Location is everything when you’re looking for easy access to activities from our hotel in Gatlinburg. Our location on the Historic Nature Trail provides a variety of activities that are just down the road from our hotel, meaning you can have a full day’s worth of fun without even setting foot on the busy Parkway! Here is a list of 5 great places that you can visit along the Historic Nature Trail.
1. Enjoy Breakfast at Log Cabin Pancake House
As you head down the road, you’ll notice a covered wagon atop a log cabin on the right side. This will get your attention. And that’s a good thing, because inside is one of the finest places to eat breakfast that’s just a short walk from our hotel in Gatlinburg. Log Cabin Pancake House has great pancakes for sure, but you should try their biscuits, gravy and eggs too, and you’ll definitely want to make it a regular visit.
2. Play Games in Arcadia
Venturing down the road a bit more, and just before you reach stoplight #8 downtown is the largest and most fun arcade in Gatlinburg. Arcadia is also the home base for the Space Needle, which is a place that shouldn’t be missed when you’re staying at our hotel in Gatlinburg. This arcade room is filled with many different games, whether they’re old school — like pinball, arcade games, and prize-grabbing machines — or games in which you’re just looking to gather points for one of their great prizes.

The Gatlinburg Space Needle is one of the most iconic attractions in the Smokies, and you won’t want to miss out on the spectacular views from above! This observation tower offers 360-degree views, as well as several free viewfinders to look at the detailed scenery. You can get single tickets, a family package that includes a daytime and nighttime visit, or the ultimate entertainment package that also includes arcade tokens.
4. Grab a Slice at Slice Pizza Bakery
After all that time working up a sweat in the arcade room, you’re probably getting pretty hungry at this point. You’re in luck, because while you’re finding a lot of fun things to do just down the road from our hotel in Gatlinburg, you can satisfy your hunger for pizza at Slice Pizza Bakery. Lucky for you, you won’t have far to go because it’s right inside of Arcadia. How about that for added convenience!
5. Sample Moonshine at The Holler
The Ole Smoky Moonshine Holler is one of the best moonshine distilleries in Gatlinburg, and they offer a wide variety of flavors and other unique spirits to try. It's also a budget-friendly thing to do, since tastings are cheap! Plus, The Holler hosts live music and entertainment throughout the year, so you can enjoy a free concert while you sip!
