Great Smoky national Park
its a bit far from there, not sure if it will suit your needs, but definitely some nice options there.

Thanks for the recommendation. We ended up hiking to Grotto Falls because it was easier for my 4 year old.

Holiday Inn Express Downtown Gatlinburg was really great. They have a nice water park with 3 slides, a ton of kosher stuff at breakfast (oatmeal, bread, bagels, waffles, cereal, yogurt). The family room (6 people) was very spacious even with the couch pulled out and had two sinks, one inside the bathroom and one outside, a microwave and a decent size fridge.

Anyone interested in a TR? If not, I won't bother.

I have experience. There are thousands depending on the location, size, and amenities.

Any Suggestions on location?
