Perfect Family Getaway at The Appy Lodge!

The Appy Lodge in Gatlinburg was perfect for our family of three! The pool was a hit — clean, well-maintained, and just right for our toddler to splash around. The entire lodge was spotless, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We loved the convenient location, close to attractions but tucked away enough to be peaceful at night. The room was spacious, cozy, and super quiet, making bedtime easy for our little one. Plus, the pricing was very reasonable for the quality and amenities offered. It’s a fantastic spot for families, and we can’t wait to come back!

We would definitely stay here again! I’m pretty picky when it comes to cleanliness and was pleased with everything! The beds weren’t the most comfortable but that’s common with hotels so nothing out of expectation. The staff was nice and helpful

Great place to stay!

One of the most coziest hotel I’ve ever stayed at in Gatlinburg. I often have volleyball tournaments at Rocky Top Sports World and it is conveniently close. I was able to rest well and eat well with their continental breakfast. Will be staying there again!

We absolutely loved the Appy Lodge!!! The staff were awesome; very courteous and professional. I liked how it’s associated with the Appalachian Trail and how every room is named after one of the 242 shelters on the Appalachian Trail. Very informative pictures about the history of the Appalachian Trail along the hallways; I read ‘em all. I’ve always loved history. I liked the location. Just inside of Gatlinburg and just far enough away from all the hustle and bustle. Nice quiet spot. Flapjack’s next door is convenient; we did eat breakfast at the hotel Sunday morning. Better variety of breakfast items than most hotels. Our room was nice. I loved the rustic look of the bed, tables, etc. pillows a little soft; kinda aggravated an old racing injury with my neck. That’s ok though. When we come back to Gatlinburg, we WILL be staying here again.
