All the surroundings smell to dog’s poop, is more like a dog place than a family place. Showers with the one hand faucet is the worst! Come on , if you are saving a lot of money on other things and charging the same of more as the inn Christmas hotel (breakfast included) consider to allow guests to take a normal shower and brush the teeth normal! This is the second time we tried the place because of my Son, but to be honest is not worth the high price for that kind of experience, I know you want to make it look like a camping but for 350+ a night, at least we deserve to take a decent shower, and should place signs everywhere to make people to pick up after their dogs.

Under Canvas was an excellent glamping experience. The property is very well maintained and has all necessities. The interiors in the tents are well planned and made the stay comfortable and peaceful. The shared bathrooms were clean. Staff is sweet and friendly. I would definitely recommend to book this place without any hesitation.

Thought I'd try something different. The concept is unique, but the actual tent is a little spartan for my taste. I don't care about living out of the suitcase with no place to hang cloths up. No cell phone signal or internet but they at least tell you that. Pretty costly for what is offered. Just not my cup of tea but others may enjoy the lifestyle and being so remote. The staff was terrific, and the public shower area was clean and pleasant. The kitchen and dining looked nice but I didn't dine there. I hadn't been to Gatlinburg area for many years, and it is a real tourist trap now. I won't be back.

Disappointing stay.

This place calls itself a small luxury hotel. No luxury here. We had a suite - the amenities/furniture on the website are not what you get. No daily housekeeping. Apparently, it's available at the guests' requests, but no-one informed us of that. Room seemed dirty and we even wondered if the sheets were fresh at arrival. The staff is clueless in terms of service. No internet so you have to ask for advice, but most have no knowledge of local area. Restaurant is basic. No eco-water bottles. The drive is 30 mins to the national park and not much to do at the property. It could be wonderful with a caring, knowledgeable staff, internet at least in the common area so that one can plan activities outside of the camp, having a yoga instructor or hiking guide on site, better restaurant offerings. At a minimum, each room should have a map of the national park and a handbook of what is available to do in the Smoky Mountains since there is no internet available. I could go on. Very disappointing.
