You get free preferred parking at Dollywood and timesavers for everyone in your party. 5/5 Star experience - we will 100% stay here next time we are in the area.

And this didn't disappoint. It was very relaxing and both wife and I felt very comfortable. I did apologize for my feet (I have gravel grippers) but they trooped on. The therapists were engaging as to what we'd like (I asked to kneaded like a bad pillow, and wife was less needy). But they adjusted accordingly and we were very appreciative It can be pricey (we had a resort discount though), but this is well worth the cost. It's okay to be a dude and get massaged with eucalyptus-coconut oils. I will not judge you.

This was a nice stay in sevierville away from the crowd of gatlinburg…read more First check in was super quick and there were no issues. As we were walking through the halls we were greeted friendly by stay so this hotel definitely has hospitality down from our experience. The rooms were large and clean and beds were super comfy. There's no confusing light switches they some hotels tend to have. I didn't ever find a safe in the room but you have drawers to store clothes in the living room and an armoire to hang things if you so choose. The hotel breakfast was great they had oatmeal, 3 cereal choices including fruit Loops, okios yogurt, muffins, eggs, biscuits, sausage, pancakes and more. Overall a solid breakfast station and it was clean. We enjoyed our stay very well and the view from this location gives a nice view overlooking the gatlinburg mountains.

If you are self-managing your short term rental cabin in the Smokies your cleaning / handyman crew…read moreis the most important hire you will make. I'm a new cabin owner in the Smokies. I can't say enough good things about Mandy and Billy Gerken and their cleaning / handyman company. Without a dedicated, professional, high quality team like these guys I don't think it would be possible to remotely manage my cabin as successfully as I have. In less than 90 days of operation I have achieved Airbnb's "Superhost" status, and earned 16 nearly all 5-star reviews from guests. Many of my guests have remarked how clean and organized my cabin is. "Extremely clean" "Very clean, cabin feel" "We appreciate how clean the cabin was" "The cabin was extremely clean and organized" And for the Yelp Mafia who hid my last review for being fake, I invite you to go to my Airbnb listing to see these glowing reviews airbnb . com /h/libertyhaven What my guests' don't know is how much work Mandy and Billy and their team did to get my new cabin rent ready. Not only did they drive all over Sevier County to different Home Depot's and Lowe's and Walmarts picking up and shopping for stuff the cabin needed, much of which they recommended (e.g. bigger cooking pots, some throw rugs, bathroom mats, etc) but they assembled and installed tons of stuff like the blinds and drapes, the rocking chairs, the CO2 detectors, the dedicated laptop workstation, carpenter bees traps, string lighting, illuminated address plaque, etc. Every time I ship something new to their house, they bring it to the cabin, set it up, and send me a (very reasonable) invoice. Are these guys more expensive than some other cleaners in the area? Yes. In fact they were 5 times more expensive than the lowest bid I got from a bid site (like Angie's List or something like that). But I simply pass their cleaning fee on to my guests AFTER I mark it up by $49. So not only are they a SOURCE of revenue for me, they actually SAVE me A LOT of money. If I didn't have this incredible team (and they are the most important members of my short term rental cabin team) on the ground, I would have to hire an expensive old skool property management company. Looking at the low star reviews of competing neighboring cabins, nearly all of them are managed by property management companies. Low ratings on Airbnb is slow death. People won't book a low rated, dirty cabin. And eventually Airbnb will delist you. If you're planning on managing your Airbnb VRBO cabin remotely (and why would you not?) HIRE THESE GUYS. They will save you money. They will EARN you money. And you'll sleep well knowing they are on top of everything because they are very experienced, consumate professionals, as good as it gets.

My girlfriend is obsessed with all things Christmas, so for her birthday this year we booked a stay…read moreat The Inn at Christmas Place in Pigeon Forge. I went in hopeful and we left completely convinced. This place didn't just meet expectations, it blew straight through them. The Inn is Christmas 24/7, 365 days a year, and somehow it never feels cheesy or forced which is kinda the magic here. What could easily have been a kitschy, Vegas-style Pigeon Forge gimmick is elevated into something genuinely special by the level of service and attention to detail. From the moment you check in, you realize this isn't just a theme -- it's a fully realized experience tucked into the Appalachian Mountains. The service alone deserves serious recognition. Every interaction felt intentional, warm, and unhurried. Staff members weren't just polite, they were present, attentive without hovering, joyful without being performative. If Michelin gave Key Awards for hotels here, this place would be a lock based on service alone. Then there's the feeling of it all. Staying here feels like waking up on Christmas morning at your grandmother's house.. that safe, cozy, nostalgic joy where nothing is rushed and everything is allowed to be wonderful. You can roam the hotel in your pajamas, and no one looks at you twice. It's not weird, it's encouraged. You just roll out of bed, head downstairs for biscuits and gravy, hang out with Santa, drink your body weight in hot apple cider, and let every worry slowly melt away. The outdoor hot tub seriously sealed the deal for me. Steam rising into the mountain air, lights glowing, Christmas music softly humming in the background.. it's the kind of moment that makes you forget what day it is, what month it is, and why you ever let yourself get stressed in the first place. This is easily one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in, and not just because of the theme. The Inn at Christmas Place succeeds because it understands something simple and rare: atmosphere means nothing without genuine hospitality. Here, you get both in abundance. If you love Christmas, travel, or just the idea of feeling like a kid again, this is an easy recommendation. Not just for the holidays, but any time of year you need a reminder of how good it feels to slow down, be cozy, and let yourself enjoy something unapologetically joyful.

I was in Pigeon Forge for the first time to run in the inaugural Run Dollywood Half Marathon…read more Staying here in nearby Sevierville was nice. The location of the resort was super convenient with a lot of restaurant options just a short drive away. My small little suite had a kitchenette. If I wanted to do a little cooking, there was a Walmart just down the street. The layout of my unit was a bit oddly shaped. It barely had enough room for all of the furniture. Overall, I had a nice restful stay and got to visit Dollywood. However, now the least fun part about staying here was the dreaded owner update. I absolutely cannot stand this part about my ownership. They continue to have their concierge at all properties say anything and everything just to get you to attend one. If their goal was to piss off all of their owners, they are doing a great job. They really need to rethink their strategy!

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.
