Old Mill Lodging Review ~

As many of you have been reading, Jay and I took a much needed vacation this past Labor Day weekend. All alone. This was the first vacation that we had ever taken alone and we were really excited. Yes, we had no honeymoon, either. *gasp!* Sometimes it’s scary choosing a place online – then getting there and seeing that the pictures were a lot like many online dating profiles {much nicer online}. Well, that was definitely NOT our experience with Old Mill Lodging. We stayed in the Daydreamin’ Cottage and it was absolutely gorgeous – just like advertised!

Old Mill Lodging Condos: Daydreamin’

Our condo was located just a street or two over from all of the major attractions like the Hollywood Wax Museum and the Smoky Mountain Opry. But it was so quiet in our condo that we would have never known it.

This wonderful Old Mill two bedroom cottage “Daydreamin” is conveniently located less than one mile from downtown Pigeon Forge. Tastefully decorated with a modern charm, the cottage features a full kitchen, living room with a stacked stone gas fireplace and two full bedrooms. This cottage has an attached garage making it perfect for the car or motorcycle enthusiast. Just a minutes walk to the pool and hot tub located within the resort. Don’t feel like fighting traffic? Just walk a couple blocks to the trolley stop and downtown Pigeon Forge. A covered front porch makes the evening melt away after a long day exploring this beautiful area.

We went on our vacation at the end of August and I have to say that the drive was HOT! When we checked into our condo, though, the air was already on and it was nice and cool inside. Ever checked into somewhere that was hot? Then you know why I mention this. Also, there was already ice made and Jay and I both enjoyed an icy glass of water in the AC and cooled off. It was like a little slice of heaven.

Some of Our Favorite Features of Our Condo

When we looked around the condo, we discovered that it offered so many more amenities than we could even imagine. Aside from the quietness, which was probably my favorite thing, the cottage featured high ceilings, beautiful pictures and beautiful artwork of the Great Smoky Mountains, gorgeous sinks {the master bedroom features his and her sinks}, a grill on the front porch, a back porch with table and chairs and a gorgeous backyard, cable, DSL internet, a gas fireplace and very, very comfy couches. There is also a gated pool and hot tub that is surrounded by mature greenery for privacy. There were really just so many amenities that we could not have used all of them even if we stayed a week {we stayed 4 nights}.

The grill was not even listed anywhere that I could find. That was just a great bonus. You really could save a lot of money here by cooking on either the stove, grill or even using the microwave. We enjoyed our breakfasts in the cottage, and generally ate our for lunch and went to a dinner show a couple of the nights that we stayed in Pigeon Forge. Our cottage had all of the utensils you would need to cook with, including a toaster and a coffee maker {you know I love my coffee}. Since this is not a hotel, they do not supply incidental type items for your entire stay. Old Mill Lodging told us that we might want to bring extra toiletry and laundry items {i.e. toilet paper, tissues, paper towels, laundry detergent, fabric softener, soap, etc.} since we were staying more than a few days but we never ran out of anything supplied by the cottage in the 4 days we were there. 🙂

Did I mention that we didn’t even have to check in anywhere? We did all of the reservation stuff online {you can also do it via phone} and were given the password to the keypad on the front door before our arrival. We went straight to the condo, punched in our code and went inside and relaxed after a longish drive {we are from NC, so it wasn’t too terribly long}. So, if you are looking for a little getaway that is super private and comfy, then I believe you will love staying with Old Mill Lodging.
