My family had the best time ever visiting the Great Smoky Mountains. The area was beautiful and there were endless activities for the family. We stayed in Starr Crest Resort which was adjacent to Dollywood. Our cabin was top notch loaded with everything and very clean. We found a great deal on our cabin at http://www.GatlinburgCabinFinder.com

Greenbrier Restaurant
I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone!!! We had the private dining area reserved for our wedding reception. There were 25 people in total. The service was poor we only had 1 waitress. It took an hour just to get our drinks served. Then over an additional hour to get our food served to us cold. I discussed my concerns with the manager that night just to have it excused to us having 2 additional people attending the reception. Our meal in total was close to 600 dollars not worth that much. The following day 20 people out of the 25 were violently ill with massive stomach craps projectile vomiting and diarrhea. The 5 that did not get sick either did not eat or were children eating chicken nuggets. After calling the restaurant and notifying them of our dissatisfaction the manager that I spoke to accepted no responsibility and made no attempt at mending the situation. Again as previously stated I would never recommend this restaurant. Nor would I ever eat there again!!!
