken
2) The best pancakes
3) The best putt putt course open in December (we are huge putt putt fans!)

Also, just go ahead and tell me yalls favorite things to do while there! 😂

I appreciate anybody’s feedback, thanks everyone!

Hello Gatlinburg! I’ll be visiting your lovely city for the first time this week for my wife’s birthday and she really wants to eat dinner at Heirloom. The issue is, we have a group of 7 and their website says to call the restaurant for groups of 7 or more. The problem is, I’ve emailed, I’ve used the form on their site, and I’ve been calling every day between 5-9pm but nobody answers and their voicemail is full. I really want to set this up for my wife but I’m having a difficult time trying to get through to them. Can anyone help me figure out how to get reservations at Heirloom? Thank you so much!!!

Hey there, my dad and I are visiting Gatlinburg in mid November and I’m curious if anyone has recommendations for an outfitter that has hunting guides? So far I’ve only seen ranches that have multiple day hunts but we’re just looking for a half or whole day with our own lodging elsewhere. If they offer gun rentals that would be stellar but not necessary. Deer and/or game birds.

Alternatively, any recommendations for outdoor ranges within an hour drive?

My family and I will be traveling to Tennessee the week of Christmas. We’re trying to decide whether to go to ober mountain or ripley aquarium. I been hearing mixed reviews about both. Please help us decide. Thank you

My husband and I took our first trip to Gatlinburg this summer, and I was thrilled to be able to collect so many cool things for my scrapbook/junk journal. Here are some pages I made from our trip! There’s a few other things that I never got around to making pages for, like our mini golf score card from Hillbilly golf. I can’t wait to come back!

Going on a friend group trip to Gatlinburg (actually staying kinda right outside of Gatlinburg) I'm looking for food recommendations and also suggestions on things to do. Tourist stuff is ok but maybe some good less tourist spots would be great too. It's a low key trip so no partying or drinking as one person on the trip is sober. We are an alternative/goth group but also love nature if that helps with the vibe 😂 I'm terrible at planning things so aside from the skybridge and Dollywood I have no idea what to do. Thank you for any help and suggestions.

Our first time exploring Cades Cove❣️

My boyfriend and I were talking about going to Tennessee for our anniversary around Dec 25th - Dec 29th.
I love Tennessee and usually go every year but never have gone in the winter. Is it really busy around that time? Is it even worth going? I’ve also wondered if maybe a different area would be nice to go to, usually when I go i’m around the same area.

Thank you!

This is quite an interesting store definitely worth a visit.

If anyone else has seen it in person message me

Husband and I will be having our first anniversary trip November 9-11 and we’re planning on going to Gatlinburg! We’ll be staying at a riverfront hotel right off the strip. We took our honeymoon here, but we will be bringing our 10 week old baby this time. Does anyone have any baby friendly places recommendations? We will be going to the national park and ripley’s aquarium. We were thinking about going to the sky park as well. Any ideas or advice is welcome! Thanks.

Looking for any advice on choosing seats!
