Choose DreamMore if Dollywood proximity and shuttle service are a priority.

Rooms: Villas and multi-bedroom units vs standard hotel rooms

  • Villa, 1 Bedroom; Villa, 2 Bedrooms; Deluxe Villa, 1 Bedroom (2 Full beds); Deluxe Villa, 1 Bedroom (King).
  • Studio (Villa) and Room (Resort Select) provide smaller options with sofa beds.
  • Villas include living areas and multiple beds to fit families comfortably.

If you need multi-bedroom space or a kitchenette-style stay, Westgate’s villas are more suitable.

  • Room types include King with Bunk, DMR Double Queen, Family Suite, Deluxe King Room and multiple Junior/ Premiere options.
  • Offers rooms designed for families (e.g., Family Suite, King with Bunk) and accessible room types.
  • 299 air-conditioned rooms with standard hotel amenities and complimentary WiFi.

Pick DreamMore for a conventional hotel layout and Dollywood-themed family rooms.

Dining & drinks: Casual variety vs single flagship restaurant

Westgate Smoky Mountain Resort & Water Park – Dining & drinks

Westgate has several on-property casual outlets catering to families and water-park days.

  • Southern Comfort — full-service Southern/Cajun restaurant with reservations accepted.
  • Roaring Fork (water-park snack bar), Mountain Pizza, Marketplace (grab-and-go) and Mountain Top Pool Bar.
  • Many options suited for quick meals after pool or water-park time.

  • Two outdoor pools (Crocket Creek & Mountain Top) and two hot tubs; owners have some complimentary water-park access rules.
