we went this past winter and it was a blast, don't know that we could spend a week there, but we did 2 nights 3 days and we could have probably done another night. we did the winery tour which was actually pretty cool and it was free. the main strip in pigeon forge is a sight to see, reminds me of a family oriented Vegas in the mountains. we went to the titanic show and got in for free, i wouldn't have gone if i had to pay. I wish we had gone to the Hatfield and McCoy dinner show as that sounded like fun. I will say make sure your car is up to date on all maintenance and that you have good tranny fluid. those hills that lead up to some of the cabins are STEEP!
All in all i would say its a good place to go, very family oriented and its cabins are priced about the same as hocking hills.
Things to do on the way down.... Jack Daniels, Makers Mark, Wild Turkey, really anything on the bourbon trail :gabe:
