Overview
The Holiday Inn Club Vacations Smoky Mountain Resort is in the world-famous Gatlinburg area of Tennessee and places travelers just steps from one of the entrances into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. However, Gatlinburg is also home to a seemingly endless list of attractions, entertainment, restaurants and shops. From the resort, you are less than a mile from the Gatlinburg Space Needle, the Sugarlands Distilling Co., Ripley’s Aquarium, and more. In less than half of an hour’s time you can visit Dollywood, the Old Mill, the Gatlinburg Ski Lift and so much more. It is roughly 30 miles from the closest airport, the McGhee Tyson Airport, as well.
Yet, the resort is also meant to be a destination on its own and features a long list of activities, amenities and services. There are kids' playgrounds indoors and out, a large indoor pool complex as well as the outdoor pool area, a game and billiards room, a full fitness center, trails and picnic/BBQ areas all over the grounds, pet-friendly policies, and free shuttles and parking.
The accommodations include one to three bedroom villas that are like miniature, private homes. Each is furnished with a full kitchen, a separate dining area, a living room with entertainment system, a patio or terrace, laundry facilities, WiFi and high-speed internet, and large bathrooms (many with spa tubs).
Just minutes from the natural beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park or the fun and excitement to be found in Gatlinburg or nearby Pigeon Forge, the Holiday Inn Club Vacations Smoky Mountain Resort is a wonderful choice for couples, families and groups.
