FULL TOUR: We Stayed in the Iconic Year-Round Christmas Hotel

[Charlie]

When most people travel to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, they’re likely going to visit Dollywood or see the beautiful Smoky Mountain views.


Welcome to Dollywood!


And if you are traveling here, you’re going to need a place to stay! From Dollywood’s own resorts to cabin rentals throughout the area, there are A LOT of places to choose from. BUT where you should really stay is the fully Christmas-themed hotel because why wouldn’t you want to be in the spirit all year round? Come with us for our FULL TOUR of The Inn at Christmas Place in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee!

Atmosphere​

Let’s start out with the vibes of this hotel — obviously, they’re VERY festive and holiday-inspired. The lobby and its surrounding areas are fully decked out in Christmas trees…

If you think it looks festive, just imagine the SMELL! You’ll get that sweet smell of treats and Christmas cookies, and that’s because this hotel serves milk and cookies EVERY DAY!

So many choices!


There is a hot breakfast included in your stay every morning from 7 AM until 10AM. Here you’ll find your typical hotel breakfast with waffles, eggs, sausage, fruit, yogurt, and cereal…

And there is even MORE theming when you enter your room, so let’s get into that!

Standard Rooms​

Upon arrival, you’ll be given a hotel key to enter your room, like any other hotel does. BUT unlike any other hotel, this key will determine your place on the Naughty or Nice List dependent on whether or not you return it after your stay!

Starting off in the bathroom, you’ll find a shower, one sink, and one toilet, and your basic toiletries.

There are four room types to choose from — a Double-Queen Standard Room, a King Standard Room, Christmas suites, and the Santa Suite. We stayed in the Double-Queen Standard Room, and these were some of the BEST and most comfortable beds we’ve EVER slept in!

These beds are SO comfortable!


The sheets were soft, the pillows were comfortable, and we loved the subtle theming of the red velvet pillows and bed runner!

In the corner of the room was a cushioned chair with a light behind it, making it the perfect place to settle down and read a Christmas story!

And, of course, there was a TV in the room that would play a fireplace ambiance or Christmas movies!

You Should Book Here If…​

• You LOVE the holidays! This hotel is everything a Christmas lover DREAMS of, from the smells to the decor, and let’s not forget the daily cookies and milk! If you’re a person who celebrates Christmas in July and watches Christmas movies year-round, you’ll want to stay here!
• You want to stay in a resort with over-the-top theming! This resort does it ALL in terms of theming. Not only do you have candy canes, Christmas trees, and gingerbread all around you, but you also have the southern meals and hospitality of Tennessee! This combination is why this hotel is a must-stay!

You Should Skip This Hotel If…​

• The holiday season is too overwhelming for you. This hotel is EVERYTHING Christmas is about — the decor, the sounds, the vibes, so if the holiday season stresses you out and all you would think about during your stay is buying presents and spending money, maybe skip this one!
• You want a hotel that includes Dollywood perks. Since this hotel isn’t owned by Dollywood, guests staying here won’t get the perks that guests staying at a Dollywood hotel do, like skip-the-line passes, complimentary transportation, and early entry into the theme park!
