Gatlinburg, Tenn., is known as the "gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains."

As a popular tourist destination, the city has a lot to offer a buyer looking for either a vacation property or a new home.

Gatlinburg got its nickname because it borders Great Smoky Mountains National Park, offering residents and visitors access to scenic waterfalls and mountain views, plus hiking on the Appalachian Trail and other trails. 

The city is also home to attractions like amusement parks, miniature golf courses, unusual museums and a ski resort. And Dolly Parton’s Dollywood theme park is just up the road in Pigeon Forge.
