This place is a dream come true for home cooks, grill masters, and kitchen gadget lovers alike. The selection is massive -- rows of skillets in every size, Dutch ovens, griddles, bakeware, enamel pieces, and even fun seasonal designs. I was especially impressed by how organized and clean everything was -- it felt more like a boutique than an outlet! They also stock a ton of great extras like handle covers, grill tools, cast iron care products, and even gourmet mixes like beer bread. It's like a one-stop shop for leveling up your kitchen game. The staff? So helpful and friendly. They didn't hover but were quick to offer tips or help you find what you need. You can tell they're passionate about the brand and it shows. Whether you're a serious collector or just need a skillet that will last a lifetime, this is a must-visit while you're in the Smokies. I walked in for "just one thing" and walked out with a full cart -- no regrets.

You cannot drive up to LeConte Lodge because there are no roads. It's on top of one of the highest mountains east of the Rockies. The highest mountain east of the Rockies is Mount Mitchell (in west NC), which is 6,683 feet above sea level. Mount LeConte (in east TN) is 6,594 feet above sea level. Meals and bed linens are transported up the mountain by the lodge employees on the backs of llamas in rain-proof bags (the only place I've seen llamas outside of the Andes is on Mount LeConte). There's no electricity at LeConte Lodge, so you go to bed when it's dark, however they do have lanterns and propane heaters. Bring your own towel.

The cabins are all situated for privacy and you feel very secluded yet you can get yourself out there if you want too! The location is perfect. Only 20 minutes from major attractions in the Gaitlenburg/pigeon forge area. We were fortunate enough to meet and chat with the owners. Such great people! They have been in the hospitality industry for years and know the simple touches that make a vacation complete. I didn't forget the best part of the cabin!!! The soaking tub and porch. The porch is complete with privacy screens and hanging lights. A perfect end to a long day of sight seeing. Check it out. You won't be disappointed.

The water park facilities themselves were great, we got a Cabana for the day , the service was great the food was average but consistently served hot and reasonably priced 5/5 stars. Had it not been for the room problems, this easily would have been a 5-star visit. The rooms, however, were lackluster at best. The beds were comfy, pillows were thin and horrible, but I bring my own pillows for a reason We were initially placed in a room with a leaking refrigerator that gave off a strong sour milk odor. Staff was called and came up with the bright idea of applying disinfectant and assured us the room "should be good," but the smell now became" lavender flavored sour milk" and never improved. After nearly 20 hours we were finally moved to the room across the hall. While the second room was somewhat better, we were still greeted by that same sour mold smell every time we stepped into the hallway. Eventually, day 3 we requested yet another room. Three rooms in three days is simply too much moving for anyone trying to enjoy a vacation. They should have never put anyone in the initial room to begin with. Because of this and the repeated room issues and the disruption to my vacation they caused, I have to give this stay 0 stars for accommodations, despite the otherwise enjoyable facilities and dining experience. Overall 3 star visit.
