search you dummies!!!
But seriously, Gatlinburg has a pretty cool aquarium and Pigeon Forge has some cool wineries and good places to eat. Make sure you do breakfast at Pancake Pantry and definitely check out the apple barn. As far as hiking and going into the mountains i can't give any insight. I would highly recommend getting a cabin with a hot tub, and get some wine and just chill/relax and enjoy the views
