Question Wife and I live in West TN and trying to organize a "spur of the moment" trip to Smokeys for the last week in July. The list of hotels is overwhelming. Can you suggest a conservatively priced hotel (yet still decent!) within walking distance to local attractions?
Thanks.
Answer Thomas:
Happy to try to help.
But need a bit more info.
Please e-mail me at jyares@aol.com.
In which town would you prefer to base, Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge?
Which "local attractions" are on your to-do list?
What $ do you consider "conservatively priced?"
How many of you will there be and what are the ages?
Are you interested in self-catering accomodations? Lots of affordable condo rentals either place.
