My family lived in Knoxville Tennessee for many years, working a greenhouse business, and spent many delightful days in the Gatlinburg area. Unless you just have to be in Gatlinburg, have you thought of staying in pigeon forge, or even over in the quieter area of Townsend, or near there. It is less expensive, and right at Townsend there are some lovely rental "cabins", most with hot tubs, and plenty of sleeping area. Townsend is a great area to go after a busy and noisy day in the Gatlinburg area, and it is so much easier to fall asleep away from the noise of cars, and horns, etc. Well into the night. It is a short distance, and well worth it. Hope this is a help.

My sisters, brother and I get together every April for a weekend Reunion. We rent a vacation home and have found some beautiful homes and gorgeous scenery! Here is a link to the site we use:
They offer homes all over the country and most have pictures so you can get an idea of what it looks like. They have homes with 1 bedroom up to accommodating a large crowd. Enjoy your vacation! :>)
