SMOKY MOUNTAIN HOSPITALITY OPERATIONS
HOMETOWN STORIES / TENNESSEE
Dolly Parton’s hometown, a historic courthouse square, and time to browse. Sevierville brings a different rhythm to a Smoky Mountain stay.

THE SHORTLIST
Four starting points. Choose the ones that sound like your vacation.
01 / START AT THE SQUARE
Follow Sevierville’s historic walking tour through the courthouse area. Give yourself time to look around, browse, and stop for a meal instead of treating downtown as a quick drive-through.
02 / A HOMETOWN LANDMARK
The bronze statue stands on the Sevier County Courthouse lawn. Include it in your downtown walk and take time to explore the surrounding streets.
03 / MAKE ROOM IN YOUR PLANS
Tanger Outlets Sevierville is a separate destination from historic downtown. Choose your stores before you go, then make shopping its own relaxed part of the day.
04 / A CHANGE OF PACE
Consider a lake outing on another day. Our Douglas Lake guide helps you think through access, facilities, and the activity you want before heading out.
A SMARTSTAY SUGGESTION
Sevierville can be part of a vacation that mixes town time with the wider Smokies. Choose one outdoor day alongside downtown or shopping, using your cabin’s actual location to plan the route.
MAKE IT YOURS
01
A SLOW START
Use the official walking-tour route and include the Dolly Parton statue on the courthouse lawn.
02
TIME TO LINGER
Choose a meal around your downtown plans. Let the afternoon follow your group’s interests.
03
YOUR AFTERNOON
Head to Tanger if shopping is on your list, or return to the cabin. Give a lake outing its own day.
