Pros

“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.”

I had a decent stay at this hotel that has great potential. The location is perfect for exploring Pigeon Forge, being right across from The Island, which is full of attractions. My room was cozy and fairly clean, but it needed a bit more attention to detail. The dining options were satisfactory, but not impressive. Overall, it's a good place for the price, but there are a few areas that could use improvement.
