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!

Such a nice boutique resort. The pool, bar, staff and morning coffee is great. Not your typical Pigeon Forge resort. Wayback offers convenient location to walk to dining, across street from the Margaritaville Island entertainment complex. We enjoyed adult time by the pool in the evening. The resort is compact and easy to get around. We did not dine at resort. However, heard others say it offered good food as well.

Good one time experience.
Nice place and glad I went for the experience, but wouldn’t go back. No microwaves in the room and the retro fridge was too small to put a water bottle upright. Loved the bathroom shower area and the beds were very comfortable, so this was a plus. Had a meal at the pool and the food was top notch and it was a relaxing atmosphere. I wouldn’t say this hotel was super kid friendly, they close the pool early in the evening to all kids and make it an adult only area. Our rooms were not clean by early evening and we had to request towels for our room, so that was a little disappointing.

Have stayed at plenty of hotels in pigeon forge and the vibe here was different. It was very laid back and much cheaper than margaritaville. The pool area was nice, the hot tub was great and the room was nice and clean. My only complaint would be that the bar by the pool. It was $26 before tip and one drink being a yuengling in a can. Loved this place and will stay again.

We loved the Wayback. The service was great! The room was comfortable and beautiful. The pool area was relaxing. Breakfast was delicious and our server, Javier, was attentive and remembered our order from the previous day. They had vegan options that were delicious! The only drawback was that there was no apparent recycling.
