Gatlinburg, Tennessee is known for their picturesque mountains and luxurious cabins.  About 4 hours away from Atlanta this city has a Vegas vibe to it but with more activities that are family oriented. We had the chance to go white water rafting five miles up the pigeon river, with only a paddle and life vest. One of the best experiences ever! Later in the evening you can take a trip down to the next city called Pigeon Forge,where there is plenty of games and carnivals for the whole family. Just make sure to ride the Ferris wheel!
