    The Inn at Christmas Place - Outside at night

    The Inn at Christmas Place

    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.

    If you love Christmas this is the place to stay! Well kept hotel and the staff are very friendly…read more The decor is beautiful and the pool is idyllic. Free breakfast, daily Santa meet and greets, Santa in concert a few nights a week and a beautiful pool, so much to enjoy and the holiday spirit is contagious.

    Wowowowow, where do I start?!…read more Pigeon Forge is a mountainous Vegas-like touristy town. There are tons of hotels, some are great and others...not so much. Those great hotels are often going to cost a pretty penny while those more affordable ones are going to be a bit rough around the edges. So where can you stay in Pigeon Forge that isn't going to hurt the bank account while giving you a relaxing stay? Well look no further...Twin Mountain Inn & Suites is excellent AND affordable! I'm a Hotels member and when I saw Twin Mountain Inn and Suites' 5 star reviews, I was curious, especially because at the time, the rates were about $97/night AND pets are only $20/night. Not only that, the room had a river view with a balcony, fireplace, and free parking. Now, I've kept this hotel on the backburner on my account. Last time we visited Pigeon Forge, we stayed at Drury and spent so much more on a "Mountain View" that overlooked the parking structure. So, this time, I decided to go with my instinct and book with Twin Mountain. Boy, am I glad we did!! We stayed on the third floor. Don't let the cover of a book fool you. The parking is easy but can get full pretty quickly, true. However, the room was probably on of the cleanest hotel rooms we've ever stayed in. The beds were comfortable. The shower was hot and had good water pressure (albeit, no conditioner or body wash-just a small packaged bar of soap. There were two small bottles of shampoo). There's a microwave and mini fridge in the room. I also liked that there were two sinks, one in the bathroom and one just outside of it (vanity). This was convenient for two people. The AC/heater was powerful, too. The fireplace is timed and creates a cozy atmosphere. The balcony overlooking the river was peaceful and there were two plastic chairs and a little table out there to sit and enjoy the view of ducks and geese. Twin Mountain Inn and Suites is close to the strip but away from the flashing lights and noise. It's a great location! Breakfast is included and had biscuits and gravy, eggs, yogurt, sausage, fruit, cereal, and one waffle maker. There's fresh coffee and a juice machine, too. It was a tight squeeze as it was very busy for 7:30am so I decided to get one biscuit and gravy, two sausages, and a yogurt to take back to the room, which were all very good. There's a drink vending machine outside of the lobby and one near the parking lot. The elevator was convenient and they also had luggage trolleys, too. This was an outstanding stay for one night and I wish it had been longer. I highly highly HIGHLY recommend staying with Twin Mountain Inn & Suites for your next stay in Pigeon Forge.

    We stayed here the last time we visited Pigeon Forge. I would stay here again. We had a creek view…read moreroom with a fireplace. The room was very spacious and I loved the layout of the room! The hotel is older but very well maintained and off the beaten path so we really loved that. The hotel desk staff was very friendly as well. The only issue was there seemed to be many smokers staying there while we were there and they liked to congregate around the front entrance. So every time you came in, you were blasted with cigarettes. Otherwise, the stay was very enjoyable!

    Did i have a bad time and want to pack up and leave? No…read more Would i stay here again instead of trying somewhere else in the area? Also no. It was cheap and we had a shower and bed so it was what we asked/payed for. Pros: close to the foothills parkway and national park entrance. Excellent restaurants, brewery and coffee shop within a few miles. 30 mins to pigeon forge/touristy areas. Nice fireplace and stayed warm. Sheets and bedding were soft. Decent view of the mountains (better if you're in a cabin. We were in a room off the shared living space so when you look out the window you see what i assume is the owners home, and mountains on the other side. Pic attached.) Never ran out of hot water due to instant tankless water heater. Cons: It was clean but surface cleaned, not deep cleaned. Like the sheets and towels were clean and they wiped down high touch surfaces, but the fan couldn't be used because of the amount of dust on it, large cobwebs in every corner. I hate dusting so i get it but People also don't pay to sleep at my house, so... Water pressure was horrible, the rain shower head couldn't be used really because the head was clogged. Our room shared a "wall" with the common area (glass French doors with curtains separated us from the common area) and there were other guest in the common area at 10-11pm being loud, slamming oven doors, cabinet doors, etc. and again at 730am there was music being played in the kitchen and people slamming around pots/pans. It was hard to feel comfortable or like we truly had privacy with the set up of the room as it was. The wall facing the mountains was al window/glass doors. So, We always had to have all the curtains closed to have some sort of privacy which negates the nice view. You also can't cover the top windows so you're woken up at sunrise (if you aren't an early riser. I don't mind.) TLDR; There are places I've stayed in TN that i would 100% book again no question. This isn't one. It was okay for a few days and close to area attractions!

    My boyfriend and came to this inn to spend time away from home on our anniversary. The views were…read morevery nice and all and all the rooms were very clean, sadly though there were some issues. The bathtub wouldn't work so we couldn't get any use of the jacuzzi tub. While the owner did fix it fairly promptly, the next problem was that the hot water wouldn't work. Now we were left with no hot water so we couldn't even shower. The next thing I want to touch on was the common space. This includes a sitting area and a kitchen where you can store your personal items. We had brought a cake with us for our anniversary, so upon reading the rules of the kitchen we were going to place it in the one fridge to keep it cold. Sadly, when the rules that are you can only use the bottom self people take advantage of that and do not think of other guests in the inn. There was zero room to store our very small cake, so we had to keep it in our room. The last thing I want to touch on are the walls and how the common space can can a problem. It was about 10-10:30 and we suddenly hear a group of people being kind of loud in the common space. The walls are thinner so it's hard to block out that noise. I wouldn't have minded if it were the middle of the day but it was past 10:00 pm, you would figure there would be some sort of quiet time. That was a bother to us who were just wanting to have some quiet settle down time. It was a reasonable time to want quiet. All in all this wasn't the worst place I have ever been, it just wasn't the amazing experience I was hoping for. At the very least I wished I had a tub that worked, place to put our one item in the fridge, someone who didn't take our plates, hot water, and some kind of quiet time in the common area. Maybe this place will be for some but sadly we didn't leave with the best impressions.
