You can fish & eat your catch here! Our boys love it, it gives true country mountain vibes.
English Mountain Trout Farm
A great place to spend the evenings with plenty to shop, activities for the kids and rockers around a water show when you want to slow down. Margaritaville resort is located here & even has balcony rooms over looking the island that look dreamy.
The Island in Pigeon Forge
It’s a staple across many locations & never fails me. Grab a Starbucks & shop the day away.
Tanger Outlets Sevierville
We stubbled upon this place when needing a quick dinner. There was no wait, probably because we were a little early, and it was delicious. It has BBQ, cornbread, pinto beans & all the southern favorites along with a delicious steak.
Timberwood Grill
The perfect spot for teens. We don’t go much anymore but LOVED it when we were teens.

It’s a slow staple for so many for good reason. This is a great place to catch delicious food but also slow down & take in all the beauty the mountains have to offer.
The Old Mill Restaurant
Delicious country food with an upscale feel. It’s definitely a vibe.
Five Oaks Farm Kitchen
You have to try the apple fritters! A delicious breakfast spot with attached country stores that have the best apple butter. You can also get the fritter mix to go but it’s never as good as the original.
The Apple Barn
Our kiddos love this breakfast spot!
Frizzle Chicken Cafe
You have to sample moonshine while in the mountains - it’s a must. They have some delicious jars to go, the butter pecan is my personal favorite.
Ole Smoky Distillery "The Barn"
A great place to spend a long dinner. Bowling, an arcade & good food! The location is the cutest shopping center as well.

If you’ve never been, you have to go! They have tons of flavors but the best part is they’re vegan - it makes you feel better about the sweet treat, right?
Cinnaholic
It’s the best water park in the area, hands down! We can spend all day in here. Plenty for littles & bigs!
Soaky Mountain Waterpark
It’s such a good water park with SO much to do. The lazy river is my personal favorite but my kiddos love the water coaster.

The sweetest place!
