Nearby Destinations: The Chimneys, Newfound Gap, Mt. LeConte, and Clingman's Dome

The Chalet Village Resort area is located in the beautiful mountains above Gatlinburg.

As an added perk, guests staying at these Gatlinburg resort cabins can also easily access the Sugarlands entrance to the national park.

From here, you can stop by the Visitor's Center for maps and information before you set out on your day of adventure. This part of the park is famous for the Newfound Gap Road that winds its way high into the mountains. Along the way, you'll see beautiful views and trailheads for great hiking trails like Alum Cave, The Chimney Tops, and the Appalachian Trail.

This national park entrance is the way to reach some of the highest elevation points on the park like Newfound Gap and Clingman's Dome where you'll find some of the most jaw-dropping views in the Smokies. Visitors can also access Elkmont, Tremont, and Cades Cove by taking the Little River Road. On their way, you can find popular hiking trails like Laurel Falls and Little Greenbier.

Nearby Destinations: Ramsey Cascades and Historic Cabins

These lovely cabins are located in the Glades Road area just off of the East Parkway in Gatlinburg. Not only are cabins in the Glades close to the famous Gatlinburg Arts and Crafts Loop, but they also provide quick access to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park!

The closest park entrance is the Greenbrier area where visitors can enjoy a beautiful mountain river, a picnic area, and several popular hiking trails. Better yet, this part of the park is off the beaten path, so you can truly enjoy peace and seclusion when you visit the mountains.

At the same time, Glades Road cabins are only a few miles from Downtown Gatlinburg that's also home to two other gateways to the national park: The Roaring Fork Motor Trail and the Sugarlands Entrance.
