8/10 Good
"Really unique hotel tucked away on the mountain. Great price for what it’s worth. The room was nothing special, could use some updating, but it was clean and relaxing. I was disappointed with how the hotel photos portray a river running behind the hotel, but doesn’t show the parking lot and adjacent hotel directly across the other side, but non the less, the sounds of the river are very tranquil and if you walk to the edge of the property, there are two stone walkways that lead down to the actual river and that area is very beautiful. The pool and hot tub are really awesome. Didn’t get a chance to try the restaurant but I heard it’s pretty good overall we would totally choose to stay there again!"

"This was our third or fourth trip to the hotel. The room was clean, location, obviously very convenient with being just a few steps away from Gatlinburg strip. Unfortunately they cannot get the restaurant together… We tried to give it another go our last visit and it seems as though they can just not get staff or train staff properly. There were maybe five or six other patrons and one bartender he could not keep up. Honestly, I felt bad for him. Hopefully they will get some staff in there and have them trained properly. After that, we didn’t even try to eat dinner there. As we have eaten there twice before, and the food was definitely not aligned with the hotel. The first time I ordered a chicken pasta entrée it was literally a lump as it was all stuck together and mushy not to mention cold we did bring close attention to the manager. I took one bite of the food and they did not comp it. I’m sure we will be back there in a few months, but unfortunately, our dinner/drinks will be had elsewhere"
