Mid South

Famous for its gentile charm, the South possesses an easy-going sophistication Southerners are rightly proud of and happy to share. SFX Preferred Resort properties here marry that charm and sophistication with a standard of luxury our guests have come to expect. One of our regions is famously hospitable Gatlinburg, Tennessee, nestled among the beautiful Smoky Mountains. In town, shop for local arts and crafts, collectibles, and unique finds, like a store selling over 1,000 hot sauces! This is also the place to try authentic Southern cooking in small, welcoming restaurants. And if you’re looking for a little glitz and glamour, Dollywood is only eight miles down the road. Outdoor types will also find endless opportunities in Great Smoky Mountains National Park and nearby lakes and rivers, including whitewater rafting, trout fishing, birdwatching and horseback riding.

Branson is the place to go for country-style excitement. Attractions here include the newly opened Titanic Museum, with its authentic collection of artifacts and memorabilia in a faithful recreation of the great ship, golf at manicured courses like the Payne Stewart Golf Club, and shopping in the historic downtown. Of course, the big draw here is the line-up of world-famous performers who come to Branson’s many theaters to sing, dance and entertain year-round. Within minutes of Branson, multiple opportunities to explore the great outdoors await in the Branson Lakes area and Mark Twain National Forest, featuring boating, fishing, hiking, horseback riding and kayaking.
