MARGARITAVILLE ISLAND INN, Pigeon Forge

The hotel sits right on the Parkway, placing it within a 2-minute walk of The Island's attractions, dining, and nightlife. Dollywood and Dixie Stampede are less than a 6-minute drive away. The Island in Pigeon Forge is 160 metres from the hotel, making it ideal for pedestrians. For those arriving by car, free private parking is available on site with a secure, gated lot. The location is highly walkable to dozens of restaurants and shops, but the Parkway-facing rooms can be noisy due to traffic and emergency vehicle sirens, especially during car shows; choosing an Island-facing room is recommended for light sleepers.

The free breakfast is served each morning and includes a rotating selection of bacon or sausage, scrambled eggs, potatoes, biscuits, cereal, muffins, yogurt, milk, juice, and coffee, plus a waffle station. The breakfast area is consistently praised for its cleanliness and attentive staff. The property also has a snack bar, but no bar or lounge. For lunch and dinner, dozens of restaurants are within walking distance, including Margaritaville Pigeon Forge, Frizzle Chicken Farmhouse Cafe, and Dick's Last Resort, all less than a 0.5 km walk.
