Sevierville, Tenn.

Sevierville, Tennessee serves as a gateway to the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It’s less crowded than Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg which can be nice for those looking for a way to be close to the action without being in the action every day. We also love Sevierville’s serene non-touristy downtown scene. As the hometown of Dolly Parton and next door to one of the largest Buc-ee’s in the United States, Sevierville boasts diverse attractions, from the adventure park at Foxfire Mountain to the serene Douglas Lake. Bargain hunters can explore Tanger Outlets, the largest shopping center in town. And foodies can partake in the bustling dining scene.

Benefits: Less Traffic, Affordable Lodging, Peaceful Downtown Area

Drawbacks: Further from GSMNP & Dollywood

Our Insider Tips:

  • Must-see attractions include Apple Barn, Skyland Ranch, Soaky Mountain.
  • Must-eat restaurants include The Appalachian, Bustin’ Butts, Five Oaks.
  • See the Dolly Parton statue in downtown Sevierville.
  • Always get dining reservations (if available) & call ahead to confirm hours.
  • Check for area coupons here.
  • Save on attraction tickets by bundling and booking online.

10 Best Things To Do in Sevierville

Our staff at TheSmokies.com had a long list of photos we needed of new attractions and new restaurants around the Smokies, so we split up. I took Sevierville, and the rest of my team headed to Gatlinburg. As they looked for parking and fought the crowds of downtown Gatlinburg, I was walking around a nearly deserted downtown Sevierville. And it made me realize that guests who visit the Great Smoky Mountain National Park may be overlooking this area.

13 Best Restaurants in Sevierville

Sevierville is closer to Pigeon Forge, near the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains. It’s right at the border of Pigeon Forge and about 30-40 minutes from Gatlinburg. Years ago, Sevierville siphoned off the best of the county’s shopping – particularly the outlet businesses that had helped make Pigeon Forge strong. Now, another movement is well underway. In particular, Sevierville is THE place to go in the county for foodies.
