They have a nice outdoor pool, the sound of the creek is nice and relaxing. The breakfast was pretty good. Its only about a 10 minute walk to downtown and there is a trolly stop out front that is free to ride. While there we got to see a bear right outside!

We liked being out of the busy part of Gatlinburg but still being very close to the busy part. The staff was very nice. The room was older but clean. The best part was the brook out the back door. You can hear the rushing water from inside the room and it was relaxing to sit on the back porch area beside the brook. The breakfast was good. The event center where breakfast was self-served was very nice. It was very quiet inside and outside the room.
