From the moment you arrive at the Preserve Resort in Wears Valley just minutes from Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, you and your family will not want to leave. Considered the highest elevated resort in the Smoky Mountains, all guests - from those celebrating big milestones to others simply enjoying a mountain getaway in our cabin rentals at HearthSide at the Preserve - will feel as if they are on top of the world as soon as they step out of the car.
