Cabin 4020 was an excellent choice! My good friend, Alisa, made me aware that at Hidden Mountain Resort in Pigeon Forge, TN, you want to make sure you get a cabin BEFORE the bridge. Why? Because if you don’t, you have to drive up hills like we never experience in Indiana. Of course, she waited to share that fact AFTER we rented one unit a few years back that about claimed our lives and that of our poor Mini Cooper that squalled tired all the way up and had me ‘white-knuckled’ all the way down.
It’s difficult to choose a vacation destination when one person refuses to fly, and one member of your party isn’t even 2 years-old yet. The 5-hour drive to Pigeon Forge was about the best we could do considering those factors in particular. Our cabin was close to about everything. While I did notice some businesses have closed (most likely due to the challenging economy) since I was there last year, there were some new things are coming in (a Joe’s Crab Shack and new wax museum to name only a couple). And, like everywhere else I guess, some things never change. If your last trip to Pigeon Forge was 20 years ago, you probably remember this sight:
Just as in go cart racing, Ben took the whole ping pong thing pretty darned seriously. 4020 also sported a Foosball table that we uncovered and covered back up, not playing even one round.
If you have someone under 2, they LOVE to watch the go-carts, but HATE miniature golf.
Pointer #2 — don’t forget to wave!
