The Great Smoky Arts & Crafts Community (also known as the Gatlinburg Community) has been known to have the largest concentration of artisans and craftspeople in North America since 1941. Here crafters create one-of-a-kind baskets, candles, paintings, quilts, jewelry, and ceramics, amongst other things. Visitors are encouraged to check out the Gatlinburg Art Tour, a trail where you can encounter artisans that create collectables and folk art.
The Great Smoky Mountains also offer a variety of theater, music, and comedy shows all in close proximity to your cabin rental. Check out Pigeon Forge, a mountain resort with a range of country music and southern cultural attractions, including musical dinner shows and Dollywood, a theme park owned by iconic singer Dolly Parton.
