Excellent weekend stay. Property is well located to enjoy all of the activities Gatlinburg has to offer, but removed from the overly crowded area so you have peace and quiet in the evening. Balcony overlooking the Little Pigeon River provided a welcome respite from the heat of the day. Property is well maintained. Friendly, helpful staff. Very accomodating for my companionndog. Will definitely be back.

It’s a beautiful view of the river from our balcony. I didn’t read the fine print and you do pay for parking each night, you need to pay to park almost everywhere in Gatlinburg. I was wishing our room had a microwave. The room was beautiful and well decorated.

Fantastic!! Loved the balcony on the water the room was spacious and getting in and out with a door code made it a breeze not to keep up with a key. The breakfast was over the top delicious the French toast, blueberry pancakes and coffee was outstanding!! The dinner was even better, hats off to their chef hang on to these people and don't ever let them go!! Stephanie the bartender made us feel extremely welcomed and man can she whip up some fantastic drinks. Mandie was new and she provides outstanding service. Mr. Keith was an exceptional welcome to the property. The only two things I would add/change is WATER in the room. That was a downer, but we managed ourselves. Also parking, is a nightmare space 103 is impossible to get into and getting out was even worse. Great property we will be back in April 2027!

The room was excellent, spotless and in great repair. The only thing missing was a shower curtain that was not required, due to having a large soaking tub with beautiful views of a rolling creek. The on-site Heirloom Restaurant was fantastic and included a full bar with our favorites. The staff were all very friendly and informative. The best was yet to come, the next morning, we enjoyed the free menu ordered breakfast. We will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you all for the best time in Gatlinburg.
