Why Do They Come?

With anywhere from 10 – 13 million visitors to the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area annually (depending on whom you believe) it is a very reasonable question to ask. I was talking recently with someone who was considering moving to this area and we were talking about the number of visitors and the challenges that their large numbers create. This in turn led me to think about why people do come in such large numbers to our rather small community. Here’s what I came up with:
  • Peace and Quiet – In our ever busier world the mountains serve as a pressure release valve for many folks. In a cabin or chalet they can avoid work, phones, deadlines, and email. Of course this is true for any vacation but particularly here it can be as isolated as you wish. Unlike the beach, we provide opportunities for folks who just want to be alone. If their wish is for a private couple’s weekend, a family reunion, or small group gathering, or even a corporate retreat this area provides the proper degree of insulation from the work-a-day world.
  • Location – Gatlinburg and Sevier County are within a day’s drive for approximately 80% of the United State’s population. With the price of everything going up a vacation that doesn’t require an airline ticket and a rental car means more money available for fun while on vacation as opposed to being spent getting there.
  • Options – While the National Park is the primary attraction for many of our visitors there are so many other draws to the Smoky Mountains. The pedestrian friendly community of Gatlinburg with its shops and restaurants, the kid friendly arcades and amusements of Pigeon Forge, the outlet shopping opportunities in Sevierville, horseback riding, car shows, arts and crafts in the Glades community in Gatlinburg and in Pigeon Forge, and so much more.
  • Safety – Although no community is totally without crime we are as safe here as about anywhere. If you are looking for a family friendly environment this is certainly it.
  • Tradition – Many of our visitors are second and third generation fans of Gatlinburg and the surrounding Smoky Mountains. Their parents or even grand parents brought them here as children and they are now doing the same with their children. This comes up quite regularly when we speak with clients about why they enjoy this area.

After listing these quick reasons why people visit our area in such large numbers it dawns on me that these are also great reasons to own a second home here as well as why we love living here. The Gatlinburg area continues to be a major attraction for all of these reasons and that is why prime Gatlinburg real estate continues to be very much in demand.

    Jeff,
    Everytime you talk about Gatlinburg, I think about taking my family out there. It seems like such a great place to be!

    So when’s the off season? 🙂

    Jason,

    The off season seems to get shorter and shorter each year but is generally the first quarter of the year. Even February is busy around President’s Day and Valentine’s Day so be sure to call ahead before you come!

    Thanks for the comment,

    Jeff
