Very nice pottery place with a nice assortment of items. I purchased two of the soup bowls with handles. Can’t wait to have a bowl of chili in them!

By far one of the coolest stores I have been to. If you love cats then this store is for you. Absolutely adorable kitty themed items from toys to jewelry to purses, clothes and slippers, books, treats, and Knick knacks. One of the best places in Pigeon Forge.

Jesse had the knowledge and gear we needed to have a fun and easy day. He took care of everything for us. I went with my girlfriend who has never fly fishes before. Jesse was able to give me the advice on where and how to cast but spend most of the time teaching her how to do the basics and help her wade through the water and over the rocks. It was just what we needed and I know we wouldn't have had a good time without him. We each caught fish and loved it

We are now open. We have a wonderful Gem mine with buckets full of treasures. Also a rock yard and a inside store full of fantastic Rocks, Gems, and Minerals from all over the World. We have been told our rocks can make you feel better when your under the weather.

Mr Walter was incredibly knowledgeable and so helpful. We all learned so much and could’ve spend all day there. Little River Gem mine is a bit of a drive from gatlinburg, but not a commercialized BS type of place like other “gem mines” in a strip mall. We DEFINITELY got a ton of gems and unique pieces for what we paid. The bigger the bucket you buy, the larger the findings. We got amethyst, geodes, tigers eye, amber, quartz, etc etc. They have absolutely beautiful specimens in from petrified wood to super huge geodes and even art glass. Definitely worth the trip. Will visit again.

If you visit Gatlinburg & love essential oils, freshly made bath & body products, bath bombs, lotions, soap, oils, etc. you have to visit Misty Mountain Soap Co in The Glades Community. They make their own products just a few miles from their shop. They have lots of scent varieties & products to choose from. The staff is always very friendly & helpful. My visit to Gatlinburg would not be complete without visiting & purchasing lots of goodies from Misty Mountain Soap Co.

The “Dream Knife Package” with Robby at Iron Mountain Metal Works was more than an incredible experience … I cannot say enough about how amazing my time at the forge was. My wife bought me the dream knife package for Christmas. I was surprised when I arrived at the forge and was told the forge was mine for the day. Robby & his staff were extremely helpful and listened to my ideas in designing my knife. This was more than someone just telling me what to do to make a knife - I was taught step by step exactly what to do and why. I gained so much knowledge about the types of metal we were using, each machine used and the entire process. They made sure I toughly understood everything along the way. The entire day was a completely personal experience. I truly ended up with the knife of my dreams – my design, built with my 2 hands. I really enjoyed how they welcomed me in right from the beginning and made me feel like one of the “forge gang”. I now consider them all my friends. I highly recommend Robby, his staff & forge!

This is one of the best stores I've visited in the smokies. Michele and Ann were very nice and super knowledgeable about their home made soaps and lotions and candles. The store smells amazing. Plus, they'll ship items to me. I love that. We'll definitely visit them again.

We went in because of the free tasting, Steven kept our interest, and totally worked the room, very entertaining and informative. Salted Caramel was what we ended up getting, though the sweet tea was really good as well.

Was shopping in the outlet mall and came across Smith Creek, first off its a totally free tasting of 12 different shines. They were really good and have some amazing flavors strawberry shortcake, sweet tea, butter cake,coffee, lemon lime (tasted like a margarita). They have a large souvenir store and give you a free shot glass with a shine purchase. It was worth stopping by while we were shopping.
