Whether you're planning a vacation to the Smokies or want to make this beautiful area your home, you'll find a wealth of information in this clearly written, easy-to-use guide. In addition to the comprehensive information you'd expect in a guidebook (dining, lodging, attractions, etc.) you'll also find other essential information including local history, education, media, and real estate. You can even plan a Smoky Mountain wedding using the information in this guide!

One of the hallmarks of the Insiders' series is the inclusion of numerous Insiders' tips in each chapter. These bits of information are invaluable to the traveler, offering advice on everything from money-saving tips to the best way to avoid traffic snarls.

Written in conversational and often humorous style, this book is a must for anyone contemplating a vacation or a move to the Great Smoky Mountains.

This book didn't have the specific information I was looking for ....that's one of the perils of buying over the web versus in person.

We have been going to this area for over 30 years so we are very familiar with the mountains. This book has a very good variety of details that would help in planning any new comers trip. Some of the shows in Pigeon Forge are no longer in business so you may need to keep that in mind while planning your trip. I would also recommend visiting a trip advisory on the internet to see what shows rated well.
