The Inn at Christmas Place

 
The Inn at Christmas Place is located in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. It's a hotel that is all about Christmas. It's also directly across from the famous Christmas store, Christmas Place. Inside the Inn at Christmas Place every room is decorated for Christmas year round. They also have trees and decorations throughout the hotel. Santa even stops by!
