Once you settle into your vacation at our comfortable hotel, you don’t even have to drive to experience some of the best attractions in Pigeon Forge! We have a perfect location in the heart of town so that you can actually walk to several fun destinations, as well as great places to shop and dine! Here are 4 fun attractions within walking distance of our hotel in Pigeon Forge TN:
1. The Old Mill Complex
One of the most popular destinations in Pigeon Forge is the Old Mill complex, where you will find several unique specialty shops, the Old Forge Distillery and the famous Old Mill Restaurant! This is also a historic attraction as the buildings are constructed around a working grist mill that dates back to 1830. In fact, the Old Mill is one of the oldest continually operating grist mills in the country and one of the most photographed mills in America! After enjoying a delicious meal at the Old Mill Restaurant, take the time to browse through some of the shops such as the Old Mill General Store, Old Mill Farmhouse Kitchen, Pigeon River Pottery and Sassafras.
2. Patriot Park
If you continue walking through the parking lot at the Old Mill, you will come across the walking path at Patriot Park! This pleasant half mile trail offers a peaceful oasis among the Parkway attractions and is lined with the flags of all 50 states, as well as several memorials to the veterans of Pigeon Forge. It is also worth noting that Patriot Park is home to the Pigeon Forge Mass Transit hub, where you can depart on 6 different trolley routes throughout the area. One of the most popular routes is the Dollywood Route, which transports you directly to and from the theme park’s front gate for just a nominal fee!
