Their are a lot of ways to set things up so each can listen to their own. 750 mile ride there for us we often ride it in one day. It would be a long day if she could not listen to her own

We rented a Cabin that sleeps 6 for the week from VRBO.com. Hotel wanted 165/night, cabin is $110/night and is way better than the hotel.

Dragon Pitt Inn is good place to stay, Dennis runs a first class place. But you might need to make reservations. Maryville is close by and you can probably find a hotel there without any problem. As far as what to see, to much to mention. Just get a road map and enjoy all the great roads in the area.

Pigeon Forge is not far away either . Lot of lodging there for very low priced to what can you pay.

The real danger in the Smokies? Fog. So bad that I road 15 mph on the yellow line just to see where I was. This is a couple days later on the Cherohala.
