Looking for a hotel or motel in Pigeon Forge? Most of the places below sit right on the Parkway, the main road through town, so a lot of the shows, restaurants and The Island are a short walk or a trolley ride away. The list starts with hotels, motels and resorts, then the cabin rental companies, then a few places just up the road in Sevierville.
Where you stay depends on why you’re coming. If Dollywood is the main reason for the trip, look at the hotels along Dollywood Lane and Veterans Boulevard, or at Dollywood’s own DreamMore and HeartSong resorts, which run a shuttle to the park. If you’d rather be in the middle of things, a room near The Island puts its rides and restaurants within walking distance.
Cabins are a different kind of trip. You get more room and usually a hot tub, but most of them are up in the hills off the Parkway on narrow, steep roads. You’ll need a car, and in winter it’s worth asking the rental company about the driveway before you book.
Traffic is the thing first-time visitors underestimate. On busy weekends, especially in October and during the Rod Run car shows, the Parkway can crawl for hours. Staying close to what you plan to do, or learning the back roads like Teaster Lane and Veterans Boulevard, saves a lot of sitting.
Getting Around Without a Car
Pigeon Forge runs its own trolley, with more than 100 stops along the Parkway and into part of Sevierville. The routes are North Parkway, South Parkway, Wears Valley, Dollywood and the Gatlinburg Welcome Center, and every route starts and ends at Patriot Park in the Old Mill area. Ask your hotel which stop is closest, or look for the city logo on a sign or shelter.
The city lists fares of $1 on most routes, $2.50 on the Dollywood route and $3 for an all-day pass, and children 3 and under ride free. Drivers take exact fare only. Prices can change, so check the city’s fares page for the latest.
Trolleys run from 8 a.m. to midnight from early March through the first week of January, and from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. in the rest of January and early March. They do not run on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. Check the city’s routes and schedules page before you count on a late ride back.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a trolley in Pigeon Forge?
Yes. The city runs trolley routes along the Parkway, to Dollywood, to Wears Valley and to the Gatlinburg Welcome Center, and every route starts and ends at Patriot Park. Fares and schedules are on the city’s transit pages.
What hours does the Pigeon Forge trolley run?
From early March through the first week of January the trolleys run from 8 a.m. to midnight, and from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. in the rest of January and early March. They do not run on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.
How do I get from a Pigeon Forge hotel to Dollywood?
The city’s Dollywood trolley route leaves from Patriot Park and starts running thirty minutes before the park opens, then keeps going in the evening until everyone has been returned to Patriot Park. If your hotel is not near Patriot Park, ask the front desk which trolley stop is closest.
Does the Pigeon Forge trolley go to Gatlinburg?
Not into town. One Pigeon Forge route runs nonstop to the Gatlinburg Welcome Center on the Spur, just outside Gatlinburg, and from there you can ride Gatlinburg’s own trolleys. Pigeon Forge day passes do not work on Gatlinburg’s trolleys, which are free.
