I would give a solid vote *against* Gatlinburg. We went there over Christmas, and it was like Hallmark meets Deliverance, with lots of airbrush t-shirt shops. It was super-crowded with all these church groups, and everything there to do is hilbilly-rific.
The smokies are really pretty, but that's about the only thing the place has going for it.
