Tree Tops Resort in 2022

As we do most every year, we returned to Tree Tops Resort in 2022. We have been going there for years taking our children when they were young and now taking our grandchildren. I wrote several post about the Gatlinburg Fire, but i never really went back to talk about Tree Tops as it is today. The resort has been built back better than ever. It has Christmas lights and lots of activities around the resort.

Tree Tops has both one- and two-bedroom units. We have a two bedroom unit so that our children can visit. When you enter the unit you come first to the kitchen and dinning area.

The unit then opens up to the living room which also has a gas fire place and a sliding door going to the deck.

As you can see we take a small Christmas tree with us and lots of old Christmas movies to get us in the Christmas spirit.

The unit has a bathroom just off the living room and then another in the master bedroom. The guest bedroom has twin beds. While the master has a king size bed.

The resort is just a short distance from down town and all the Gatlinburg attractions. One of the things I like best is that It located in a area close to groceries and restaurants without having to get in the downtown traffic. If you are going to Gatlinburg, you may want to look at Tree Tops Resort in 2022.

Mama's Chicken Kitchen

Mama’s Chicken Kitchen

Mama’s Chicken Kitchen and Joe and Pop’s Sub Shop are located on the Parkway in Gatlinburg. They are close to Gatlinburg City Hall and Fire Department. Mama’s and JOE’s are in the same building and you order for both when you enter. They will give you a number and then deliver the food to your table when it is ready.

We arrived late on a Sunday night in November, so the place was not crowded. My wife and I both ordered off of the Sub Shop menu. She ordered the Philly Cheesesteak with fries.

I ordered the Hoosier Daddy with fries and coleslaw.

The Philly Cheesesteak was sliced steak with melted cheese and grilled onions on it. Hoosier Daddy was something really different. It was a pork cutlet which was battered and fried on a bun with lettuce, tomato, mayo, pickle, onion and deli mustard. If you look at the picture you will see the pork extending past the bun on both sides. It was great sandwich, and I would order it again. The final photo is what you would expect, Mama’s chicken. it is a two-piece meal with slaw and mash potatoes. When in Gatlinburg try Mama’s Chicken Kitchen for great food served fast.
