Around the area you have tons of things to do. You are the bottom side of the Smokies. Alcoa/Maryville/Townsend are all close on the Tennessee side of 129. If you go Townsend you can go to Cades Cove and do the loop. Still my favourite spot next to Big John. If you go through the Smokies, Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg is all the tourist trap stuff. Dollywood etc. So depending on what you want to do, it is all close by.
