We were greeted by all of the employees and were helped out with some recommendations and tastings. They weren't pushy but very helpful with finding new flavors. We love Pepper Palace and always buy hot sauce from them. We ended up picking 3 bottles and one of the employees told us that there was a buy 3 get 1 free promo. It wasn't listed on any signs so we were very grateful that she told us about it! This was definitely one of the best Pepper Palace experiences we have ever had. 10/10 wonderful staff!

Next to it is the gem mining which was top tier and really well priced and good value. Then next to that is this cute photo op / selfie area. (Free) I think it was called Bigfoot's country barn.

Some attractions sell an experience…read more Some sell a product. The Apple Barn Cider Mill somehow manages to do both. What started as a simple stop turned into one of the more enjoyable experiences of our trip. The star of the visit was our guide, who took us on a cider journey through the various flavors and offerings. She was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely seemed to enjoy what she was doing. She answered questions, explained the differences between the ciders, and made the tasting experience fun instead of feeling like a sales pitch. And since there's a chance she might somehow see this review: Happy 40th Birthday! Sorry I forgot your name, but your hospitality certainly wasn't forgettable. Now let's talk about the cider. Excellent. There was a large variety of flavors available to sample, making it easy to compare styles and find a favorite. Whether you're new to cider or consider yourself a seasoned enthusiast, there's enough variety here to keep things interesting. After sampling our way through the lineup, we wound up purchasing a glass of the original apple cider and enjoyed it outside. And honestly, that's where the experience really came together. Sitting outside with a fresh cider in hand, playing cornhole and Jenga, enjoying the atmosphere, and slowing down for a little while made for a genuinely relaxing afternoon. No rushing. No crowds pushing you along. Just good cider and good company. We also picked up a growler to bring back to the hotel because one thing became very clear during the tasting process: leaving empty-handed would have been a mistake. The Apple Barn Cider Mill does a great job creating an experience that's welcoming, fun, and memorable without feeling overly commercialized. Great cider. Great staff. Great atmosphere. Five stars. And judging by the growler currently waiting back at the hotel, I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

Coffee Shop No. 487 Smoky Mountain Espresso…read moreSevierville, TN March 27, 2025 (very behind on posting coffee shops visits) Smoky Mountain Espresso is a Christian inspired coffee shop with super friendly baristas. After chatting with one I sensed ordering one of their specialty lattes was a must, but there so were many options. I asked the barista to surprise me. She was awesome about my request, took it a step further and did not tell me what I ordered until I was finished it. The barista made a Tuxedo Latte and it was delicious! Smoky Mountain Espresso has a very relaxed atmosphere with a cozy fireplace. This is the kind of coffee shops that makes you feel warm and welcomed. Plenty of seating is placed throughout the shop including an abundance of outdoor seating. My favorite part of the coffee shop, besides the barista, was its Pay It Forward operation. Coffee sleeves with handwritten words of encouragement and love were posted on a bar in the middle of the shop. Just normal people wanting to share the blessings of a cup of coffee with others. This gesture really touched my heart. Enjoying life one cortado at a time!
