Fall must be coming because Pigeon Forge has caught the muscle car fever again. The 2015, 33rd Annual Shades of the Past Hot Rod Roundup happens again this Friday and Saturday, September 11-12, at Dollywood’s Splash Country. It’s a family-fun affair with no alcohol, indoor restrooms, and a huge parking lot filled with amazing cars on display, none of which is newer than 1972 – sorry friend, you’ll have to park that new Caddy somewhere else!

Parking is plentiful at Splash Country for $12 – or you can park for free in downtown Pigeon Forge and take the trolley out for 50 cents. The show is open 8 am to 5 pm each day, and on Saturday the judging and awards start at 4:30pm. This is where a ’32 Ford Hi-Boy Roadster is given as the first prize, followed by $10,000 as 2nd prize!

Cabins With Resort Amenities – Including Swimming Pools

With more than 500 cabins under our management, we have many cabins in resort communities. A resort location offers additional benefits to top off your cabin experience.

The advantage of a resort typically means plenty of parking, well maintained roads (a factor in winter), and resort amenities such as community room, picnic area, and conference center for meetings, family celebrations, weddings and other such occasions. And usually a swimming pool in season – and we know what that’s for!
