We hope this message finds you well. Recently, we’ve received numerous questions and concerns regarding the impact of Hurricane Helene on our beloved Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg areas. We want to take a moment to provide you with an update and reassure you that our communities are safe and fully operational.
Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg Remain Open and Welcoming
We are relieved to inform you that Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg have remained largely unaffected by the storm. Our communities are standing strong, and local businesses, including ours, are open and ready to welcome visitors. Whether you’re planning to explore Dollywood, hike in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, or enjoy our vibrant downtown areas, you can do so with peace of mind.
Our Commitment to Supporting Those Affected
While our areas are safe, our hearts go out to those impacted by Hurricane Helene in North Eastern Tennessee and North Carolina. You may have heard of Mountain Ways, the foundation that Dolly Parton and her companies have generously supported with a large donation. In response, we have also donated to Mountain Ways, an organization dedicated to providing essential resources and assistance to those affected by the hurricane. Mountain Ways supports relief and recovery efforts in East Tennessee, Western North Carolina, and the greater Appalachian region. You can learn more about their efforts and how you can help by visiting their website.
