There is also the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad where you can take a train ride thru the mountains. It takes a couple of hours but it was very relaxing. It takes you thru tunnels and along the river.
I live in and was born right nearby in Knoxville so I've been to the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area many, many times. I can't tell you much about condos there to rent - never stayed in one, but I know there are a lot. My favorite hotel is the Clarion Inn Gatlinburg and favorite cabins are at Gatlinburg Falls Resort. Some of my favorite things to do:
Dollywood
Dollywood Splash Country
Ripley's Aquarium
Ripley's Haunted Adventure
The Park Grill Gatlinburg
Cherokee Grill Gatlinburg
The Peddler Gatlinburg
The Apple Barn Sevierville
Minature Golf (everywhere, esp. Ripley's)
Tanger Outlet Mall
The Incredible Christmas Place
The Pancake Pantry
Flapjack's
Sugarlands Visitor's Center
Hiking (in the Park in general)
Ober Gatlinburg (open all year)
Shopping along the Gatlinburg main street
Dixie Stampede
