Outdoor Water Park

If your family is anything like mine, adults and kids enjoy all the fun in the sun while working on a tan or cooling off in the pool. This outdoor attraction is minutes from TN Cozy Country Condo in Sevierville.

Outdoor Adventures

Just a small representation of all the great outdoor activities that are available in this area. I haven't been to all of them so please feel free to go to other sites/businesses that friends or family may have suggested from their own experiences. Nothing speaks louder than word of mouth recommendations.

Are you and your guests the outdoorsy type or in the mood for a new adventure/experience? Our family (including my 70 yr old mother-in-law) experienced this on one of our many trips to the Great Smoky Mountain area and had a blast. The kids still talk about it. A good time and great memories.

My family loved our trip to Dollywood. They tricked me into riding a roller coaster with a loop in it (not a fan of looping coasters) and I white knuckled it through the whole experience. My husband even bought the picture from our ride with them smiling and me looking like I was facing death in the eyes! Can anyone relate? Fortunately, there were plenty of other rides to enjoy and of course, great fair food.

Food Scene

I wish I could post all of the tasty restaurants that we've eaten at over the years. My family's personal favorite is The Old Mill's Pottery House Cafe in Pigeon Forge. Are you concerned about dining in due to the spread of Covid? Many of the restaurants offer carry out or curb-side service.
Who has an inner swashbuckler just waiting to come out? Food and entertainment. What's not to love?

Did mother nature rain on your parade while staying in TN? This is a great place to enjoy indoor fun whether it rains or the sun shines. Great family activity in downtown Gatlinburg.

Distilleries/Wineries

There are several wineries and moonshine distillery stores in this area. Some even offer free samples! We seem to go to the Ole Smoky Moonshine store in downtown Gatlinburg every time we stay at the condo. For a small price, they offer samples of several of their flavored or special batch moonshine whiskeys. Have you ever had their cherries, peaches, okra or pickles? Kentucky's bourbon trail has nothing on Tennessee moonshine. Come on and try something new. Just remember to drink responsibly and have a designated driver.
Tennessee is known for its moonshine. There are several locations in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge that you can visit to enjoy, sample and purchase Ole Smoky Moonshine products.

Trolley

We've used the trolley in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge to get around during some of our visits over the years. On the first day we got to the area, we took the trolleys to scope out all the stores and sights we wanted to consider going to. Saved our feet from blisters and our energy so we could enjoy ourselves during our stay. Parking in Gatlinburg during high season can be expensive and a challenge.
See the sights in and around Gatlinburg aboard a trolley which you can catch at more than 100 locations. Sevierville and Pigeon Forge also have trolleys for an easy way to get around town. Many of the local attractions in this area on directly on the Parkway.
