Close to restaurants and shopping. Great Smokey Mountain Railroad Train Depot about a 2 minute drive from their parking lot. The staff is AMAZING! They give you options for your breakfast and serve it exactly the way you want it. The homemade blueberry bread is delicious. You will get a tour of the grounds as soon as you arrive. The rooms are very clean. The whole place is very charming. I highly recommend.

Staff was friendly. They left a cute note and polar express trinket for my daughter on the bed, because they knew we were visiting to ride the Polar Express train ride. True hospitality. The beds were so comfortable.
