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.

Pigeon Forge, Tn. Actually we wanted a factory tour but…read morewe're told that they do not do that, come here. Huge selection of cast iron ware from this reputable manufacturer. If you're here, then probably buy something even if prices online are about the same, you save on shipping. The deals are at the rear of the store in the defects and seconds bins. I found very little wrong with most of the items and the prices have good reductions.

The store is…read moreclean, well-organized, and has a fantastic selection--not just cast iron skillets, but also hot pads, handle covers, seasonings, and other kitchen goodies. I especially liked the factory seconds section, where you can score some great deals on slightly imperfect pieces that still perform beautifully. The staff were friendly and helpful, ready to answer questions without hovering. Overall, it's a great spot to pick up top-notch cast iron cookware.

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.
