The Island has a large Farris wheel, Jimmy Buffet restaurant and hotel. Dollywood is always a wonderful place in the smokies, as is Dixie stampede across the street. The hotel room comes with free hot breakfast. In the parking lot is a Krispie Kreme and a KFC kiddy kaddy corner in the same parking lot is a Cracker Barrel. Leaves should be wonderful, fall will be in the air. Normally this would be a insane time in Pigeon Forge, but the hotel has said the Halloween weekend tends to not be so busy, we will see. Please be sure to confine spraying males (and females!) and clean up after yourself and your cats so we will be welcome here again. CATS MUST BE CONFINED WHEN UNATTENDED IN THE ROOM.
