Edgewater Hotel - Gatlinburg
This was our 4th visit to Gatlinburg and we have never stayed at the same hotel twice, however I can say we will stay at this Edgewater Hotel again. Staff was great, great location and great views. Hotel is just 1 block away from the main road. Just walk across the parking lot and you are there.
