Have you ever been to Pigeon Forge?

I've never been to Pigeon Forge, though I have done some research on the location as a possible vacation spot. I did know that it was one of the primary gateways to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I didn't realize that over five million visitors to the Smoky Mountains come through Pigeon Forge. There are some really nice places to stay, such as these Pigeon Forge vacation rentals a major plus being it is not that far of a drive from Toledo.
