Overall, my stay at this resort was really enjoyable, situated in a peaceful setting yet close enough to all the attractions Pigeon Forge has to offer. The amenities are fantastic, especially the pools and workout room. However, I did find the one-bedroom lock-off units a bit cramped and the furniture could use some downsizing for better comfort.
