About Black Fox Lodge Pigeon Forge, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
Black Fox Lodge Pigeon Forge, Tapestry Collection by Hilton stands out as one of the smarter lodging choices in the area, combining Hilton's reliable standards with a boutique mountain lodge atmosphere. Located on Teaster Lane, the hotel sits just far enough from the Parkway's traffic while keeping you within walking distance to The Island and a short drive to Dollywood.
The property's position along the Little Pigeon River creates a peaceful backdrop, especially from the outdoor pool area where kids can splash while parents take in the mountain scenery. Guest rooms feature either river or mountain views through large windows, and the modern furnishings offer a significant step up from typical Pigeon Forge tourist accommodations.
Practical amenities include free WiFi, ample parking, and an on-site restaurant serving breakfast and dinner. The rooms come equipped with mini-fridges and microwaves, perfect for families looking to manage meal costs during their Smoky Mountain vacation.
What really sets Black Fox Lodge apart is its strategic location - you're close enough to walk to several restaurants and shops, but the property feels removed from the constant buzz of the main strip. The staff consistently delivers helpful local insights about lesser-known attractions and dining spots in the area.
During peak seasons (June-August and October), rates typically range higher, and rooms book up weeks in advance. The sweet spot for visits is April-May or September when you'll find better rates while still enjoying pleasant weather. If you're planning a Dollywood trip, this hotel's location and comfort level make it an especially practical choice.
