Expensive But Worth It:
Dollywood! Not an inexpensive place, but for all that there is to see and to do, it is well worth the money!
Seasonal Information:
They have a special Christmas celebration at Dollywood, too. I recommend that you check that out, too!

Motel 6! Inexpensive, clean and comfortable, just like they advertise!

Here are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community.
I am looking for information on towns/cities in southern Tennessee or northern GA. I am thinking of moving into one of those two areas when I retire. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
There's a website filled with information on virtually any state. the web site is City-Data.com.
well i live in bluff city,tn. a really small town just out side of bristol tn. the people are very nice and friendly,good neighbors. i live in the country at the foot of mt. holston mountain. i was born and raised right where i live in the same spot all my life would never ever think of leaving. it is beautiful, low to no crime where i live. i am just 20 minutes from all the tri-cities, johnson city,kingsport and bristol. great schools. you know bristol is the birthplace of country music. if you havent guessed i suggest you move here . you will love it.
All I can suggest is to check out the tax base. I've heard of people moving to an area where the housing was reasonable, but when tax time came, they wished they'd never moved there. Of course, by then, it's too late.
Cleveland, TN is great place to live. We have both mountains and rivers within an easy drive. Beautiful green grass, trees, and pastures.
We are between Knoxville and Chattanooga, also near the Smoky Mountains.
We moved from Maryland to Hixson, TN in 2004 and have never regretted the move. Hixson is on the north end of Chattanooga, in Hamilton county and the taxes are a bit less in the county. The people are wonderful. It took us no time to blend into the community. My husband and I are retired in our early 60's. He is active in the Red Cross and really enjoys the organization.
Sorry I goofed, Nashville is to the northwest of Chattanooga.
Check out these photos.
For our 59th wedding anniversary, we went to Townsend, Tennessee and stayed at Townsend Gateway Inn. This motel is vintage style with 2 rocking chairs sitting in front of each room.
I travel to the beautiful Smokies at least twice a year. This was taken early one morning on Hwy. 441 between Cherokee, NC and Pigeon Forge, TN. Pictures do not do this justice.
Captured this photo of a old barn in Morristown, TN while riding in the car.
It is so beautiful after a shower here in Tennessee. I wanted to share it with you.
When it begins to thunderstorm, the mountains begin to look as if they are on fire. They reach up to the clouds. The whole earth looks like it is in a cloud!
