Saw this store while searching for things to do in Pigeon Forge. My husband is in the process of finishing his Man Cave so we figured we had to stop in here. Love that everything is hand made!! So many unique gifts. We ended up getting a few metal signs and brought their card home in case we want to get anything custom made. I suggest checking this place out if you're in the area!

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!

My sister and I had visited the shop when it first opened. Everything here is made in the USA and is of high quality. We are friends with the owners and after our dad passed away, they added his photo to their Wall of Heroes. (Dad was a fire fighter.) Lots of neat stuff and family oriented. The staff is super friendly and willing to help. This is a MUST VISIT if you’re in the Pigeon Forge area!

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.

Family owned business featuring hand poured candles, all natural body products, soaps, and bath bombs. A wonderful variety of teas, fragrance oils, incense, and essential oils. Pet Friendly Shop.
Reviewed By lagiant - Spring Hill, United States
I think the owners have just about every scent of candles imaginable. They are around from the Old Mill, so not easily to see when just driving in. The sizes of candles and varieties of scents was great! Lots of homemade incense as well. The owners had a good sense of being able to help find which scents we liked. Highly recommended!
