Rachele, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Robert, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly staff and we saw the bears from our balcony
Robert, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

Room had plenty of space. As other reviews dead bugs and not clean. Stains on linens and the back patio to the view did not seem safe at all. Was only there one night because our cabin had no openings but would not stay there again. Updated looking photos are correct except it was probably updated years ago and not cleaned since.
Alicia, 1-night trip

This was my 1st time in this area, great views and easy access to the area and just a great experience as well.

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
