There are several small motels in Townsend area also where you could stay the nite before hitting the Mountain. If you have any questions just pm me and I will try to answer I live in the area around Maryville.
Tom I can't find tn 73, I found old tn 73 that stops on the other end of town at 321, There is another road 337 that goes down to cades cove road. My trip is not made in stone I will have to talk it over with the others but as far as traffic and heat I have been in Pigeon Forge & Gatlinberg many times in June & July that is not bad compared to Memphis in the summer.
