Easy location to downtown. Price a little high but it’s in the middle of very touristy area.

This was a great place to stay! It was close enough to walk to downtown Gatlinburg and still felt distant enough to be fairly quiet.

The property was close but not to close with the trolley stop just out front of the hotel. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean. They had a complimentary breakfast that was decent.

Mountain stay

The hotel is a bit off the strip. The walkway to the room is a ramp that is not smooth, it needs to be redone. The beds were not the best, the sheets were so thin you could see the mattress underneath. The porch next to the stream was a great way to relax at night.

Lovely, comfortable rooms. Convenient to drive into Gatlinburg and calmer without as much traffic. Love the creek with the porch overlooking. Staff was very professional and helpful.

2 pools . One for kids to go wild in and one to quietly float about. Plus a lovely brook outside the back door balcony. beautiful convention hall that would be a lovely wedding. Located slightly outside all the noise of downtown; which was a plus for us
