Pigeon Forge, TN (PRWEB) April 23, 2014 -- It almost sounds like a dream vacation: Wake up to watch the sun rise over the Great Smoky Mountains on your secluded front porch as you kick back in a rustic rocking chair.

In the evening, you’ll travel into town for a delicious dinner and to catch an award-winning show at one of the Parkway’s favorite theaters.
