We've tried hard to make Tippity Top feel like a home away from home, so your packing list doesn't need to be long. Here's a helpful starting point — the things worth tossing in the car.
What to bring
Personal toiletries — toothbrush, toothpaste, razors, deodorant, and any specialty products you prefer. (Good news: we provide shampoo and conditioner — see below.)
Clothing for all kinds of mountain weather. Layers are your best friend up here — even midsummer evenings on the ridge can be surprisingly cool.
Groceries and drinks for your stay. We recommend stocking up in Sevierville or Pigeon Forge on the way up — check our Groceries & Pharmacy section for our favorite stops.
A good book (or three) for a rainy afternoon on the porch swing.
Phone chargers and cables — we do provide these, but they have a mysterious habit of disappearing with previous guests...
Charger note: We stock iPhone and Android charging cables in every bedroom, but they're the one amenity that consistently goes home with guests. Pack your own as a backup — you'll thank yourself.
What we provide
This is by no means an exhaustive list — we've tried to cover the essentials so you don't have to haul everything up the mountain. Here's what you'll find waiting for you:
Shampoo and conditioner in every shower
Body wash / bar soap
Toilet paper
Hand soap in every bathroom
Hair dryers
Bed linens and bedspreads
Bath towels, hand towels, and hot tub towels
Dishwasher tablets
Oven gloves and basic cooking supplies
Dishes, glasses, and cookware
A few things you might not expect
We've tried to think outside the box — the little things you realize you need once you're already here:
Phone charging cables for all iPhone and Android devices — in every bedroom and the kitchen
HDMI cables plugged in on the back of both main TVs
USB wall chargers in all bedrooms and the kitchen
Chip clips — because someone always needs a chip clip
If you arrive and wish something was here, please tell us! We genuinely want to know. It might already be in a drawer — or it might make the list for the next guests.
