Don't you just love (someone else's) drama? Or do you sometimes endure a little melodramatic flair from someone in your traveling party? After snuggling into the sofa of your Wears Valley cabin to relax and watch an exciting dramatic movie, why not make the storyline more personal, and take on some downhill action of your own making?

Most guests to Wears Valley cabin rentals plan to visit several attractions while on vacation in our area. The largest and most well-known attraction in Pigeon Forge is the Dollywood theme park. This week Dolly Parton announces a monumental change to the concept of Dollywood. The park attraction will now become a resort destination with the planned addition of a 300-room hotel. Dolly has named it "DreamMore" with a reference to the Biltmore, the grand Vanderbilt estate in nearby Asheville, North Carolina. The luxury resort facility will present a comfortable opportunity "for families to unplug and connect with each other", says Dolly. To be completed by summer 2015, the hotel property will have multiple amenities and is indicated to be the first of more to come. This alludes to the Disney-type destination experience, which provides lodging, dining, and entertainment all within the boundaries of resort properties.
