The different options that are available for lodging at the Mountain Loft Resorts make this a great choice when traveling with family or large groups. Some of the property rentals can hold up to twelve people. There are a lot of older units, and some brand new units - but each of them are nice and will provide you with the perfect backdrop for your Gatlinburg trip by offering every amenity of home. Full kitchens, multiple bathrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, porches or balconies - you can find a number of amenities depending on whether it is a house or a condo.

There are three pools, tennis court, basketball court and hiking trails everywhere. The club house has scheduled activities for all age groups each day, and Mount Loft Resorts provides a great place for the kids to be entertained for a few hours; you're not as likely to hear the classic "I'm bored" mantra.

The close proximity to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge is an added bonus. Any time of year there are many activities and attractions available in both towns. In Gatlinburg there is the Ripley's Aquarium and the Ripley's Believe it Or Not Museum and the Guinness Book of World Records Museum both museums house and amazing number to artifacts. There are shops and restaurants throughout each town. Pigeon Forge is home to Dollywood Amusement Park and Dollywood Water Park as well as the Dolly Parton Dixie Stampede Dinner Show.

The Great Smokey Mountain National Park offers guided tours for the naturalist, and backpacking tours, horseback riding and white water rafting trips through the park can be arranged with one of the vendors in Pigeon Forge.

Both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge host festivals and seasonal activities throughout the year. These towns offer all the advantages of any metropolitan area, except they are tucked away nicely into the mountains and have that warm southern hospitality of a charming little town.
