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

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.

Guest check-in begins at 4:00 PM, with check-out at 11:00 AM.

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.”
