My boyfriend took me to Gatlinburg for a weekend getaway last summer and it was the sweetest thing he could have ever done for me! We went on a horseback ride through the mountains and then he took me to Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede for dinner. We had a gorgeous suite at a really romantic southern-style hotel and everything! I’m thinking of taking him on a trip to the area for Valentines day now!
