Tucked away in the Village Shops of Gatlinburg, the Donut Friar is a favorite among guests that are looking to grab a coffee and satisfy a sweet tooth. Take time to enjoy the coziness of the Donut Friar, grab a coffee cup as a souvenir and take and feel free to bring a few donuts back to us at the hotel!
Flapjack’s Pancake Cabin
Located next door to our sister hotel, The Appy Lodge, Flapjack’s Pancake Cabin is a tradition for many that escape to the Smoky Mountains and stay in Gatlinburg. With dishes like Reese’s Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip Pancakes, Spanish Omelets, and the Walker’s Cabin Skillet, it’s easy to see why.
