Gatlinburg Landing is located close approximately 20 minutes east of Gatlinburg, TN. A short drive to Gatlinburg will get you to all of the major attractions the town has to offer.

Gatlinburg offers a wide variety of wineries and distilleries right along the main strip. Below is a sampling of the different options available.

Pigeon Forge offers a variety of activities for any interest. Pigeon Forge is about 30 minutes away from Gatlinburg Landing.

While there is no “walkable strip” in Pigeon Forge like there is in downtown Gatlinburg, there are still plenty of places to try fermented beverages.

There is no shortage of restaurants and snack options in Gatlinburg. We have visited a few of these but generally prepare our own meals at the condo to save considerable cost on our trip. But you can’t pass up a good snack of Sugar Baby or The Crazy Mason while visiting the area!
