  • This is our visit to Anakeesta in Gatlinburg Tennessee and The Great Smoky Mountains. We toured all the shops at Anakeesta. Walked through the Vista Gardens. Went to the top of The Anavista Tower and the view of the Smoky Mountains and Gatlinburg are wonderful. Then we walked along the treetops on the Treetop Skywalk. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ Click "Show More"

    I see by the comments everyone liked something different about Anakeesta. My favorite was sitting and drinking that wonderful lemonade and the views set it off for the entire trip on the mountain, fittng for the name Anakeesta, “the place of high ground” in the Cherokee language. Thanks for taking us along, God bless and stay safe. All my Love from NC

    Anakeesta is my favorite place to visit when I come to the area. We had season passes. I love sitting in the rocking chairs to view the mountains! I love Willow Man. I love the Heart Photo opp. I love the swings. I love the Vista tower. The whole place is beautiful! Always clean. Yes, the Treetop canopy walk is a favorite also! I miss Anakeesta!! I haven’t been there since mid August! Thank you for taking us along so I could see my favorite place once again! 💖

    I love Anakeesta. We didn't go up this summer when we were there because we just had so much other stuff going on. They've built it up a lot in the two years since we've been up there.

    Awesome video! We love Anakeesta! There’s some spectacular views from up there! 😍 I didn’t know they had Bill’s Lemonade there too…that’s good to know. When we were there in August, a storm rolled in and we had to take the Ridge Rambler back down the mountain due to lightning. Just glad there’s an alternate way back down when the weather is bad.

    The shop by the tower in a good idea. Now you can get something to drink up there. Nice they added the chairs and shade there too. We enjoyed going up the tower with you guys. Wonder if I could get Pearl on those glass panels.

    Wow i was just at Anakeesta in march and they have added a lot especially up by the tower and the first restaurant on the right when you get to the top on the right is a place that serves beer and they have awesome prime rib and mac and cheese and slaw . when i was there with my grand babies they were in strollers and not kid friendly for ones in a stroller with all the steps especially up to the tower . one security personnel told me they was working to make it better for families with kids in strollers but an awesome place. Next time just myself and my wife since my kids are grown lol 😂👍👍

    The last time I was up there the man working at one of the shops said they sold shoes because People lose flip flops on the chair lift! Lol don't know if that's true but I guess you have to have shoes, so they've got ya!! I'm guessing he was messing with me! 🤣🤣 love your videos and Karen, you always look so beautiful!!
