Cades Cove Pioneer Settlement, Great Smokey National Park, Tennessee
Every time I pass by this place I say I need to stop. The last time I did the gate was closed and locked, so I couldn't get inside, but this time the gate was open. You can see it from the expressway. It used to be a gas station and fireworks store, but now it is just an empty lot with a couple old ferris wheels and other carnival equipment. It is very eerie and beautiful though, if you see it I'd stop and walk around a minute.

8.2/10 Very Good! (263 reviews)
We booked online and when we arrived, they didn’t have our reservation. No worries, though we were checked in and had a room. The room was nice, however, the AC unit must have had issues. It didn’t seem to cool the room and when it started up, it sounded like a cement truck. Not something you complain ...
