River Crossing Resort  

Tucked in Sevierville and a short drive from Pigeon Forge buzz. Minutes from Smoky Mountain Opry (about 1.5 miles), The Grand Majestic and Country Tonite Theatre, with Dolly Parton's Stampede roughly 5 miles away. Nearby sights also include Treasuring the Word Bible Museum and Eastern Shanghai Theater.

Rooms are warmly decorated and feature satellite flat-screen TV, mini-bar, walk-in showers and a hot tub in some units; bed linen, towels and laundry service are provided.

Make a splash in the pool with a view, the outdoor pool or the on-site aquapark. Relax in the sauna or soak in a private hot tub after a hike. On-site fitness center, terrace with mountain views and an elevator for easy access. Private check-in/out and a safe-deposit box add convenience—wake up to mountain air and stretch out on the balcony.
