In the foothills of the Smoky Mountains lies Laurel Crest, a cozy country haven less than a mile from the action of Pigeon Forge, but far enough away to offer rest and relaxation. The surrounding mountains, forest and beautifully landscaped grounds reconnect you with nature and provide a wonderful respite from the outside world. Accommodations range from cozy hotel rooms to 1-bedroom standard and deluxe suites with washer and dryer, plus larger 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom townhomes with features including full kitchens and baths, master suites, separate living and dining areas, fireplaces and more. Of course, The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the biggest attraction here, home to 900 miles of hiking trails, trout fishing, wildlife encounters and breathtaking views from Clingman's Dome. Pick a trail and enjoy a family hike or horseback riding exploration through this scenic park. Nearby Pigeon Forge is synonymous with family fun, offering attractions from go-karts and bumper boats to musicals and magic shows, all just a trolley ride away from the resort. Back at the resort, enjoy a swim year-round in the indoor pool or work up a seat in the fitness center and sauna. Enjoy mountain views from the outdoor hot tubs, and keep an eye out for local wildlife including wild turkey and black bear from the from the wraparound clubhouse deck. You can do the same from the comfort of your vacation suite. If you’d like suggestions about which area attractions to see, our resort staff offers a vacation planning hour held every Monday. To enhance your vacation enjoyment, it is suggested to leave your car and take advantage of the trolley to explore the area.
