Brookside Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at the Brookside Lodge for a short weekend in the smokies. We were greeted with the sweetest front desk staff and a thank you gift for staying with them. Our room was clean and everything was in working condition. This hotel is within walking distance to most attractions. It was quiet at this location and there is even a trolley stop right in front of the hotel if you’re unable to walk very far. We will be returning to this location on our next trip to the smokies. I would also like to add that out of every location we’ve stayed at in the past this is the only place where the pictures on the site are exactly what you get when you show up. Overall it’s a great location to stay."

10/10 Excellent
"We LOVED this resort. The room was spacious, clean, and such a cool vibe. The overall property was gorgeous, and unique. We loved the putt putt, as well as the bonfire pit at night. My son also loved the arcade. This resort is very close to the Smoky mountains which was perfect. Our only complaint was the walls are very thin and we were able to hear our neighbors on both sides very clearly."
