  • We were very satisfied with our stay. The room was very clean and the staff was very friendly. The location was perfect for walking and joying the attractions in Gatlinburg but far enough off the main road to keep the noise level down.

  • This place was a great place to stay in Gatlinburg. It’s wonderfully decorated with a great Smokey Mountain feel. It’s conveniently located in walking distance to everything you could want to do, which was a huge plus for us. The rooms were very clean and pleasantly decorated. We loved looking out off of the balcony and seeing the mountains and the stream below. We were super happy with how good this place is for the price. We were not disappointed and will be going back again.

  • Loved the location which was within easy walking distance of everything on the strip. Close to many good food choices. Room was clean a good size and comfortable. Loved being able to open the door to the balcony and hearing the creek at night. staff was very friendly. Just an overall great experience. in fact it was so great we’ve already rebooked for our next trip just a week away.

  • I stumbled across this place by accident and I am so glad I did. Look no further this is the perfect place to stay. Close enough to walk to the main strip but far enough away to enjoy the peacefulness.
