any place like Gatlinburg TN around here?
So I recently spent a weekend in Gatlinburg TN. last weekend the snowy one! Anyhow, love the place but the drive is long with 1-40 closed. Are there other places closer, in the mountains, that offer the same sorts of attractions and shopping etc????
thanks!!

Gatlinburg is unique. For a tourist oriented spot try Blowing Rock (small) or Asheville, near the Biltmore.

Thank goodness, no!
You would love Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, though. It's 3.5 hours away -- 197 miles or so -- from Raleigh.

Myrtle Beach is a good comparable. The only other one I can think that has some similarities is Cherokee - about 5 hours from Raleigh.

I agree Myrtle Beach is very similar. I love both places, one for the mountains, one for the beach. It would be nice if it were a bit closer though.
