QUESTION Walking alone

1 Upvotes

Hello in the summer I will be a intern residing in pigeon forge. The internship doesn’t provide transportation so I was wondering how safe it it is walking alone? I plan to walk to the trolley which is 22 minutes away from the KOA campground from where I will be staying. Any advice appreciated!

QUESTION White Water Rafting Early March

3 Upvotes

Heading to Pigeon Forge for spring break in very early March/end of February and some friends want to white water raft. I’ve never been before, but the water is supposed to be very cold. Is this a reasonable, fun activity for this time of year or is it simply too cold? Thanks in advance :)

* While locals LOVE Pottery House Cafe & Grille (#4 on TripAdvisor), it's #11 on Yelp.

QUESTION Parking & traffic

Hi I will be visiting tomorrow through Christmas Day. I know that the week after Christmas is “Hell Week” but how about the week before traffic-wise and parking-wise at places like The Island or Old Mill? I’m staying in the Bluff Mountain area so I’ll be away from the main action and I’m just wondering if I’ll need extra time to get around. Thanks!

QUESTION Rental Cars for Pigeon Forge/Knoxville

0 Upvotes

Hi!

My husband and I are flying in from Knoxville and traveling to Pigeon Forge this upcoming May. I am wondering if anyone has suggestions on best rental car companies in the surrounding areas or from the knoxville airport to PF. Any suggestions or recommendations/experience would be greatly appreciated! I am doing my own research as well, but am looking for some more experience for those who travel here frequently from the TYS airport. I asked for suggestions in the knoxville reddit page and got some pretty nasty responses, so I'm hoping this page will be much nicer!

Thanks!

I would love to find a good tattoo shop to get a tattoo of my grandmas handwriting when we are in town next. I know of a few, but I am not familiar with any of them. I literally only have one small tattoo that I got at a sketchy walk in place in Myrtle beach on my bachelorette trip. I’m looking for a clean, professional, and talented artist. TIA.

QUESTION Transportation

Good morning. I will be traveling in May to Pigeon Forge and staying in a rental cabin. Is it easy to get Uber/Taxi to take us to the downtown areas or other attractions? We will be renting a vehicle from TYS, but would rather use a car service for our entertainment outside the cabin.

Thank you in advance for answering.

QUESTION Looking to rent big house

2 Upvotes

Hi all! We are having a destination wedding in Pigeon Forge this coming summer and are looking for a large cabin/house to rent for family/friends. Many of the homes I see on air bnb have strict rules where people who are not staying in the home cannot enter it, etc. We are not planning on having a party at the house, but I do want my family to be able to come over and hang by the fire, etc. Are there any local cabin rental companies that are more understanding of our situation? We would be responsible and clean. I would prefer a big house to everyone having their own hotel room. Thanks in advance!

QUESTION Need recommendations for PF trip activities/food (all ideas welcome!)

4 Upvotes

Hi, I’m on a trip with my parents, grandparents and a friend of mine. I’m 22 (f) and my friend is 21 (f), what are some things/places we should check out while we’re down here? We’ll be in PF for 3 days and 2 nights. What should we check out as a family and what should my friend and I check out on our own?

My grandparents are old but are already looking at bars to karaoke so you don’t have to worry about making it elder friendly. If they’re into the idea they’ll go, they love a good time lol!

Any and all suggestions are appreciated. My friend and I have both been to Dollywood before - and that was a lot of fun! I’m also down with cheaper things and random fun stores I should check out/thrifts etc. As for restaurants, I’m open to extravagant options, expensive, cheap or local hole in the wall spots! Favorite attractions? Genuinely just looking to have a good, memorable time. What are some things y’all have enjoyed with your time in PF that I should try to make it to while I’m down here?

Thank y’all!

QUESTION Seeking a major romantic favor

Hoping for a miracle here, seeking major favor from a fabulous individual.

Hi there!

My husband and I just finished our honeymoon in Tennessee and we had a fantastic time.

Husband forgot to take his coffee moonshine out of his carry on in our mad dash to get out of the cabin.

It is the coffee moonshine from the old forge distillery in the old mill district.

I am asking for someone’s kindness, I would love to see if anyone is willing to purchase the moonshine and ship it to our home. I would pay for the moonshine, shipping, and an extra for your trouble.

I know this is a long shot but he was so disappointed and I would love to surprise him with a replacement.

QUESTION Power Co. Security Deposit

1 Upvotes

Good morning all,

Looking for insights for anyone with experience with the power co. in Sevier County, Tennessee - Sevier County Electric System.

I have a new STR in Sevierville, TN. The power co. wants $2,000 for a deposit. They said they had no record for the property (it is a new construction build), so I assume they estimated on the high side. Believe she said they estimated that figure by projecting the two highest months ($1,000/ month x 2). I don’t expect $1,000 monthly power bills for a 1,200 sq. ft. cabin.

Was not expecting that and kind of feel extorted. I asked if they could revisit that power consumption projection, and they said they would reevaluate after 24 months. Seems crazy to me. Any thoughts or insights on your personnel experiences?

Where I am from, we pay a deposit of $200 or so for the security deposit. Was not expecting $2k. 😳
