I liked the cabin, mountain feel with the convenience of a hotel. The breakfast could be better (mostly carb options) but I would stay here again.

We've stayed here twice now and will continue to come back. It's a little further out than staying right downtown but still walkable and a little quieter. The place is very welcoming and homey. We love it.

This property is in between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Minutes in either direction and you are there. Nice to stay in a cabin themed room without cabin prices. Clean pool indoor- nice hot tub! Clean parking lot- clean building. Fun decor.

Outstanding hotel! Enjoyed a 3 night stay this week and room was very clean, comfortable, quiet. Free breakfast was a pleasant surprise when the Expedia listing doesn’t show that as being offered. Parking was always easy too even at 10-11p. Location can’t be beat and I appreciated being at the start of town making the trip to Pigeon Forge for dinner every night super easy (Local Goat is A++++). My only complaint is room 324 the air conditioner unit needs cleaning/maintenance, had a slight mildew smell and I had to run the unit at night since the windows wouldn’t open and the muggy factor was high - I came home with a sinus infection unfortunately. But otherwise lovely hotel, would absolutely stay again!
