We've been staying with Outrageous Cabind for over 20 years (before it was Outrageous.) This was…read morewhere we spent our honeymoon (well Gburg actually - in an old run down cabin that wasn't theirs). I don't even know if this place was around then. That was 41 years ago but we spent time up here for our 40th anniversary this year - using them exclusively since we found them about 20 years ago. I think the ownership went thru change since we've been coming here but we exclusively and use them at least 3-4 times a year. Their special for last minute trips is incredible. After 20 years, 3-4 times a year (so we've stayed in most of them), each one has always been clean as a whistle. We have figured that we have stayed with them over 60 trips. At least. We've never stayed with anyone else the past 20 years! Our favorite place is at the top of the mountain at the water tower. However three of the four we always stayed at and liked the best, all but one was burned down in the Gatlinburg Fire of 2016. It burned down to their concrete footprint. They finally got one of them rebuilt and just opened back up so we are leaving Friday to go there. It's at the very top of the mountain and you can see for miles and miles. Yet it is only 5 min from the Parkway, behind Dollywood. You would think a cabin on the to of the mountain with its incredible view would be miles from the Parkway but it's only a short 5-8 minutes. I can never praise their staff enough. They are awesome people to work with. Some of our favorite restaurants we never miss are the Applewood for bfast, Guy Fieri's restaurant and arcade ( this is awesome and relatively new and great to go because there is a Crumbl and Ice Cream shop next door that are for that sweet tooth we always seem to get worse up there), Chop House, Cherokee Grill (Gburg), Ogles Farmers Kitchen ( I think this is the name. It right close to going in for Applewood. We've just recently found this and have been multiple times), The Pottery Barn Cafe is usually our first place we hit coming into town. There is also Paula Deens, Chop House, and Johnny Carino's. This is just for starters. Stay here and you won't regret it!!!

This place is very relaxing to stay in. We are not packed in like most RV places we have stayed…read morein. Two pools, one climate controlled for big kids and a small lazy river for the smaller ones. Also a variety of pull through or back in spots are available. Well thought out lay out with all spots on concrete slabs. Also two dog parks for those of us who have fur buddies. A gym and a small arcade. If you stay here I am sure you will enjoy a quiet restful stay, we have the last two stays!!

Do not stay here in the winter!!!…read more We stayed at The Ridge Outdoor RV Resort and unfortunately, for the price, this was a huge disappointment. I'll start with the only positive: the pads are nice and level, and our fifth wheel parked easily. That's about where the positives end. What they don't tell you when you book--and pay well over $100 per night--is that the hot tub closes every single day at 6:00 PM during the winter. There are no signs anywhere stating this. We showed up night after night thinking something was wrong before finally asking, only to be told, "Oh yeah, it closes at 6 in the winter." That makes absolutely no sense. Most adults use a hot tub at night, after a full day of activities--especially when visiting the mountains. If I wanted to sit in a hot tub during the day, I wouldn't have traveled to Sevierville/Pigeon Forge in the first place. This felt like false advertising, as we always choose campgrounds specifically because they have a hot tub--and we were unable to enjoy it when it actually matters. Next issue: the laundry facilities. We intentionally booked a site close to one of the two laundromats. Unfortunately, the card-only washers and dryers do not work. Staff is well aware of this and said it's been an ongoing issue, yet it hasn't been resolved. At one point, we were told another guest was charged $90 while machines repeatedly said "declined." There is one washer and one dryer that you can use--but they're double the price, and you'd have to wash everything together (colors, whites, towels, jeans--all in one load). Completely unacceptable. We also expected at least some activities in the clubhouse, especially for kids, as many resorts with large clubhouses offer. There were no activities at all. Bottom line: this resort charges premium pricing but offers very few conveniences. If I want no amenities and no nighttime hot tub, I can stay somewhere else for $50 a night. This stay felt like a complete waste of money. Needless to say, when we return to the Sevierville/Pigeon Forge area, we will not be staying at The Ridge again.

If you think this RV park is the step sister, think again. While it's not lakefront, it is on a river and offers plenty of activities and grounds for kids, adults, and pets. Food truck on the weekend? Yes, please! Bathhouses and rest rooms are clean and updated. Site was gravel, level, and had full hookups. We could have selected a pull-through site, but preferred to be on the river - no regrets! For the number of folks here, this was surprisingly quiet. Pro tip: make no mistake - this is on the main drag to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg and traffic is horrendous on the Parkway. We came toward the end of high season; the weekdays were fine; once Friday morning hit, so did the traffic. Plan accordingly and be aware.

This is a pretty cut and dry campground. They do have tent sites, but this is more of an RV/Camper…read moretype spot. Its a simple oval layout. bathrooms located in the middle area. They also have a small pool, sand volleyball and a playground for the kids. The bathrooms are pretty nice actually, and showers are decent too. The sites are pretty much right up on each other, and not all of them have fire rings. We saw where there possibly was one on our site next to the road, but no ring. But if you're just sleeping here, then it's perfect for you. It was pretty quiet, minus the traffic noise. So again, a plus. They do have a small store on site for firewood and the like. The perk here is "continental breakfast" every morning. Or rather a voucher good at the Smokey Mountain Pancake house down the street. You get a choice of 4 different items. Mainly a 3 pancake breakfast, French toast, or biscuits and gravy. I wish they had a smaller more simple sausage and egg or omelet option, but they do have a percentage off if you don't want one of the prechosen combos. The location is nice, just on the other side of the river from the parkway, and at the end of the strip before you head into Gatlinburg, so nothing flanks you on 2 sides really. And if you take the back road to get here less traffic! It's also super simple to get to Dollywood as well. So quiet not a whole lot of bells and whistles simple place to park and rest your head if that's what you're looking for. And decently priced under $50 with hookups.

The updated bathroom was a huge plus--the stone tile shower with a waterfall shower head felt like a spa experience! The outdoor heated pool was a huge hit with my 3- and 6-year-old--they didn't want to get out! The location is unbeatable--walking distance to The Island and so many attractions, which made everything so easy and stress-free. The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating, even letting us check in 3 hours early, which made a big difference after traveling with kids. We even had the chance to meet the owner, who was so nice and welcoming--it really made the stay feel extra special. The breakfast voucher for Reagan's Pancake Breakfast was such a great bonus--delicious and a fun experience for the whole family! Highly recommend staying here--we will definitely be back!

The breakfast across the street wish the $6 upgrade for the breakfast buffet worked well with our busy days we had planned. The snacks and especially the hot beverages at night were a welcome back treat. We stayed in November and it was a bit cold for us Floridians. We did not partake in the entertainment night but the person singing seemed very good. The fire pit nicely seemed like a nice touch as well. Staff was exceptional and there is not much I can complain about with our stay. Rooms seemed in good condition and it was cute to have an animal towel on our bed when we arrived. Central to Pigeon Forge and within walking distance of the Island. We will definitely stay here again.

The place was romantic, quiet and lovely - a roaring fire and candles set the mood. The prix fixe meal included homemade bread, soup, an entree with vegetables and dessert for only $40/person.

This was such a breath of fresh air in a touristy town with many loud, crowded restaurants with mediocre quality food.

The Buckhorn Inn was built in 1938 amidst the solitude and beauty of the Smokey Mountains. What you'll find here: *The main lodge contains 10 rooms.

Beautiful resort with incredible views!!!…read more I rented a cabin with my sisters for our annual girl's getaway. We have never been to Tennessee but we found this place on VRBO. I would absolutely recommend staying here whether you're a family, a group of friends or ever a couple who wants to relax in the mountains. The resort lodging is great. There are many options with large rooms, numerous bathrooms, and lots of living space for entertainment. Each property has decks that allow for courageous viewing of the smoky mountains! The resort also has a pool which we were able to use. It was incredible to swim and see the mountains! We did not see any bears during our stay but we did wish we did! There were some footprints as well as overturned trash so we assume they were nearby. I would come back and rent a place here if I ever make it back to Tennessee!
