We stayed at Wilderness at the Smokies – River Lodge Suites last weekend and had a great experience. The room was clean and comfortable, the staff was friendly, and the resort had plenty of fun activities for the whole family. We had no issues during our stay, and everything went smoothly.

When it was free to go to soaky mountain, the wilderness was totally worth it. Now, they only give a discounted price. So, just stay anywhere and drive to soaky instead of paying the extra price at the wilderness!

Our bunk bed room was great, kids loved it. The only downside was the pools and game center took us awhile to figure out where everything was located, pool lockers way to expensive.
