Plan a Thanksgiving Trip to Gatlinburg

Taking the number 33 spot on the list, Gatlinburg really is the perfect holiday destination for a Thanksgiving adventure. There is no shortage of things to do and see, and if staying low-key is more your vibe, there's nothing better than a cabin the Smoky Mountains.

Situated on the border of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, this small Southern destination is a picturesque place to celebrate your favorite fall holiday. Hole up in a cozy log cabin or historic bed and breakfast. Burn off that turkey and stuffing by hiking to waterfalls, horseback-riding through wooded trails, or taking the aerial tramway to Ober Gatlinburg. Then cheers to another year of gratitude at one of the area's wineries, breweries, and distilleries. - Country Living

Gatlinburg Offers Something for Everyone

Undoubtedly there is plenty to do in Gatlinburg for every budget, taste, and interest. So forget the big family get-together. Skip the turkey and stuffing and laboring for hours over the stove, and head off to one of the best Thanksgiving towns in the country.
