Between its memorable kitsch, entertainment for all ages, and unique cultural events throughout the year, there really isn’t any place quite like this popular resort town. Tucked into a leafy mountain valley and bordered by Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Gatlinburg welcomes up to 12 million visitors annually, despite having only 4,000 full-time residents. Indeed, there’s more packed into this town than destinations twice its size—and you can experience it all with a comfortable stay in one of our Gatlinburg vacation rentals.
