Perfectly fine to use, and I would normally let it pass. But curious to know if this was within the company standard. I like to test out companies customer support too. I did not get disappointed!

This place is a dream come true for home cooks, grill masters, and kitchen gadget lovers alike. The selection is massive -- rows of skillets in every size, Dutch ovens, griddles, bakeware, enamel pieces, and even fun seasonal designs. I was especially impressed by how organized and clean everything was -- it felt more like a boutique than an outlet! They also stock a ton of great extras like handle covers, grill tools, cast iron care products, and even gourmet mixes like beer bread. It's like a one-stop shop for leveling up your kitchen game. The staff? So helpful and friendly. They didn't hover but were quick to offer tips or help you find what you need. You can tell they're passionate about the brand and it shows. Whether you're a serious collector or just need a skillet that will last a lifetime, this is a must-visit while you're in the Smokies. I walked in for "just one thing" and walked out with a full cart -- no regrets.

If you love cast iron cookware, the Lodge store is definitely worth a visit! They have a great…read moreselection of skillets, Dutch ovens, accessories, and unique designs that are perfect for cooking or collecting. One of the best parts is their seconds section, where you can find cast iron cookware for about half the price! These pieces may have minor cosmetic imperfections, but they can be a great bargain if you don't mind a few little flaws. It's a great opportunity to pick up quality cast iron without paying full price. I also loved seeing unique pieces like this 2026 mountain-themed skillet. Whether you're a serious cast iron collector or just looking to add something new to your kitchen, there's plenty to explore. Definitely worth stopping in, especially for the deals in the seconds section!

You cannot drive up to LeConte Lodge because there are no roads. It's on top of one of the highest mountains east of the Rockies. The highest mountain east of the Rockies is Mount Mitchell (in west NC), which is 6,683 feet above sea level. Mount LeConte (in east TN) is 6,594 feet above sea level. Meals and bed linens are transported up the mountain by the lodge employees on the backs of llamas in rain-proof bags (the only place I've seen llamas outside of the Andes is on Mount LeConte). There's no electricity at LeConte Lodge, so you go to bed when it's dark, however they do have lanterns and propane heaters. Bring your own towel.

The cabins are all situated for privacy and you feel very secluded yet you can get yourself out there if you want too! The location is perfect. Only 20 minutes from major attractions in the Gaitlenburg/pigeon forge area. We were fortunate enough to meet and chat with the owners. Such great people! They have been in the hospitality industry for years and know the simple touches that make a vacation complete. I didn't forget the best part of the cabin!!! The soaking tub and porch. The porch is complete with privacy screens and hanging lights. A perfect end to a long day of sight seeing. Check it out. You won't be disappointed.

The hotel is clean, comfortable and very welcoming, giving me the best sleep I could ever imagine. My room was ready early, so I was able to check in and still spend some quality time at The Island. Even though my room was next to the elevator, I never heard it once throughout the night (I guess I was pretty tired from the weekend in Gatlinburg, but still). The balcony was clean and provided a great view of the city too. Plenty of toiletries available in room (shampoo, conditioner, and body wash provided) and a market at the lobby to buy a quick snack or drink. The bar at this hotel is nice and cozy with a television for your sports viewing pleasure. Definitely will want to stay here again when I am back in 2027.

The room was very clean and well organized for our stay an we had everything we needed from a fully stocked kitchen, washer/dryer, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in both of the bathrooms. The very first few days we spent at the waterpark area, which I have to say is very much geared, to kids and families with smaller children. We spent a lot of time on the rooftop pool and seating area to enjoy the sun. We did not eat any food that was at the resort as we made most of our meals in the condo!! If you're there to play golf, this is a great location because the golf course is in the same parking lot!!! We were a little sad that the outdoor pool area was closed. It looked like renovations were going on, but they did give you waterpark tickets to Soaky Mountain free of cost. I absolutely love the idea of having our bracelet to be able to get into the building and into our room and into the waterpark. It made it an ease and not have to worry about holding onto a key card or remembering a code. I also love the fact that they reach out to you by text so if you need anything at any given time, it's very easy. They also check on you during your stay and remind you of checkout through text, which is very nice. I can say this was a great staycation for us and we will have family staying when they come into town!!!!
