Tennessee Timeshare Vacation

I recall going around the town of gatlinberg

It is beyond me that people go to fantastic destinations to go to shops. I always wonder where they live that they can’t go shopping
Such as Berkshires, people go there to go to the little outlet mall.

In general, shopping is at the bottom of my 'things to do on vacation' list. But I'm coming from a metro area that is known for shopping. However, something unique in a vacation area might be of interest. For example there is a 'Made in America' non-chain shop in Branson that was interesting and it was fun to talk with the owner. Local craft fairs can also be enjoyable.
 
The best timeshare resort in Tennessee is Fairfield Glades. IMHO.
 
I prefer BG mountain loft as its up in the hills with amazing mountain views with most of the units balconies and close to Gatlinburg and the smokey mountains NP. BG laurel crest and Mills Spring lodge is convenient to Pigeon Forge, Has nice mountain views from some higher up units and great pool views from the newer Mills Spring lodge pool. If Pigeon forge and all the touristy things are your preference, then BG Laurel Crest/ Mills Spring is a good location and choice.

Should also note that The Glades is an interesting area near Gatlinburg to visit if you enjoy local artisans and their crafts.
 
I've been to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg once, but stayed in a hotel, since we were only there for 3 nights. Want to go back with my partner as he has never been. But we want to go in December to see the Christmas decorations at Dollywood. Just the two of us old folks :)
I was thinking of Mountain Loft, but wasn't sure what the weather/roads were like in December.
 
The best timeshare in Tennessee is Wyndham Fairfield Glades. Please Google for more information on The Glades.
