Excellent weekend stay. Property is well located to enjoy all of the activities Gatlinburg has to offer, but removed from the overly crowded area so you have peace and quiet in the evening. Balcony overlooking the Little Pigeon River provided a welcome respite from the heat of the day. Property is well maintained. Friendly, helpful staff. Very accomodating for my companionndog. Will definitely be back.

WOW! This is an incredible place to stay. Not only a beautiful location, but the level of hospitality here is top-tier. They greet you upon arrival and show you to your room. Offer to help with EVERYTHING! It is truly an experience unlike any other resort/hotel I have stayed at. You truly feel cared about and valued. Food is amazing in the Heirloom room, and service is just as amazing. Sitting out on our patio (overlooking the river) and reading was my favorite. Listening to the water was peaceful and relaxing. Even when it was time to say goodbye, the staff wanted to say goodbye and offer their gratitude for us staying there. I would stay here over and over if I could! Stay here; you will not regret a minute of it! Thank you again for an unforgettable stay!

It’s a beautiful view of the river from our balcony. I didn’t read the fine print and you do pay for parking each night, you need to pay to park almost everywhere in Gatlinburg. I was wishing our room had a microwave. The room was beautiful and well decorated.
