I like that the property is close to the Smokey mountains so I can hike during the day; as well as a walking distance to restaurants,etc. The hotel itself has a very quiet and peaceful atmosphere which I liked, I very easily fell asleep to the sounds of the river, beautiful.

We stayed for our honeymoon and really enjoyed our stay. The balcony overlooking the river was great and we could walk everywhere we wanted to go so that was great!

It was newly renovated. Everything was nice and clean. And I loved that it had a fireplace because when I was just there it was cold and snowing and the fireplaces added detail to the room as well as an extra means of heat. I also loved the fact it had an balcony

I actually booked the wrong hotel so was very disappointed initially. I was given the opportunity to change but glad I didn't. The Breakfast was Excellent and to get out of the Parking lot to go to Pigeon Forge was the perfect place. It was 1/2 mile walk to town but wasnt bad at all. The Trolley stop was right in front but i never seen anyone use it.
