The Wayback, Pigeon Forge's funky hotel, opens pool club to visitors over 21

No room? No problem. Everybody is now welcome to take a dip in the funkiest pool in Pigeon Forge. Well, almost everybody.

The Wayback, a groovy, 134-room hotel at 2760 Parkway in Pigeon Forge, is launching The Swim Club. It's a pool club for guests and locals with cocktails to boot. The caveats: You must be over 21 and it's only after 5 p.m.

Just in time for summer, the adults-only club will allow guests and locals to splash in the pool, soak in a hot tub, and have a few cocktails, such as the hotel's signature Pomegranate Paloma or the Summer Bourbon Smash.

If you're not a guest, you'll have to rent a cabana in the evening (5-10 p.m.) for $250, or $185 for two hours. If you're a guest, you can just head down to the pool.

There are four cabanas, each with a 55-inch TV, luxury lounging chairs, and drink and towel service.

A converted Airtstream bar serves up poolside cocktails. Don't worry, there will be some food options to pair with drinks, including tacos, nachos, salsas and elotes.

You can book a room at waybackhotel.com or by calling 865-428-7500.
