Beds were clean and very comfortable!! Hot tub was just right, and the pool and hot tub were very clean. The only thing I would have liked a little better would be the water pressure for the shower. It was okay, just could have been a little better. We were on the 3rd floor so may be the reason. It was very quiet, which was great! We will be back for summer!! Loved this property!!

Throughly enjoyed the stay at Appy Lodge. The afternoon snack of Apple cider and cookies really was nice. The quietness of the location was nice. It is still far away enough away to enjoy the serenity of the Great Smoky Mountains.

Clean room comfortable bed, Patio faces traffic and putt putt golf area. Breakfast is wrapped sausage sandwiches that you microwave and pancakes coffee juice and muffins. Trolley picks you up, walk is about 15 minutes to downtown Gatlinburg to avoid paying for parking. Parking at Abby is included with your room.
