Rooms were exceptional based on space and cleanliness on check-in. The hostess seemed annoyed upon check-in and it continued throughout our stay when we had to approach the front desk. The rest of the staff were beyond accommodating and friendly, so it was very strange and seemed out of place and off-putting the four times we went to the front desk, from check-in to check-out.

Typical motel within walking distance of Dolly Parton Stampede. Balcony overlooking the Little Pigeon River is very relaxing and we were able to sleep with the balcony door open without AC, which we really enjoyed. Breakfast corner was above average for a motel.

Fabulous resort. Rooms were lovely, theres a coffee shop downstairs, along with a merchandise shop. Receptionist was very friendly and welcoming! Because we stayed at the resort we were given free passes to “skip the queues” at the theme park and a free trolley service to and from the resort. The TV in the room has a channel (Channel 301) where Dolly reads bedtime stories, very sweet!

I love Pigeon Forge. The views are stunning.

I love Pigeon Forge. The views are stunning. There are plenty of options for food & activities no matter the ages in your group. There are games, arcade, go cart tracks & so much more. Plus there are quite a few options for shows and lots of shopping options. Getting around is super easy. Take your car or walk down the strip on the sidewalks. There are also trolley options & fun rentals of scooters, UTVs, Pink Jeeps & more. We loved the experience at the Hard Rock Cafe. The Alcatraz East museum was very interesting. The experience at Dick’s Last Resort was extremely fun. Too much to list all the awesome things offered.

Whether or not you are taking the Smoky Mountain railway or just looking for a nice small town to visit, Bryson City is a great place to get away to. There are quite a few nice shops, restaurants and breweries to visit while you are there.

We love this area and visit often. Our main focus is driving the roads but we do like to take time (or a rainy day) to head to Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge or Knoxville to check out the tourist attractions. Maryville is wonderfully central to everything that we want to see or do and has a ton of places to eat, stay, get gas, etc.
