This property is in between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Minutes in either direction and you are there. Nice to stay in a cabin themed room without cabin prices. Clean pool indoor- nice hot tub! Clean parking lot- clean building. Fun decor.

When I first walked in the room, there was a humidifier running in the room that was full of water and needed to be emptied which I did. They did not tell me beforehand it would be there. But would have been nice to know so I could have changed rooms.

We've stayed here twice now and will continue to come back. It's a little further out than staying right downtown but still walkable and a little quieter. The place is very welcoming and homey. We love it.

I stayed at this hotel for easy access to Great Smoky mountains National Park and I will definitely return to this hotel in the future. I was there for about a week, and the national park is so big I did not have time to finish all the hiking trails which were beautiful. Room was very comfortable and quiet and clean. Main shopping, dining area of Gatlinburg is within walking distance and took about 10 minutes to get to.
