Very nice place tucked into the corner of Gatlinburg. The owners were gracious to allow me to park in their lot while we hiked in the area. Post hike we picked up some sweets and a prize for our grandson. Susie wants to go back tomorrow for another Lemon Gooey Bar!

I love this place. Took some great photos. It has been in business for 100 years
