The room was absolutely pristine and cozy. The weekend breakfast was really good. All of the staff we met was very friendly and helpful. The bathroom was on the small side but it wasn’t an issue. My family would definitely stay here again.

A very cute and simple motel that is conveniently located away from the busy area but just across the street from the free trolley so it was easily accessible. The weekend breakfast was delicious and the staff were very friendly. We enjoyed sitting and watching the water off of our balcony and all of the fireflies in the evening.

I enjoyed my room immensely The bed was so comfortable felt like sleeping like on a cloud. I really enjoyed the patio where you could sit and listen to the creek and look at the wildlife. The shower was a good spray I also took a bath when I first got there with some Epsom salts so I enjoyed the fact I could do both. I didn't take advantage of the coffee at 8:30 but right across the street there was coffee at 7:00 in the morning also a very nice restaurant kitty cornered from the place The proprietor was conscientious and helpful and very welcoming excellent customer service

Great place stay. Family owned and run by them. The beds are comfortable with 4 pillows, nice back porch to sit on and view the river. They also have a nice pool and pinic area. The trolly stop is right across the street and it's free. It's quiet at night too. Definitely a great place stay, would recommend a 1000 times over :)

older style motel. rooms were very clean and some updates. Mike was extremely helpful and we enjoyed our stay as we were far enough from the busy town but trolley stop across the street made it convenient so no need to worry about parking. Breakfast is only on weekends but pancake house across the street. would stay there again.

stayed for two nights with a friend. It was a late booking. Loved the location. Rooms are cozy and large TV. Clean. Not very large but for what you pay, they are really good. Location of the motel is great! Close to Gatlinburg downtown and all the major attractions. Easy parking. Pizza, Icecream across the street. ONe of the unique features of the restaurant is the breakfast. I believe it's only available over weekends. BUT - it's freshly made/cooked in front of you. It's not unlimited but fresh and tasy. Gives you a tavern kind of feeling. We enjoyed our stay. Thankyou.
