Check in was wonderful, very polite staff, river view very peaceful and pretty, room was clean, and quiet, bed comfortable, the onlly thing didn't have in the room was a microwave. Heirloom Room Restaurant and Bar just a few feet of the Inn was amazing.

A lovely room with a large porch overlooking the river. Rockers to relax on. A cozy fireplace to warm the room on a cool night. The heater in the bathroom was a pleasant surprise! Definitely recommend this place!

Amazing views out the back balcony of the roaring river. Gatlinberg is a bit chaotic and it was nice to come back to the tranquil room and listen to the river with a nightcap. Never heard another soul.

I was looking for a nice quiet room to stay for a trip to the GRSM. This place was great! As a camper, it was a nice change to have a beautiful natural scene out the back balcony and then the comfort of 4 walls and a bed without sleeping rough. What a treat! Close to the park. Gatlinburg a bit much for me but looks like it would be great for families and couples. Room was well furnished and the staff was friendly. Would recommend!

Amazing room with a great view of the river. Would definitely stay again.

The rooms were great!! Even though it is located on a busy street, you couldn’t hear much of the traffic outside. The view along the creek makes you forget you are in downtown Gatlinburg. Would stay here again.

10/10

My stay was only overnight, but it couldn’t have been any more perfect. From the helpful and kind innkeeper to the large shower and king size comfortable bed, the evening could have been any better. My advice, make reservations for the connecting restaurant. Dinner and drinks with a minutes walk is what I’m now expecting from all my vacation lodging. Thank you for helping me make my partners birthday special. 😊

AMAZING!!! Everything about this place was top notch... The cutest hotel room, and the balcony over the river was the GREATEST!!! Walking distance to everything was an added bonus! The check in process was great, and curbside!! We will be coming here again!!!

4/10

This hotel is a far cry from luxurious as their website states. The bathroom had no working fan, the vanity is in direct conflict with the entry door, the AC unit was blocked with a wood cover that restricted airflow, there were cobwebs on the balcony, no ice machines, and last but not least the parking is horrendous on a heavily traveled road. This will be an anniversary we won't soon forget.

So wonderful! The Inn is away from the main street, but still in the middle of everything. Amazingly quiet though. Beautiful river outside the door. Warm fireplace. Really a gem. Great staff. We felt pampered! Wonderful stay in the beautiful Smokeys!
