Great Smoky Mountains · Where to stay
PICK YOUR BASE
Where to sleep in Great Smoky Mountains — the neighborhoods and the picks, siesta side to fiesta side.
LeConte Lodge
Hike-in only, at 2,000m, no electricity, and beds booked by lottery each autumn. The most memorable night in the park.
Dancing Bear Lodge, Townsend
Cabins on the quiet side of the park with an excellent restaurant. Where people who've been before stay.
The Lodge at Buckberry Creek
Adirondack-style suites above Gatlinburg, out of the noise but two minutes from it.

Everly Bryson City
Redone motel on the North Carolina side near the railway depot. Cheap, clean and well-placed for Deep Creek.
