Laughing Pines is a wooded cabin community just outside Pigeon Forge, off Waldens Creek on the way to Wears Valley. It pairs mountain views and a catch-and-release fishing pond with a short drive to the Parkway, Dollywood and the quieter side of the Smokies.
Between Pigeon Forge and Wears Valley
Laughing Pines sits just west of town, so you can reach the Pigeon Forge Parkway in a few minutes or head the other way into the farmland and mountain views of Wears Valley.
A fishing pond in the community
The resort has a catch-and-release fishing pond, a relaxed way to spend a morning or let the kids try their luck without leaving the community.
Quiet and wooded
Cabins sit among the pines on the hillside, away from the traffic and lights of the strip. It's an easy place to unwind at the end of the day.
From Laughing Pines, it's a short drive to Dollywood, Dollywood's Splash Country and The Island in Pigeon Forge. Head into the valley for things to do in Wears Valley, the Foothills Parkway and, farther on, Cades Cove. See our Pigeon Forge attractions guide for more ideas.
Families
A fishing pond on site and Dollywood a short drive away make Laughing Pines an easy pick for a family trip. Browse more family cabins.
Couples
A quiet wooded setting with mountain views suits a relaxed getaway for two. See our honeymoon cabins for more options.
Anglers
The community pond is a low-key spot to cast a line, and the Little Pigeon River and park streams are within reach for more serious fishing.
Wears Valley explorers
If you want quick access to both the Parkway and the valley, Laughing Pines puts you right in between.
Know the pond rules
The pond is catch-and-release. Bring your own gear, and note that a Tennessee fishing license may be required depending on age.
Use Wears Valley Road
Wears Valley Road connects to the south end of the Parkway, which can help you reach Dollywood without crossing all of Pigeon Forge.
Expect hillside roads
Some roads in the community climb and curve. Take your time, especially after dark and in winter weather.
Stock up on the way in
Pick up groceries in Pigeon Forge before you arrive, so you can settle in without a return trip.
