We've stayed here twice now and will continue to come back. It's a little further out than staying right downtown but still walkable and a little quieter. The place is very welcoming and homey. We love it.

I stayed at this hotel for easy access to Great Smoky mountains National Park and I will definitely return to this hotel in the future. I was there for about a week, and the national park is so big I did not have time to finish all the hiking trails which were beautiful. Room was very comfortable and quiet and clean. Main shopping, dining area of Gatlinburg is within walking distance and took about 10 minutes to get to.

Great location

Excellent location, restaurant on one side and miniature golf on the other. Quiet. Nice rooms. It's a beautiful lodge and really liked the rustic decor. Stayed here before and no negative experiences other than I was told they had breakfast at 7:00, but for whatever reason, the lights were off and no one had prepared anything that I saw.

Hot tub and water slide were both out of service during our stay but it wasn't a big deal. We stayed in Gatlinburg the whole time pretty much. Got breakfast before we checked out. It was good.

Beautiful lodge and very cozy. Great views from all sides of hotel ,clean and modern. Only grievance was the man at the front desk was cold and stern when I was checking in , and there was mold in the shower ... something you don't expect at a stay like this . But nothing too serious from not booking here again in the future.
