Sure, there are other places around the country that can lay claim to good barbecue – Texas, Kansas City, etc. – but Tennessee is really where the barbecue is made – especially pork barbecue. Within the boundaries of Tennessee, stretching from Memphis to the North Carolina border, you will find the world’s best barbecue shops. The king of barbecue in East Tennessee is Calhoun’s. The company has nine locations around the Knoxville area, and we recently visited the Gatlinburg location (where else would we […] - [Is this the Last Record Store? Reviewing the Rhythm Section in Gatlinburg](https://gatlinburginn.com/record-store-the-rhythm-section/): If you’re over the age of 30, you probably remember visiting a CD or record store and spending hours looking for music, checking out t-shirts or posters, and just enjoying the vibe. It wasn’t just about finding a physical piece of music to listen to – it was about just being in that place, surrounded by the stuff that made you happy, and being in an environment with other people who enjoyed the same kind of thing. Alas, such a place hardly exists anymore. The proliferation of high speed Internet combined with the rise of streaming music services has all […] - [Valentine's Day Options in Gatlinburg for 2020](https://gatlinburginn.com/valentines-day-gatlinburg-2020/): Gatlinburg, Tennessee is a FANTASTIC location for a romantic Valentine’s night or weekend.

Here is what was said about it: A mountain town with a fun side Population: 4,206 Gatlinburg became a popular tourist destination upon the founding of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which is located right next to the town, but it dates all the way back to the Civil War. Today it’s known for its quirky cultural attractions, like the Salt and Pepper Shaker Museum, Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies, the Hollywood Star Cars Museum, and a […] - [The Day the Olympic Torch Passed by the Historic Gatlinburg Inn](https://gatlinburginn.com/olympic-torch-gatlinburg/): The Centennial Olympics occurred in the summer of 1996 in Atlanta, Georgia. Over 10 thousand athletes from nearly 200 countries competed while the world watched. As is traditional for the Olympics, the Olympic torch relay carried the Olympic flame to the site of the games. And on June 26, 1996, the torch passed through Gatlinburg, and right by the Historic Gatlinburg Inn. Pictured here is Mr. Ralph Egli carrying the torch. Also shown is Wilma Maples with Linda and Keith Hudson waiting for the torch to pass. - [Noah Ogle Farm - Visit a Piece of Gatlinburg History](https://gatlinburginn.com/noah-ogle-farm/): The Noah “Bud” Ogle Farm in Gatlinburg, also known as “Ogle Place,” is a historic location maintained by the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1977, it is a wonderful place to visit to get a true sense of what life was like for the early settlers of the area. The location consists of Ogle’s farmhouse, barn and tub mill. Noah Ogle was a descendant of the very first Euro-American settlers in the Gatlinburg area, the William Ogle family. The Ogle family quickly spread throughout the area.

Decker Double Bus Tours is a business that operates a European-style double decker bus that runs a route from Pigeon Forge to Gatlinburg and back, with many stops in between. The thing that separates this ride from the local trolley rides is that it makes a much wider loop, eliminating the need to get on and off different trolleys, and it is operated by an actual tour guide who will tell you about the area and its’ attractions […] - [Gatlinburg Restaurant Review: Bennett's Pit Bar-B-Que](https://gatlinburginn.com/gatlinburg-restaurant-review-bennetts-pit-bbq/): For this week’s Gatlinburg restaurant review, we visited Bennett’s Pit Bar-B-Que, an outstanding barbecue joint that serves hickory and mesquite-smoked meats in generous portions. The restaurant also has a breakfast buffet and is situated in the same building as Big Daddy’s Pizzeria. When you walk into the building, turn right for pizza or left for barbecue. As much as we love pizza…we were there for the meat! Bennett’s has an old school kind of look to it, with wood everywhere and red-and-white checkered table cloths. At the time of our visit, the place was decked out for the holidays. The […] - [Meet the Ladies Who Prepare the Best Breakfast in Gatlinburg](https://gatlinburginn.com/best-breakfast-in-gatlinburg/): Without a doubt, one of the things that separates the Historic Gatlinburg Inn from other local hotels is our breakfast. We serve our guests what we consider the best breakfast in Gatlinburg, and it is FREE to our guests. But breakfast like this, that consists of eggs, sausage or bacon, made-from-scratch biscuits, home-made white gravy, fresh-cut tomatoes and fruit (along with staples such as waffles, oats, cereal and yogurt) doesn’t make itself. We are fortunate at the Inn to have the services of Anne Bell (a.k.a. “Ms. Gravy”) and Peggy Gray (“Ms. Biscuit”). These two ladies know how to cook […] - [Gatlinburg Breaks World Record for Scarecrows on Display](https://gatlinburginn.com/gatlinburg-breaks-world-record-for-scarecrows-on-display/): If you come into Gatlinburg this Fall, you will notice that the town is covered in scarecrows. So many, in fact, that the town has broken the Guinness world record for most scarecrows! The official count is 4,325, which is more than the number of people who live in the town. [Best_Wordpress_Gallery id=”8″ gal_title=”Scarecrows”] - [Gatlinburg Restaurant Review - the Park Grill](https://gatlinburginn.com/gatlinburg-restaurant-review-the-park-grill/): The editorial staff of the Historic Gatlinburg Inn recently had a chance to sit down at the Park Grill (located at 1110 Parkway, very near the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park). Here is our official restaurant review. Click any of the images for a larger view. The restaurant has great curb appeal. It looks like you’re walking into a really nice log and stone cabin. There are flowers everywhere. And especially this time of year (early November as of the time of our visit), it has a very pleasing look set in front of the color-changing trees […] - [Halloween Night in Gatlinburg](https://gatlinburginn.com/halloween-night-in-gatlinburg/):   It was a dark, cold and rainy night in Gatlinburg…the perfect night for Halloween spookiness. The rivers ran high that day, the water cold and black. All over town, terrifying creatures lurked (click the thumbnail to view the full size image). [Best_Wordpress_Gallery id=”4″ gal_title=”Halloween-Creatures”] While inside the Historic Gatlinburg Inn, every child in town was loaded up with candy goodness. [Best_Wordpress_Gallery id=”6″ gal_title=”Halloween-TrickOrTreaters”] The haunted house across the street was lit up for all to see. And these frightening fellows occupied benches all along the street. And so Halloween 2019 is in the books. We’ll see you back in […] - [Meet Room 232 at the Historic Gatlinburg Inn](https://gatlinburginn.com/meet-room-232/): In this video tour, you will get an inside look at Suite 232 (the Gold Room) at the Historic Gatlinburg Inn. As you can plainly see, this is not your typical hotel room, and this is not your typical hotel! - [The Unexpected Cades Cove History](https://gatlinburginn.com/cades-cove-history/): Cades Cove, as experienced today, is an extremely popular valley located in the Great Smoky Mountains. It’s an area that, because of the natural beauty and peacefulness, attracts many every year. The Cades Cove history is unusual, however, as a thriving mountain community was reduced to a historical attraction by the creation of the national park itself. The first settlers came to Cades Cove in the 1820’s and at that time the area was called Kate’s Cove, a name derived from the wife of Chief Abraham of the Chilhowee tribe. There is plenty of evidence that Native Americans, specifically the […] - [Forbes Names the Gatlinburg Inn as One of the Best Hotels in Gatlinburg](https://gatlinburginn.com/forbes-best-hotels-gatlinburg/): A recent article from Forbes.com listed what they considered to be the best hotels in Gatlinburg. The Historic Gatlinburg Inn made the list! Here is what Forbes had to say about us: This historic hotel has been hosting visitors to Gatlinburg since 1937, and still maintains old-fashioned Southern hospitality, like its front porch full of rocking chairs overlooking the mountains. Gatlinburg Inn is so central to the action in the city that its outdoor pool is next to the path of the Gatlinburg Sky Lift, which boards next door, and looks directly at the Gatlinburg Space Needle. Parlor rooms come […] - [A Look Inside the Private Opening of the Bryants' Country Music Hall of Fame Exhibition](https://gatlinburginn.com/bryants-country-music-hall-of-fame-exhibition/): On September 26, 2019. Mr. David Cross, his wife Jennifer Cross, Mr. Allen Barker, and his wife Anita Barker represented the Board of Directors of the Historic Gatlinburg Inn as attendees at a private opening of a new exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame titled “We Could: the Songwriting Artistry of Boudleaux and Felice Bryant.” The Bryants were legendary songwriters whose achievements include: Over 6 thousand songs composed, in multiple genres. An estimated half-billion records sold. 59 BMI awards. The writing of Rocky Top, which later became an official state song of Tennessee.  It is that last achievement […] - [Best Italian - Gatlinburg Restaurant Review](https://gatlinburginn.com/best-italian-gatlinburg-restaurant-review/): Best Italian restaurant has been a staple in the Gatlinburg dining scene for years, and it is no wonder. It has three big things going for it: Fantastic location, situated right on the main strip at 710 Parkway (which is, of course, a very easy walk from the Historic Gatlinburg Inn). Super friendly service. Fantastic Italian food. When this reviewer was there, I went straight for an Italian classic – spaghetti and meatballs! Before the main course, I was treated to a salad that was big and loaded with fresh ingredients – onion, cherry tomatoes, green and black olives, and […] - [Gatlinburg Harvest Festival Decorations Go Up](https://gatlinburginn.com/gatlinburg-harvest-festival-decorations-go-up/): It is Harvest Festival time in Gatlinburg, so businesses all over town will be decorating their storefronts with Fall-themed decorations. The Charlie Barker family decorated the Historic Gatlinburg Inn this past weekend with scarecrows and hay and cornstalks from their own farm. The Inn is a family-owned business (having been in the same family since its inception) and that sense of family permeates everything we do. Here are several photos from the decoration process. - [Smoky Mountain Brewery - Gatlinburg Restaurant Review](https://gatlinburginn.com/smoky-mountain-brewery-gatlinburg-restaurant-review/): I recently had dinner at Smoky Mountain Brewery & Restaurant in Gatlinburg and thought it was worth a restaurant review in our little blog here. Located at 1004 Parkway, Smoky Mountain Brewery & Restaurant is an easy walk from the Historic Gatlinburg Inn. You will, however, have to cross the street. It is situated a up a little alley, right past the Cherokee Grill. It is easy to spot, especially at night when the whole building is traced with red neon. It is the oldest craft brewery in East Tennessee, with the Gatlinburg location having opened in 1996. In addition […] - [When Felice and Boudleaux Wrote Rocky Top at the Historic Gatlinburg Inn](https://gatlinburginn.com/felice-boudleaux-bryant-rocky-top/): Felice and Boudleaux Bryant were legendary songwriters, responsible for multiple hit songs in multiple genres. But it wasn’t always easy. Like many songwriters, they struggled in their early years, writing and attempting to sell dozens of songs while living in a mobile home. Then in 1948, the song “Country Boy,” which was recorded by Little Jimmy Dickens, reached number seven on the music charts. And the Bryants’ careers took off. After that early hit, the couple moved to Nashville, where they wrote songs for a number of country music artists, as well as for themselves (although they never achieved as […] - [Gatlinburg Attraction Review: Red Rocket Retro Arcade](https://gatlinburginn.com/gatlinburg-attraction-review-red-rocket-retro-arcade/): A new attraction has opened up right down the street from the Historic Gatlinburg Inn, and if you grew up in the 80’s (like the author of this review) then you are going to LOVE this place! It’s called the Red Rocket Retro Arcade. This place is exactly what you would expect from its name: nothing but arcade video games and pinball machines from the 1980’s (and some from the 90’s). From Galaga to Defender, all of the classics are represented here. If you’re into pinball, then you will love the row of beautiful pinball machines available for play. All […] - [Gatlinburg Restaurant Review: Ole Red](https://gatlinburginn.com/gatlinburg-restaurant-review-ole-red/): Recently I had lunch at Ole Red, a restaurant and live music venue in Gatlinburg owned by country music superstar Blake Shelton. The place has a tremendous atmosphere, and it looks like Blake’s designers did a fantastic job blending high end with red neck (ala, a vintage International Harvester tractor suspended upside down from the main roof). It’s a little bit Hard Rock Café, a little bit HeeHaw. As you would expect, music plays a prominent role in the restaurant’s atmosphere. The venue has live music seven days a week. When live performers are not on the stage, country music […] - [Reliving and Enhancing the Past](https://gatlinburginn.com/reliving-and-enhancing-the-past/): We have begun the task of digitizing some of the photos in our archives. We think it is absolutely fascinating to look back at old photos like these, especially if you compare them to what Gatlinburg looks like today. You could say the town has changed a little bit! While we’re at it, we are also doing some digital enhancement that really brings the photos to life. A sample of the photos are shown below for your enjoyment. These are from the year 1972. In the first one below, we left half of the photo unenhanced so you can see […] - [Jerry Stayed at the Inn](https://gatlinburginn.com/jerry-stayed-at-the-inn/): Jerome (Jerry) Lederer (1901-1963) was a former guest of the Historic Gatlinburg Inn. Kentuckian Lederer entered the restaurant business in Shelbyville, Kentucky in 1929. He established a chain of hamburger stands under the name White Tavern (inspired by the chain known as White Castle). World War II wiped out 10 of his 13 restaurants, however, due to shortages. He reorganized in 1946 and founded a new company named after himself, Jerrico Inc. Jerrico became one of the first restaurant chains with a franchise concept. The restaurants were similar to the Big Boy restaurants. He hired a young man named Warren […] - [Gatlinburg Restaurant Review: the Greenbrier Restaurant](https://gatlinburginn.com/gatlinburg-restaurant-review-the-greenbrier-restaurant/): Looking for something different for dinner on your stay in Gatlinburg? Then let me tell you about the Greenbrier Restaurant. The name of the restaurant derives from the Greenbrier area of the Smoky Mountains. It sits on a ridge overlooking a steep slope of thick, green forest. You get a great look at that beautiful slope through the windows in the main dining area. To get to the restaurant, you must drive up a fairly steep hill. You would find yourself wondering if you were in the wrong place if not for restaurant signage pointing you in the right direction.  […] - [1942: Famous Cinematographer Floyd Crosby Stays at the Historic Gatlinburg Inn](https://gatlinburginn.com/floyd-crosby/): Floyd Crosby checked into the Inn on June 6, 1942. Crosby was a renowned cinematographer. He had begun his career at the New York Stock Exchange, but in 1927 he left to do film work on an expedition, which launched a multi-decade career in the film industry. When he checked into the Inn in 1942, he and a crew were likely shooting on location in the Great Smoky Mountains region for a movie project, perhaps the documentary “The Land” which chronicled the effect of The Great Depression on American agriculture. Crosby had won an Oscar for Best Cinematography for the […] - [Gatlinburg Restaurant Review: Puckers Sports Grill](https://gatlinburginn.com/gatlinburg-restaurant-review-puckers-sports-grill/): Recently I stopped in at Puckers Sports Grill, located at 745 Parkway in Gatlinburg. The astute observer will make note that that is literally right next door to the Historic Gatlinburg Inn parking lot. If you walk out of our front door to Parkway and look to your left, there it is, nestled neatly into the sidewalk directly beneath the China Bazaar retail shop. So you can grab some dinner and pick up a set of ninja throwing stars all at the same time. Puckers is a casual place, with a pool table located near the front entrance. I found […] - [Video - Kenny Stinson and Perfect Tym'n - Live in Gatlinburg](https://gatlinburginn.com/video-kenny-stinson-and-perfect-tymn-live-in-gatlinburg/): In the video below, recorded in Gatlinburg on June June 13, 2019, you can see bluegrass band Kenny Stinson and Perfect Tym’m perform in the Ole Smoky Moonshine alley. - [An Abbreviated History of Gatlinburg](https://gatlinburginn.com/history-of-gatlinburg/): The city of Gatlinburg, Tennessee has quite an interesting history. Here is an abbreviated discussion of how we got where we are. The Ogle Family The Oglesby family were the first individuals to settle the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. The family moved from South Carolina in the 1800’s and would later change their name to Ogle. William Ogle worked with the Cherokee Indians to build his family’s cabin. After building his family’s cabin in East Tennessee, he returned home to South Carolina where he tragically passed away from Malaria. After his death, his wife, Martha Ogle, moved with her seven […] - [A Brief History of Rocky Top](https://gatlinburginn.com/a-brief-history-of-rocky-top/): Whether you are a Tennessee Vols fan, or you love country music, there is an excellent chance you have heard the song Rocky Top. Recorded by countless artists, most notably the Osborne Brothers, Rocky Top is said to be the number one college football fight song of all time (USAToday). The real question to ask is where did this song originate? What is a Rocky Top? Although there is no information from Felice or Boudleaux Bryant where they got the name “Rocky Top,” some think the area called Thunderhead Mountain in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park was the location […] - [Gatlinburg SkyLift Park Announces Grand Opening](https://gatlinburginn.com/gatlinburg-skylift-park-announces-grand-opening/): Join us in Gatlinburg May 17, 2019 for the Grand Opening of SkyBridge.

Also new this year is the SkyDeck, an expanded observation area, new snack shop and bar, gift shop and ample seating. - [The Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage 2019](https://gatlinburginn.com/the-spring-wildflower-pilgrimage-2019%ef%bb%bf/): The special event calendar for Spring is accelerating quickly with items for the Spring season to coincide with the general lifeforce of the Smoky Mountains returning for most of the remainder of the year and one of them is quite possibly the oldest yearly tradition we have on the calendar – the Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage. How long have we looked forward to the Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage? Since 1950! Before so much of what created the foundation of our more modern eras and societies existed. That alone makes the connection with the Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage incredibly special and unique, but then […] - [Where To See Elk and Buffalo in the Smokies](https://gatlinburginn.com/where-to-see-elk-and-buffalo-in-the-smokies/): Smoky Mountain Elk & Buffalo The ecosystem is just one of many reasons why people from all over the world come to visit the Smoky Mountains.

Ripley's Mind-Bending Museum Is Getting An Upgrade!](https://gatlinburginn.com/believe-it-or-not-ripleys-mind-bending-museum-is-getting-an-upgrade/): Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Museum is an important piece of Gatlinburg history. The last time Believe It or Not! had a major renovation was after it’s 1992 fire in Gatlinburg that many locals here still remember. The version that we’d had access to since 1994 came from that and I bet I visited there, on average, about once every 6 months since then. Hundreds and hundreds of exhibits and historical anecdotes of achievements, inventions, mutations, tortures, anomalies that are simply too unreal to fathom scattered across a labyrinth of themed sections – sections that concentrated on indigenous people and […] - [Gatlinburg Festival of Trees](https://gatlinburginn.com/gatlinburg-festival-of-trees/): What are some of your favorite memories of Smoky Mountain Winterfest? Is it the rare but possible chance of seeing it snow before Christmas (even as early as Halloween night)? Is it getting to see the town spirit of Christmas light up when the Gatlinburg Fantasy of Lights Parade comes marching down Highway 321? Is it going to Dollywood to enjoy the park remade as a living Winter Wonderland complete with Christmas shows, carolers and millions of Christmas lights? Maybe it’s going to any or all of the Winterfest kickoff events we have in Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Sevierville? There’s […] - [Ideas For Veterans Coming to the Smokies](https://gatlinburginn.com/ideas-for-veterans-coming-to-the-smokies/): I’ve said it many times before, I’ll say it many times now and the future, and each time I say it, it makes me proud to be in the Smoky Mountains. In East Tennessee, we take military service seriously to heart. We are proud of our men and women, Veterans Coming to the Smokies that volunteer their time, bodies, minds and sometimes lives to serve our country, provide disaster assistance and fight to keep us free when needed. We are proud of those who served our country’s needs whether it was yesterday, 100 years ago or any time in between and […] - [History Is In The Air During the Summer](https://gatlinburginn.com/history-air-summer/): As Summer begins and we get to the halfway point of another wonderful year of business we’ve had here in Gatlinburg, we become aware and appreciative for our history as a hospitality icon in East Tennessee and for the history of the Smokies in general. This spirit will come alive soon enough in the form of the Smoky Mountain Tunes and Tales and, in celebration and anticipation for it, we’d like to offer an article on how the Smoky Mountains and Gatlinburg came to be. Well before settlers from all over central and Western Europe came across the ocean and […] - [Top Kid Friendly Things To Do in Gatlinburg](https://gatlinburginn.com/top-kid-friendly-things-gatlinburg/): Gatlinburg and the Smoky Mountains are a family destination for a reason!

Similar to the other famous space needle in Seattle, Washington, Gatlinburg’s famous observation tower is a 407 ft. tall engineering masterpiece that is a foundation for a number of attractions located directly in the center of downtown Gatlinburg.

[…] - [Carver's Orchards and Applehouse in Cosby, TN.](https://gatlinburginn.com/carvers-orchards-applehouse-cosby-tn/): A great little trip just down the road form Gatlinburg is a local favorite. A lot of visitors to the Smoky Mountains want to find the “hidden gems” of tourism we have within driving distance of the main cities. “Hidden gems” in this context refers to a proverbial sense of attractions that are known and have a following, but aren’t as widely advertised as Dollywood or Ober Gatlinburg or The Island. We have many hidden gems spread far and wide across the incredible expanse of the Tennessee Smokies, as should be appropriate for a region signified by its thick, mountainous […] - [Winter Fun in the Sky](https://gatlinburginn.com/winter-fun-sky/): What is that in the air for February? Is it love? Is it romance?

In Gatlinburg, we have the added benefit of the huge, magical and dignified Smoky Mountains as close around us as we can operate and the cool, crisp air that comes down from the snow-covered peaks and ridges helps make us feel that […] - [New Years Eve in Gatlinburg](https://gatlinburginn.com/new-years-eve-gatlinburg/): The science of combustion has more personal and historical significance to mankind than most other forces known to man. Everything we know of and can measure today began with the “Big Bang” when spatial expansion began from a very hot and very dense point, humanity reached significant evolutions with the pioneering use of gunpowder and the invention of engines that rely on combustions for power, we pierced through mountain rock and rolled trains forward with coal, and, here in the Smokies, we begin and end our solar revolutions with the same bang on New Year’s Eve in Gatlinburg. While the […] - [Christmas Shopping in Gatlinburg](https://gatlinburginn.com/christmas-shopping-gatlinburg/): Many of our guests choose the holidays to come to the Smokies not just to relax and get their fill of Christmas Smoky Mountain spirit, but also to find unique, worthwhile gift opportunities for the family they might not get to see this year. Gatlinburg is a treasure trove of off-the-beaten-path shopping opportunities – we don’t have as much in the way of mainstream, nation-wide chain stores within our city limits, most of what we have are locally owned or at the very least not easily accessible to a majority of our visitors.

It is strenuous, but not TOO strenuous because the trail is wide in most places and well-maintained. We would not, however, describe it as easy because it ascends the entire time (until you turn around and go the other way) and sections of the path are quite rocky. If you are in good health, we HIGHLY recommend you hike this trail because of the strange and beautiful things you will see along the way – from waterfalls to Cadillacs!
