They have a really great pool area with cabanas, a food/drink truck, and an amazing restaurant all on site. The only downside was no microwave in the room. Besides that, best deal for your money in Pigeon Forge

Great hotel, we stayed here last minute when there was an issue with the room that we booked at the Gatlinburg Town Square. Staff was extremely friendly, the hotel was beautiful. The only thing I could say (thats not even a complaint) about is that the parking lot in front of the hotel fills up pretty quickly in the evening but they had overflow parking behind the building. Would definitely stay here again!

We loved staying here! Such an adorable place with the sweetest vibe. Loved the decor. Very clean and the beds were comfortable. The hot tub and on site restaurant were our favorite perks!

The tribute was done very well. It was a step back in time. Lovely amenities. The pool was fabulous. Damien at check-in was less than helpful. He didn’t give us any information about anything the hotel had to offer. He just pointed us to our room. The bartender was super friendly and helpful. Also, the man who assisted us at checkout. We stayed right outside the pool and there was more noise than usual. The doors at the hotel slammed really loud. So be aware of that. We would stay again but maybe not near the pool entrance.
