Had an amazing stay. All the staff were kind and very attentive if we needed anything. The room was clean. The view was outstanding. We were able to easily walk to the busy downtown area of Gatlinburg. The attached Heirloom Room restaurant was delicious for both breakfast and dinner, highly recommend. Very nice little boutique hotel, if we head back to Gatlinburg, this is where we will be staying.

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.

We highly recommend! The hotel sits right on the river. It is absolutely beautiful. We sat outside on the balcony each morning and evening. We even saw a gorgeous bear meandering on the other side of the river. The staff were very nice and friendly and made the check in and check out process very simple. Whenever we needed something-the staff was right on it to take care of it. They have a quaint restaurant with indoor and outdoor dining. While we didn’t eat breakfast there they had some good choices to start the day. We did have dinner on their outdoor patio-which also is next to the river. Dinner was excellent and our server Mandy was just the nicest and very helpful with explaining all of the choices on the menu. In addition the hotel is very convenient to the downtown area. You can walk to all of the places within minutes, and driving to the mountains only takes a few minutes as well. We also loved how quiet the hotel area was, especially with it being an adults only property. Thank you for making our stay so pleasant. We will definitely stay again when in the Gatlinburg area.

WOW! This is an incredible place to stay. Not only a beautiful location, but the level of hospitality here is top-tier. They greet you upon arrival and show you to your room. Offer to help with EVERYTHING! It is truly an experience unlike any other resort/hotel I have stayed at. You truly feel cared about and valued. Food is amazing in the Heirloom room, and service is just as amazing. Sitting out on our patio (overlooking the river) and reading was my favorite. Listening to the water was peaceful and relaxing. Even when it was time to say goodbye, the staff wanted to say goodbye and offer their gratitude for us staying there. I would stay here over and over if I could! Stay here; you will not regret a minute of it! Thank you again for an unforgettable stay!
