“The Wayback embraces its retro theme, especially around the pool, where the vintage Airstream bar sets a playful tone. I particularly appreciate its location, close to Pigeon Forge's attractions yet removed from the busiest areas. The mix of modern Mexican and Southern food at Paloma Scratch Kitchen reflects a thoughtful approach to dining.”

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The vibe is unique and it definitely has its charm, but the noise from the housekeeping staff was disruptive, which impacted our stay. On a positive note, the location is fantastic, and it felt like a great value for the price we paid. I would consider returning for the overall experience, but hopefully, the noise issue would be addressed.
