All roads leading up to the Summit of Gatlinburg are paved, marked, full two lanes (i.e., cars can pass each other without pulling off), and in great condition. The Summit of Gatlinburg Condos are at the top of the mountain, so you do have to drive up the mountain to get there. The roads are curvy, but 4x4 is not necessary to make it to the condo - our front wheel drive minivan easily makes the trip. One route down the mountain takes you to the National Park side of downtown Gatlinburg, or take a different route down to access the Gatlinburg bypass to head to Pigeon Forge (or the other end of the Gatlinburg strip!).

Because it is a tourism destination, Gatlinburg is home to many sightseeing attractions and there is no shortage of things to see and do. Aside from the National Park, Gatlinburg also hosts the only ski resort in Tennessee (Ober Gatlinburg) with three chair lifts and eight trails, which is accessible either by road or by a gondola ride from the city strip. There is also plenty of entertainment available in downtown Gatlinburg, with attractions such as the Hollywood Star Cars Museum, Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum, Hillbilly Golf, Escape Rooms, and Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies.

Refund notices: If you cancel a single night of your trip, be aware that we price nights differently and we'll refund the nightly rate for that specific night, less a 5%, non-refundable VRBO fee that is charged to us as the owner based on the initial booking amount. Note, VRBO also doesn't refund the Traveler/ Guest fee and if they refund the lodging taxes at all, it is up to the traveler to contact VRBO directly for that refund. If you cancel an entire trip based on the cancellation guidelines - potentially all of these fees are refunded. You can then rebook immediately for the shorter stay.
