We’ve already looked at Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort in a previous post (click here for the article), but, like any resort attached to a theme park, you also have to look at the recreation that’s available. Dollywood’s DreamMore recreation encompasses more than just a swimming pool. There is so much more to do than just hanging out by the pool. The designers and staff at DreamMore have taken full advantage of the surroundings and the way that people like to vacation in Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg.

The grounds have been well landscaped and will only look more beautiful over time. It looks like there are enough hard- and soft-scapes to maintain the beauty and natural look through all four seasons.

Dollywood’s DreamMore Recreation: Family and Adult Nighttime Areas

There are a few very well-designed fire pits around the outer edges of the pool. One of them is located inside of a barn/outbuilding with a truck parked out front.

There were several chairs around the fire area and it is covered. It would be a nice and relaxing spot for a family or friends to hangout on a chilly evening.

There were two open-air fire pits with chairs and benches. Again, this looks like a great way to pend time with friends.

Butterflies abound at Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort! There’s a special area near the restaurant that is in the shape of a butterfly and has butterfly bushes planted there. Interesting to note, that during my stay, I did notice many butterflies flitting around the resort.

You run into the fountain area outside of the lower lobby. It’s a nice place to rest for a few minutes and take in the area.  I’ve also included a few shots of the pool area from my room on the fifth floor..

The pool has a miniature lazy river. If you look in the image above, you can see the curved area near the rocks at the top of the pool. It’s sort of like a fast lane for the pool!
