Top neighborhoods in Gatlinburg

A panoramic view of downtown Gatlinburg, Tennessee

Downtown Gatlinburg

Downtown Gatlinburg bursts with family-friendly fun at every turn. The neon-lit Parkway buzzes with Ripley's attractions, arcades, and mini-golf courses against a stunning Smoky Mountain backdrop. Stroll between taffy shops and moonshine distilleries while mountain views peek between buildings. SkyLift and Anakeesta offer treetop adventures for those seeking heights and sights. Hotels with mountain-themed décor sit just minutes from the action. Grab pancakes at breakfast houses or sample local BBQ as you explore. The trolley connects major spots during peak seasons, but most visitors prefer discovering the pedestrian-friendly strip on foot.

Most cabins come with full kitchens for cozy home-cooked meals after exploring. Downtown Gatlinburg's restaurants and shops are just a short drive down winding mountain roads. You'll definitely need a car to get around these peaceful, secluded hills where the only sounds are the whispers of the forest.

Chalet Village North
