Little River Gem Mine

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.

I had a massage by Anna and it was PHENOMENAL!! From the moment I walked in, the feel and smell of the place was relaxing. Anna did a great job with my massage - perfect pressure and attention to my problem areas. I added on the peppermint scalp treatment and the cupping which was totally worth it! I walked out so relaxed and no longer having the back pain I walked in with. I will definitely return here next time I am visiting!!!

I always make it a point to stop in when I am in Sevierville. I remember some of the items I purchased in the past there and how I have enjoyed them. They carry unique things that might or might not be on Amazon but you would not think to look for them. The displays give good ideas for using the items. I really like the miniature section and the garden section. They also offer fun sounding "make and take" get-togethers but since I am from out of town I have not personally been to any. The owners are very helpful. Even my not-so-crazy-about-shopping husband enjoyed our last visit.

Hike The Smokys

Our philosophy is: We're here to guide our participants on safe, enjoyable, and relaxing encounters with nature, primarily, in The Great Smokys Mountains National Park. We're privately insured, and commercially licensed by the Great Smokys National Park, to conduct adventures in the Park. We primarily provide guided historical, recreational, day hikes for couples, and families, with professional photography included. But, we also do much more! We stand out from others tour companies since we also provide private "nature encounters", or highly personalized, hikes, camping and kayaking excursions, designed for those seeking solitude and answers, about the "deeper things" they may be going through in their life. Many of our previous guests have discovered on previous "encounter" trips, that the beautiful Smoky Mountains provide an ideal environment, for contemplation and enlightenment. Primarily, because you are safely guided, to beautiful vistas, far removed from the noise, cell phones, and clamor of everyday life. Once these distractions are removed, and you're surrounded by your Creator's beautiful nature, your senses, and thinking processes are sharpened, especially when dealing with the deeper questions affecting your life. We've termed these personalized excursions as"nature encounters", which are our highly customized approach to adventuring, that would normally be just another vacation, yet has had profound and moving affects on several of our customers. Our adventures occur primarily in the beautiful, and magnificent, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, in Tennessee. Not only do we take you to some amazing places, but we also professionally photograph you in those settings, and include photos with many of our hiking and kayaking events. Our adventures are customized for just one person, or for several. We are very unique, since we take the time to necessary to listen, and find out what event, trail, or activity you'd enjoy the most, before you make any commitment. No other tour company provides this kind of service. We've had the pleasure of creating hundreds of customized events for single folks, single parents with kids, and large family groups, who like you, were just looking for a safe enjoyable adventure with nature. Among our most memorable events have been: Midnight Mountain Sunrise hikes, kayaking on a lake to an island, hike-ins and camping overnight, group hikes, private surprise engagement hikes, and honeymoon hikes. Most of our events are for all ages, and experience levels. We provide safe, friendly and uplifting guidance and preparation, which includes analysis of park conditions including; weather, traffic, bear activity, trail and shelter closures, obtaining proper permits etc., to provide the best and most private trails, to maximum our customer's experience. This is why all of our events are by reservations only, because we know you don't want just another ordinary "vacation". So, contact us now, and let your imagination "run wild"!

The Apple Barn Cider Mill And General Store

Reviewed By kystew32 - Indianapolis, United States

My family and I always love to visit The Apple Barn & Cider Mill whenever we are in the area. They have the best apple butter! Yesterday we ate lunch there, and had the best server we have had in a LONG time. Tripp was an amazing server! Ask for him when you go there! They have the best fried chicken, sweet potato casserole, and loaded potato soup.
