The desk staff was awesome. Some minor outdoor issues with older broken down chairs that need removed or replaced. The location was great. Close to town but still out of the hustle and bustle. The calming creek area was fabulous and enjoyed by us each day. Would definitely return there to stay

The cabin was so much fun to stay in. There was a bit of a musty smell but considering it was a log cabin I don’t think it was a big deal.

My husband and I enjoyed our 3 night stay here. This place was great for the price. We had a room with a balcony that overlooked the river. The beds were comfortable and the room was spacious and worked for our needs. The room appears outdated, however had floors that were not carpeted which we prefer. We did utilize the pool one day and it was clean and comfortable- not crowded. If we return to the area we will stay here again.

Been to Gatlinburg many times and never seen a bear. Stayed here and saw bears, raccoons, chipmunks and even fish in the creek! Loads of parking spaces, a swimming pool and lots of chairs out to spend a lazy evening next to the creek. Not too far from the shops and restaurants, will definately stay here again!
