LODGING
Because the 2008 conference is being held at the Gatlinburg Convention Center, not directly connected to a hotel, there are hundreds of options for lodging that you can choose from. We want you to be able to do your own investigating to find what fits your style, budget, and location preferences best. Click the underlined names below to view the websites.
We have been able to negotiate some discounts for our membership, however! Listed below are just a few of the many lodging options you have available to you. These are the places that have offered us discounted rates.
Please be sure to let each location know you are with NSN for the conference in order to receive the group discounted rate. Note: All rates below are per room per night and do NOT include state and local taxes at 12.5%.

There are many, many choices of luxury cabins or houses you can stay in with a small or large group; these would normally require a car as they may be located a little farther away in a beautiful mountain setting. You can find many options within a 5-10 minute drive away by searching the internet for Gatlinburg cabins; below is one giving NSN conference attendees a discount.
