WheelchairTraveling.com
Located in Sevierville, Tennessee in the Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg area, and near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, is the Little Valley Mountain Resort with a ton of cabin rentals. A number of these cabin rentals are wheelchair accessible, including the Deerfield Lodge, Stardust Mountain, Wilderness Mountain, Simply Irresistible, and Stardust Mountain II. Most of these cabins are located in the same area of the mountain, except Stardust Mountain II.

The Lodge

Right in front of the main lodge is an ADA parking spot for the easiest access inside. The lodge has a check-in desk where you get the keys to the cabin. You can also rent videos, and fishing equipment and buy some food items, snacks, water, etc.

Resort Amenities

When renting a cabin, you can use the property amenities. Right outside the lodge is the pool, but there is no lift to get in and out of the water. Next to the pool is a small mini golf course, but no access modifications have been made. A 9-hole golf course also exists on the property; signup is required. Just past the mini golf course is a small pond with barrier-free access to a fishing dock, but no designated ADA parking.
