Getting around

While the decision to fly or drive is entirely up to you, as experience tells, arriving by car will give you much freedom to explore and enjoy the beautiful Smoky Mountains area. If you have to fly, the Nearest airport is McGhee Tyson Airport in Knoxville,TN. Some of the car rentals at airport close at 11:00PM or earlier. If your flight arrives later or gets delayed, try to contact the rental location and see if they can wait or make alternate arrangements. Gatlinburg is almost 1.5hours drive from the Airport. It is advisable to reach your cabin (any cabin) before it is dark.
