We had a great time at the Westgate Smokey Mountain Resort. This was a really nice place to base a Gatlinburg / Smokey Mountain National Park trip. Our kids (6 and 11) enjoyed the pools and activities at the resort. The resort is very close to Gatlinburg, but allows you tro get away from the craziness. Having a full kitchen was huge in making the entire trip more affordable. Construction / rebuilding was ongoing, but the workers were polite and courteous and it was no big deal. Would definitely stay again.
