Welcome to Pigeon Forge:

If you just can’t get enough crisp mountain air, where better to breathe it in than Pigeon Forge? Whether you plan a humble or epic trek around the more than 900 miles of nature trails in Great Smoky Mountain National Park, The Day Hiker Shop will prepare you for any hike you’re ready to tackle. Don’t let these names fool you; Smoky Mountain Outdoors and Smokies Angling Adventures offer some of the most popular outdoor activities for your vacation like whitewater rafting and fishing. These two longstanding companies have been serving locals and visitors alike for a very long time.

You’ll find plenty of things to do in Pigeon Forge. Two spots you just won’t want to miss are Chimney Tops and Clingmans Dome, as both offer breathtaking views of five states! Nearby Gatlinburg is a major ski town in the winter. Rain or shine, you can enjoy a round of indoor golf year-round at Treasure Quest Golf.

Life in the shadow of the Smokies:

Laurel Crest resort offers a breathtaking mountain backdrop with lush, perfectly manicured landscaping that will surely remind you of how pure and pristine the Smokies really are. From the moment you arrive at the main clubhouse and stroll the wraparound deck, you’ll realize how restful and relaxing your great outdoors vacation will be. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most-visited park in the country, and Pigeon Forge, less than a mile from Laurel Crest, is one of the most popular vacation destinations in the country. With so much to do both in and out of town, your next vacation to Pigeon Forge is sure to be memorable.

In the foothills of the Smoky Mountains lies Laurel Crest, a cozy country haven less than a mile from the action of Pigeon Forge, but far enough away to offer rest and relaxation. You will feel ensconced by nature with the mountainous backdrop and beautifully landscaped grounds.

Take in snow-capped mountain views from one of the two outdoor hot tubs or grab the binoculars for some bird watching from the wraparound clubhouse deck. You can do the same from the comfort of your vacation home, as each vacation home has its own whirlpool tub and balcony terrace.

If you prefer to stay on site instead of going into town, there are numerous activities for kids year-round, from pool parties in the summer to theme parties for the holidays. While the kids are keeping busy at the playground or in the game room, you can bury yourself in a book in the reading lounge, swim some laps in the indoor pool or work up a sweat in the fitness center and sauna.

If you’re at a loss to sort out where to go and what to do, our resort staff will help you with a vacation planning hour held every Monday. One popular suggestion: leave your car and explore the area by trolley.

Onsite amenities:

Laurel Crest features seasonal activities—from pool parties in the summer to holiday parties, plus numerous activities for the kids. Stretch out in the fitness room or sauna and take a dip in the indoor pool. When you’re nice and relaxed, the surrounding area is waiting. Not sure what to do or where to begin your vacation? Our resort hospitality team will be happy to point you toward attractions your family will love.
