My family genuinely enjoyed this property during our stay in Gatlinburg. Its location made it easy to walk just about anywhere, and we even spotted three bears while we were there. We’ll absolutely be booking again.

Close enough to everything Gatlinburg has to offer but far enough away that it is nice and quiet. Remodeled rooms right on the creek with a private balcony made this a great getaway with very fair prices especially for a tourist area.

Great place to stay! It is our go to for trips to the smokies! However the water pressure could be a little better and a full size mirror in the room couldn't hurt! Other than that we had a great stay
