Really cute little group of shops with a European flair. We loved the Pepper Palace. They had at least 100 different hot sauces to try before buying. Wonderful shop!

We strolled through the village shops, located beside the Pancake Pantry on the parkway. It's a cute little shopping area tucked in behind some of the other buildings, so be careful or you may miss it! We didn't buy anything here, just browsed a little bit. Nice area for a leisurely stroll.

Lots of specialty shops. Something for everyone. Plus neat places to eat. The donut friar is my favorite. Many one of a kind shops. They do tend to be on the expensive side so if your on a budget they may not be for you. If you like to cook you gotta try zi olive 2. And peppers is great... More

There are some interesting little shops in this walk through village area. Nice little buildings, reminded my son of Disney. It looks like some little old time European village. The Donut Friar is located in this village, and the donuts are great. There is a Thomas Kincaid gallery in here, and just a lot of neat little stores to check... More

Full of one of a kind shops, and a bunch of attractions like golf, roller coaster simulator, hurricane machine, laser tag. Free samples of theyre delicious fudge and cookies. Went atop a small hill and ended up in a historic cementary. Too cool .

The shops here are very classy. We loved the Thomas Kincaid gallery and the ice cream shop. There's no pressure to buy, and the owners/employees are polite and friendly. Lovely candle shops, coffee and spice stores, and just a lot of fun stuff to look at if you're not in a hurry.

I love shopping at the Village Shops! Even if you don't shop, just the fountain alone is worth the walk into the area. I have my favorite shops like the Celtic shop-no trip is completed until I visit that store. You can find most anything in the shops. They have table and chairs out that you can still and rest....

Such a nice place to stroll through and shop. Me and my family had a great time just browsing the shops and admiring the views. Watching candy being made, or eating an amazing doughnut. This is a must if you like stepping back in time and shopping!

Since we live within an hour's drive of Gatlinburg we spend a lot of time there and sometimes go over there just to go to The Village Shops. When compared to the rest of Gatlinburg this place is much more relaxed and calm and even for someone like myself who in not much of a shopper there are places here... More
