The Wayback, Pigeon Forge, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel - A lifestyle hotel with swim club, cantina dining, and proximity to The Island

Located across from The Island in Pigeon Forge, this 4-star Pigeon Forge hotel features stylish rooms equipped with Wi-Fi, large TVs, plush linens, and premium toiletries. The Wayback's Paloma Scratch Kitchen serves modern comfort food with cantina-inspired flavors from breakfast through dinner. The property includes an outdoor pool with a vintage Airstream bar, private cabanas, and an oversized hot tub, with adults-only access from 5 PM to 10 PM. The Tribute Portfolio Hotel offers accessible features including elevator service, mobility-accessible rooms, and hearing-accessible accommodations. Guest check-in begins at 4:00 PM, with check-out at 11:00 AM. Positioned 0.5 miles from attractions like Ole Smoky Tennessee Moonshine, Arcade City, and the Main Event Theater, the hotel sits 40.5 miles from McGhee Tyson Airport.

Pros

Private cabanas available as quiet retreats from the Parkway

Adults-only evening pool access creates a sophisticated atmosphere

On-site fitness center with accessible entrance

Complimentary on-site parking

Cons

40.5 miles distance from nearest airport

Limited dining options within immediate walking distance

“The mid-century modern design feels fresh, especially around the pool; I appreciate that it's close to attractions like Dollywood, yet offers a bit of a retreat. The on-site dining, with its contemporary take on Mexican and Southern flavors, seems a real draw, as is the idea of unwinding with a complimentary cocktail. It's a solid choice for a Pigeon Forge getaway, in my opinion.”
