Margaritaville-Gatlinburg is easily one of the best things to happen to Gatlinburg in the last several years. One might not expect to find a Jimmy Buffet themed lifestyle resort in the mountains, but visitors and locals alike are keeping this place busy and it has proven to be a popular addition to the local scene, even garnering USA Today’s top prize for Best New Hotel in the country for 2018.

In this episode of the 441 Podcast, we talk to three key players in the new resort. Chrissy Hughes oversees public relations and social media for both the Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge locations. Tracy Hancock works in the beautiful St. Somewhere spa — the first full service spa in Gatlinburg. Jim Kresse is a bartender in the License to Chill bar.

Find out what everyone is talking about and why visitors from across the nation are flocking to this beautiful new resort in the heart of Gatlinburg.
