I've been told that the Station Inn MC Resort will not open for the 2012 season. Can anyone confirm this?

It is closed and is not open. But there is Freebornes right next to it at the same milepost 248 Hwy 18. It has a restaurant and motel as well. http://www.freebornes.com/

Good info folks, I appreciate it.

Trip planned and reservations made. With six bikes in the group from around the south, we're meeting in Knoxville. We'll make a hard run from Knoxville to Front Royal in one day, then spend the next 4 days leisurely riding the parkways to Cherokee, then over the mountains to Gatlinburg.

I've taken a lot of notes from the advice for places to stop and see.
