Lazy River & 24-Hour Pool

The lazy river is where families spend most of their time, and the indoor pool stays heated year-round with 24-hour access. It's been a lifesaver during rainy Smokies weather, and kids never get bored with the hot tub and play areas nearby.

Full-Service Spa

Spacious Condo-Style Units

These are real condos with 1-4 bedrooms, full kitchens, living rooms, and balconies - not cramped hotel rooms. Most have fireplaces and golf course views, making them feel like vacation homes rather than typical accommodations.

Golf Course Views

Many units overlook the adjacent Gatlinburg Golf Course and Little Pigeon River, giving you peaceful views that feel worlds away from busy Pigeon Forge. Request an upper floor for the best scenery.

Dollywood Proximity

You're literally one mile from Dollywood's entrance, making it easy to go back and forth for midday breaks, naps, or forgotten items. No dealing with distant hotels when you have tired kids.
