There aren't any in Gatlinburg, especially in June. Make reservations
or you won't find a place.
Also, traffic in downtown will be bumper to bumper and crawling. Make
sure your cooling system is working well. It will take upwards of 30
minutes to go the 3 miles through town. Unless you have to or just
want to go through town, I recommend the bypass.

Smoky Mountain Car Museum in Pigeon Forge, TN. You will go right by
it on US 441.

I'm not really on your route, but you can call me if you get
desperate. I'll dig up a contact for the Knoxville British car club
and send it to you.
