• Best coffee in the world! There's also a Black Rifle Coffee Company store located on the Parkway in Sevierville that is absolutly amazing and has a bigger menu than this location. I love this one because how close it is to the house, but I also love all the yummy drinks at the other store. Go check them both out!

Mt Leconte we love to hike up Alumn Cave and down Trillium Gap you end up at Grotto Falls where you can take your shoes off and enjoy the ice cold watering hole.

Head on over to Cades Cove (make sure you get your parking pass for the day, yes you need the entire day to explore) there are several places to park and hike.  Here are a few of the hikes (I have not hiked any of these, but I have had friends, family and some of our guests go hike these)

Gregory Bald Trail, Ace Gap Trail: a 5.5 mile trail, Abrams Falls Trail: a 5.2-mile that leads to a 20 ft water fall, Rich Mountain Loop Trail: s 8.5-mile trail, Rocky Top/Thunderhead Mountain Trail: a 13.9-mile trail, and finally Cades Cove Nature Trail: A 0.8-mile trail
