Good Question!
I orginally planned on using my timeshare, but for 7 nights in a condo, it's going to cost approx. $950. (in Gatlinburg).
I figured for a few hundred more, I could possibly rent a cabin, with some mountain views.
I know, for sure, I want to visit the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. So, maybe a cabin close to that? Dollywood is on our list too.

Gatlinburg is right outside the National Park and more in the mountains than Pigeon Forge. We were in Cherokee (NC side) this summer and drove over the moutains through the park to Gatlinburg.There is a KOA with cabins and I'm sure there are others in the area. Do a google map or something for Smokey MTN NP and look for cabin resorts.

Cades Cove is gorgeous, and free. Definitely go there if you can!

We rent our cabins through Gatlinburg Cabins in Gatlinburg TN. We are going back to Gatlinburg in July. This will be our third trip. We always go to Dollywood. We also like to take atleast one steam train ride. This year, we're doing one through Knoxville TN Family Fun Tourist Train Ride Birthday Parties. Last year, it was Great Smoky Mountains Railroad: Bryson City, NC. We also went river rafting. That was a blast. This year, we're going tubing. Ripley's Aquarium is always a cool place to go. We took a helicopter ride last year but it was only a short one. The longer trips were out of our budget.
There are some great ideas listed in my previous thread http://forums.somd.com/travel-vacations/182992-rafting-gatlinburg.html
I hope you enjoy the area as much as we do. We've even decided when the time comes (in about 15 yrs, we're going to retire down there).

We drove by that tons of times last summer when they were building it. It looked awesome even in the building stage. We will definately be going to it this summer when we head down there. It will be neat for the kids to see the "before" and "after" of it because everytime we'd pass it, they'd say "there's the titanic!".
I second the Sugar Maple Cabins.. we stayed in the Champions Run cabin.. very nice.. excellent view.. Have fun!

jaclyn, curious here by this statement "I orginally planned on using my timeshare, but for 7 nights in a condo, it's going to cost approx. $950. (in Gatlinburg)."
Are you saying you have a timeshare in the area and it is still going to cost approx. $950.00 just curious, figured the timeshare was paid for and everything else extra..

Yes, the timeshare I bought into is FloridaSportandRecreation.com
To go to Gatlinburg TN, for 7 nights in a condo will cost apprx 950.00.
This timeshare is different than most, I believe. It doesnt give me one week a year, free at a specific location. It offers discounted lodging. I would have saved $1,000.00 by booking through them for the condo. The condo rents for apprx 1900.00. Seems pricey!

Well... we went to Cades Cove. You were right. It's gorgeous. The Abrams Falls hike kicked our butts.
On the way back down, I told my husband to just leave me there because I couldn't walk anymore.

Awesome!! I love Cades Cove! I wish we could build a house right there.
We rented a cabin overlooking Dollywood - thru the Sugar Maple Cabins.. Very nice!! Would love to buy one as a vacation home .. Definitely do the Aquarium in Gatlinburg.. and we did the Hollywood Car Museum and theres a wax museum across the street from that that u can take pics with.. Dollywood was fun too..
We're going back to PF/Gat this year.. and I've been telling them we should go to Cades Cove.. this is part of the National Park? Can you drive through the park and Cades Cove? or do you have to do - I see theres horseback riding.. hayrides... biking.. but can't you just drive around the park??? and then hike the falls?
