Gatlinburg’s sprawling 644-unit AAA Three Diamond resort right off the Parkway features a diverse mix of lodgings, including cabin-style duplexes and one- and two-bedroom condos, making it a great spot for families and groups. Many of the Westgate Smoky Mountain Resort & Water Park’s units have both fireplaces and whirlpool tubs.

And the best part? Nature trails lead directly from the property into Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The on-site Serenity Spa by Westgate offers a full menu of facials and massages, as well as a fitness center, and there’s a heated indoor water park, Wild Bear Falls, that’s open year-round.

AAA Inspector Notes: “The resort features cabin-style duplexes, plus one- and two-bedroom condos that can be expanded to even larger units via connecting room doors. All rooms have LCD TVs. Many units have fireplaces and whirlpool tubs. Be sure to visit the new infinity pool!”
