Fire wood should be included
Room was clean and had been remodeled. The bed was a little uncomfortable and hard, would have been nice to have a pillow top mattress. If there is a fireplace in the room I think 1 bundle of wood should be included with the rate. I paid $98 a night and had to purchase fire wood. Or you should get a bundle for however many nights you are staying. Otherwise it wasn’t bad.

An OK Resort
Although breakfast was ok for my husband I couldn’t eat anything because I am gluten free. I wish they had provided some options.

Disappointed
When I booked the room a few months ago. I was under the impression that our room would have a fireplace and be carpeted. WE have stayed here previously and were so happy with our room that we wanted to come back here. Our room was on the ground floor, all the way to the right of the office. The last room on the lower floor, and that was fine. There was LVP flooring that is peaking in the bathroom and will soon need to be replaced. At first glance the room looked clean but upon closer inspection it was not so clean. There were cup rings on the table and weird spots on the floor. The doors, both front and back needed weather stripping installed. There was a constant breeze in the room. The corner where the microwave and coffee maker are smelled of mildew. It was not noticeable at first but every time I opened the fridge it was "stirred up". The first night of our 2 night stay there was a vehicle parked directly in front of our room and it had no parking pass, so we had to park elsewhere. The 2nd night around 2:30a.m. it sounded like someone was banging the doors and dropping things on the floor in the room above us. All in all not a great experience. I will not book online again. I will call to make sure that we get a room that we will enjoy staying in for a few days.

Comfy with a View
We got the Deluxe room. It was huge, with a fireplace. The bed was super comfy and we relaxed on the balcony overlooking a babbling brook. Beautiful setting, comfortable and not expensive. We will never go anywhere else in Gatlinburg @

Good move!
The check in process was very pleasant. The service was polite, fast, and accommodating when needing to change rooms. Changed rooms because my original booking was not ready. They were very quick to get me into a different room. New room was very clean and spacious. Will definitely stay here again! Loved having the balcony along the creek!
