Top-rated hotels in Pigeon Forge
The best-supported stays in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, ranked by guest score from verified stays. Fifteen four- and five-star properties, from Dollywood's own resort to riverside condos and mountain cabins, each with its own page built from the booking supplier's record.
Staying in Pigeon Forge
Pigeon Forge sits in Tennessee, and this shortlist gathers 15 of the places to stay listed there, every one classed four or five star by the supplier and led by the scores guests gave after verified stays. Scores run from 4.7 at Dollywood's DreamMore Resort down to 4.1, and the number of reviews behind each score varies widely, from 29 to 56316. The addresses spread across the town rather than clustering in one quarter: the Parkway, Dollywood Lane and Dreammore Way, The Island Drive, Ridge Road, Jake Thomas Road, Golfview Boulevard and Cobbler Way all appear, with several cabins on side roads such as Pinyon Circle, Timeless Way and Mill Creek Rd. That spread suits couples looking for a riverside or cabin stay, families drawn to the Dollywood addresses and the Island, and business travellers who want a Parkway base with convention space.
