Eight years ago I married a woman (2nd marriage for both of us) whose daughter and grandson live in Jefferson City, TN right outside of Sevierville. We visit twice a year and feel the same way about Gatlinburg and the Smokey Mountains in general. I got so familiar with the area and the alternate routes into Gatlinburg that I feel more like a local. And I agree, stay away from the national chains.

Thanks for your thoughts! I appreciate it!
Great writing. I agree with all of these sentiments and could not have said it better. Thanks!
