Facility Overview
Situated directly along Christmas Tree Lane in the heart of Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, 120 Christmas Tree Lane Parking serves as the dedicated open-air surface parking facility for SpringHill Suites by Marriott Pigeon Forge. Tucked immediately off the bustling Pigeon Forge Parkway (US-441), this expansive, well-paved lot offers drivers a tranquil and organized retreat from main-drag congestion. Designed as a single-level outdoor lot that gracefully wraps around the hotel property, it features wide drive aisles, clearly marked vehicular bays, and dedicated accessibility points.
Because the facility is a completely open-sky lot, there are no structural overhead height restrictions or vertical clearance bars to navigate. This makes the property especially well-suited for high-profile family vehicles, tall SUVs, passenger vans, lifted 4x4 pickup trucks, and vehicles carrying rooftop cargo boxes or bicycle racks. Standard passenger sedans, minivans, and crossovers can maneuver effortlessly through the two-way circulation lanes, and designated oversized bays can accommodate small travel trailers and group shuttles upon coordination with property management.

For those preferring public transit after parking, the Pigeon Forge Fun Time Trolley network operates regular routes along the adjacent Parkway corridor.
