The award-winning Dollywood has come to embody all there is to love about Parton’s Tennessee mountain home, creating an entertainment venue that for three decades has been a treasured part of family vacations. As resort guests gaze out on the same mountains that inspired Parton, they’ll be able to enjoy the hospitality that has been the hallmark of the destination since the park opened its gates.           The Dollywood experience is about so much more than roller coasters and water slides; it’s also about great food, award-winning entertainment, and getting in touch with the culture of the area. Dollywood is located just minutes away from Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the most visited national park in the United States. These natural elements are balanced by a variety of entertainment offerings in the towns that surround the parks, making this a complete family destination in one of the most picturesque parts of the country. The 30th anniversary year at the theme park is the perfect time for families to discover – or rediscover – both the destination and the joys of time spent together.           For more information about Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort or to book a reservation, guests should visit www.DollywoodsDreamMore.com or call 800-365-5996.
