No too bad.
Property and room was nicely updated. Right across the street from the Islands. The AC in our room didn’t cool very well. Room and property were clean, but not spotless. Overall, I would stay again if I wanted a short stay or to primarily visit the islands and shops nearby.

Great poolside lounging
The room was completely renovated, everything seemed new and shower was very clean. The seating by the pool is so comfortable. The bartender was very friendly and talkative, we received complimentary drinks during our stay. We walked across the street for dinner the hotel is conveniently located to many attractions.

This property is absolutely amazing! We have stayed here multiple times in the last year. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The entire property is kept clean and the rooms are immaculate. The pool area is fantastic and it has a bar built into an old Airstream camper. At night, this area becomes adults only for drinks and socializing. The Wayback has become our favorite place to stay while visiting Pigeon Forge.

The staff is friendly and the rooms are nice. However they charge $150 for a pet fee even if you stay one night which means the pets pay more than the people. I felt this was unreasonable.

The Wayback is located less than a 3 min walk from main attractions such as margaritaville island and frizzles chicken cafe was worried it would be too loud at night due to the proximity but was quite and secluded. The rooms were beautiful and clean, housekeeping visited very day of our stay (3 nights) so trash did not pile up in our room. Staff and locals were friendly. Only con we noticed was our shower glass doors would not stay shut but managed to adjust to keep it closed during showers. Overall was an excellent stay and would recommend to anyone planning the pigeon forge area!
