The space feels fresh and inviting — think southern charm meets clean, modern design.

Whether you’re coming in after a morning stroll along the river or easing into a lazy Sunday, this is the kind of place where comfort food meets creative flair.
The Menu: Classic Comfort Meets Creative Flair
It was honestly hard to narrow down what to order — everything on the menu looked incredible, and we immediately started planning what we’d try next time (Goat Cheese & Peach Biscuits with strawberry jalapeño jam, I’m coming for you). The menu perfectly captures southern comfort food but with unexpected twists that keep things exciting.
We decided to start with the Deep South Waffle, and it turned out to be one of the most unique breakfast dishes I’ve ever had. Imagine a waffle filled with andouille sausage, corn, cheddar cheese, and onions, then topped with two eggs and a chipotle hollandaise sauce. It’s savory, spicy, and absolutely delicious — the kind of dish you take one bite of and immediately know you’ll be back for again.
Next up was the Stuffed French Toast, filled with coconut cream and topped with a strawberry and blueberry compote. The coconut cream was smooth, rich, and a little tropical — it gave this southern breakfast a fun island twist. This was a clear winner for me.
We also tried the Cheese Blintz, which are cream cheese-filled crepes topped with berry compote. They were good, but I personally wished for a stronger cream cheese flavor to balance the sweetness. Still, if you like a lighter crepe, it’s a lovely choice.
And then there was the hash brown casserole — crispy, cheesy perfection. This was easily one of my favorite sides in Gatlinburg. Pair it with the crispy bacon and you’ve got a combination worth dreaming about.

Booked my fall cabin before September even started, and I’m not sorry about it. 🍂
These are the stays that make you actually want the cold to hurry up fireplaces, mountain views, the kind of porch you don’t leave. Not every one of these is going to fit every trip, but if a cozy fall getaway is on your radar, this is the roundup to start with.
One of my favorite travel seasons is almost here, and I have zero chill about it. 🍁✈️
There’s just something about fall trips cooler air, apple orchards, that first flannel of the season, food that actually makes sense with the weather again. I’m already mentally packing for it before September even starts.
If fall is your favorite time to travel too, tell me where you’re headed... I’m taking notes for the list.
Pack your bags... ✈️🧳My hiking and road trip gear shop just got a refresh, and this is everything that actually earns a spot in my bag. The dry bag pulls double duty for beach days and trail days, the Osprey backpack is the one I grab for anything motorcycle or day-hike related, and the GoPro comes with me literally everywhere at this point.
Nothing on this list is filler it’s all stuff I’ve used, packed, and repacked more times than I can count. Full shop linked in my bio if you want to build out your own kit before your next trip.
Filing this one under “go now before it gets cold.” Bonneville Hot Springs is one of those trips where fall access is honestly the sweet spot the campground road is open, the hike in is short, and you skip the snow-and-gate situation we dealt with when we went in March.
September and early fall mean clearer trails, easier parking, and pools that are just as good without the extra mile of hiking to earn them. Fewer than 10 people out there when we visited, a rustic changing booth, zero amenities, and pools that range from “relax” to “actually scalding” until you move some rocks around and mix in river water. Small waterfalls feeding in, mountains in every direction, not polished, and that’s exactly the point.
Full breakdown on parking, what to pack, and timing it right is linked in my bio.
Summer’s not even over and I already have the itch. Fall hiking season is calling and I am answering.
Save this if you feel the itch too.🍁
