Top-rated hotels in Pigeon Forge
The 15 top-rated hotels in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, ordered by guest score weighted by the number of stays behind it. Every stay here is classed 4-star or 5-star by the supplier, and each name links to its own page built from the booking record.
Staying in Pigeon Forge
Pigeon Forge sits in Tennessee and this page lists 46 places to stay in the town, each with its own page carrying the supplier's star class, guest score, facilities and photographs. The stays are spread along and around the Parkway and the side roads off it, from Dreammore Way and Dollywood Lane to Valley Heights Drive and Golfview Blvd, so you can pick between addresses close to the main thoroughfare and quieter lanes further out.
The list suits different kinds of trip. Couples short on time tend to look at the 4-star names on the Parkway and near The Island Drive, while larger groups and families are drawn to the condo and resort addresses on Ridge Road, Cobbler Way and River Port Way. Business visitors have convention-centre and Parkway addresses to choose from, and a short break can be built around any of the 15 without leaving the town.
