Hi Everyone,
I see many requests for hotel suggestions on social media, so I thought I would do some research and create a post that can serve as a good starting point for anyone looking for a hotel near Dollywood.
I began by narrowing the choices to Pigeon Forge to make the list more manageable. I excluded Gatlinburg and included only one hotel option in Sevierville, which is very close to Dollywood. Not every single hotel in Pigeon Forge is listed.
I created a column that averages the Google Rating and the Trip Advisor Rating. This column is sorted by the average rating, so you can easily find the best-rated hotels. I also created columns for the most requested features, such as a lazy river, indoor pool, hot tubs, balcony, fireplace, Trolley Stop, pet friendly, etc. There are also four columns of notes where I have added some info that you might find helpful, and in some cases firsthand reviews that I have seen on social media. There is a column that indicates the distance of each property from Dollywood, if that's important to you. Please though, if your child or child-at-heart are dead set on having a lazy river, as one example, please make sure to follow up with the property to make sure that the lazy river is operational and will be operational during your stay.
Unfortunately, due to the limitations of Google Blogger with creating tables and spreadsheets, it is not feasible to upload the table to this blog post and call it day. Instead, I've created a view-only link to my google spreadsheet. From there, you can sort or filter the columns and results any way you like. Want the places with indoor pools? Sort it that way. Closest to Dollywood? Sort it that way too. Pet Friendly - same idea. You can even download my spreadsheet and make it your own!
I did not include pricing information due to fluctuations with the seasons and even during the season the prices can vary, so that will be one additional step for you in your research.
If you're undecided on a timeframe to visit Pigeon Forge, this article from US News offers a lot of considerations you may want think about - read that here..
Before researching for this post, I had not given much thought to the difference between what a Whirlpool and a Jacuzzi is, but there is a difference. It seems that Whirlpools are not as common as Jacuzzi's are in this area, but people use both words to describe them...and sometimes they say hot tub too, to make it more confusing. I've done my best to differentiate all three in my spreadsheet.
If you would like me to add your firsthand experience about a property, I would be glad to do so. Just email me at whatsupatdollywood@gmail.com. Likewise, if you see any information that is incorrect, email me that too.
