Antique shops and flea markets
Mortons Antiques & Coins
The best collection of antique furniture in Gatlinburg, including a wonderful collection of chandeliers. But come prepared that it may not be the customer service that you are used to from other establishments – it is not an experience for everyone. Only enter if you are a serious buyer – the owner does not like browsers and often keeps the door locked. Be respectful of their collection and do not touch anything. If you are carrying bags, they will ask you to leave them on their desk so that you don’t knock anything over.
Address: 409 Parkway, Gatlinburg, TN 37738
Phone: (865) 436-5504
Vintage and Variety
Nice eclectic store of the “old stuff” variety – very friendly owners and cat.
Address: 2635 East Pkwy, Gatlinburg, TN 37738
Phone: (865) 436-0091
Green Olde Deal Antique Mall
There are plenty of large antique malls up in Sevierville, which give you the opportunity to browse the offerings of several vendors at the same time. This is our favorite one – and if you want more, just keep going up the same road and visit the other neighboring establishments.
Address: 1442 Winfield Dunn Pkwy, Sevierville, TN 37876
Phone: (865) 446-4336

Flea Traders Paradise
If going for a large-scale flea market with indoor and outdoor areas, this is our pick. Best to visit in good weather so that you have more outdoor sellers.
Address: 1907 Winfield Dunn Pkwy, Sevierville, TN 37876
Phone: (865) 429-2716
Great Smokies Flea Market
A huge flea market – especially in good weather, as it has both indoor and outdoor areas. While there are plenty of interesting and friendly vendors with their own products, come prepared to also see vendors selling mass-produced junk (and more than a few scams).
Address: 220 W Dumplin Valley Rd, Kodak, TN 37764
Phone: (865) 932-3532
