Definitely one of our favorite stays so far. Staff was friendly at check in and check out. Our room was clean and loved that we had our own balcony/patio. Had a beautiful view of the mountains sunrise from our balcony. The only thing missing was a hair dryer in the room as I forgot mine at home. 10/10 would recommend and will be back in the near future!

True Hidden Gem

Quick one night stay before exploring Cades Cove. Older property but very well maintained and very clean! Interactions with staff were at check in and check out and we were greeted with friendly, professional service. Highly recommend this gem in the quiet side of the Smoky Mountains!
