Papermill Vacation Packages for 2026

Great place to stay. Lots of things to do . Nice clean room and staff was excellent

We only spent one night but the staff was friendly especially the breakfast staff. Room was clean. We will stay again.

I honestly cannot say enough good things about our stay at Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville at The Island in Pigeon Forge. Five stars plus! When we originally booked our stay, my wife and I had a few reservations. With a name like “Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville,” we wondered if it might have more of a party atmosphere. We don’t party or drink, and after 40 years of marriage and 35 years of pastoring, we were really just looking for a comfortable place where we could relax, enjoy a few days away, and be close enough to everything that we could simply walk around and enjoy Pigeon Forge. What we found completely exceeded our expectations. There was absolutely no overwhelming “party vibe” at all. Instead, it was a beautiful, relaxing atmosphere with plenty of people much like us who were simply there to enjoy a getaway. What impressed us most, though, was the staff. From the moment we arrived, everyone—from the parking attendants to the front desk staff and restaurant employees—was incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating. You never felt like you were bothering anyone or putting them out. They genuinely seemed happy to help. It was the little things that really stood out. We wanted to do some laundry, and they provided us with laundry detergent. We enjoy our coffee, and there were all the K-cups we could possibly need. Every request was met with kindness and a desire to make our stay enjoyable. The location is also fantastic. You’re right there near restaurants
