If you're familiar with Gatlinburg then you know finding somewhere to stay can be tricky. The traffic can be brutal. This was a great pick, a little off the main stretch but not far, very close and walkable, but far enough that you could drive off without getting trapped in the traffic. You could go the back way and get to the bypass without hitting the main road traffic at all. Right on a the creek so it had a nice view and you could see the Ober Gatliberg ride too. Room was clean and comfortable.

Perfect family vacation!
We loved everything about our stay!! The staff was super friendly, breakfast was good and easy to take back to the room, and the view of the river is just gorgeous! We stayed over the 4th of July weekend and we able to watch the fireworks from our balcony! The hotel is literally 1 block off the strip and the tram to Ober Gatlinburg is right on the corner! They also have fruit infused water and cookies in the afternoon! We would definitely stay here again!

Great place!
The rooms are a little outdated but clean! Love that there is no carpet in the rooms. Staff was friendly. Pool area was clean and the water was warm! Breakfast was adequate and the coffee was delicious. The best thing is the location! Located just off the main parkway…close enough to walk everywhere but very quiet. Would definitely stay again.

Great service.
This is a nice little hotel with really wonderful staff. The pool is small and near the road, not very private; so if that is important you you this may not be the place for you. The room was very quite and clean, the location is very convenient and easy to walk around from. The breakfast options are minimal, but there is always coffee available.

The hotel room was beautiful but not clean. I found a clump of hair at the foot of the bed, an old coffee stirrer and dirt behind the dresser. The view was great, the room spacious and quiet.

We took a last minute trip of the weekend of July 4th and this hotel was perfect!! We were greeted by friendly staff who were very helpful. I left a brand new pair of running shoes in our room and they arranged for my shoes to be shipped back to me!! So nice to know that I’m not out $160 for some new shoes.
