Great place in Gatlinburg just away from the crowds and yet feeling like caving in the woods. Parking and breakfast was convenient. No daily room service is the only downside

My wife and I had a wonderful stay. We really enjoyed the quiet on‑site bar with its great drink selection and ended up visiting every night except Sunday when it was closed. The restaurant was only open for breakfast during our stay, which was a bit confusing, but not a deal‑breaker. We loved that the property is tucked away from downtown yet still close enough to enjoy everything. Overall, it was a great experience and we’d happily stay again.

Excellent hotel, spacious and convenient!
I was really impressed with how clean and roomy the accommodations were. Having individual air conditioning in each room was a huge plus, and they did not skimp on the towels! The location is perfect for sightseeing since it is close to the national park and the city center. Would definitely stay here again.

It was an amazing stay. We had everything we needed and more. The space is great for a family of 4-5. We stayed in the two-room suite and the beds were spacious for two teens and a couple. The living room had a sofa that could be used by one adult.
The shower and restroom is spacious and clean.
The daily continental breakfast is good and the best place to see bears walk throughout the property. Every morning we got to see bears, it was a dream.
Make sure you lock your cars, as the bears are great at opening doors, as the paw prints on our car pointed out.
In the back there is an area for some outdoor games, but be aware of bears!
The location is optimal, as it is close enough to the city, but far from tourists noise and traffic.
Loved Pam and her team, very professional and friendly. She's always there and ready to help or chat about the bears.
We loved our stay there and even extended it another night. We can't wait to vacation there next year.

No bar, no staff out of season but great accommodation and easy parking.
For one night it was good. A breakfast when in season would be great.

Beautiful place, super clean, very comfortable. We love that is pretty close to the town but it makes you feel in a cabin in the middle of the woods but with cute amenities.

Wonderful stay! I highly recommend checking this local gem out. Within walking distance to downtown but just far enough away to have the quiet. Beautiful rooms, comfy beds, great continental breakfast. We will be staying again. Perfect for couples or small families.

Nice place was exactly what I pictures showed. Only problems were they didn’t disclose lounge was closed for season until after booked and fire pits were not turned on. Would stay again. Walking distance from the strip(wouldn’t walk down the hill it’s on) but far enough and isolated from the busy area, weird how both things can be true. Feels like a cabin in the woods with hotel amenities.
