Rustic mountain resort with splashy amenities
The 70-acre Westgate Smoky Mountain Resort and Spa looks more like a rustic mountain lodge than a hotel. Most of the suites come with riverside or mountain views, along with full kitchens. The adjacent Wild Bear Falls water park has a lazy river, slides and plenty of kid-centric fun. Barbecue is on the menu at the on-site Westgate Smokehouse Grill, and appetizers and drinks are served at the Mason Jar Lounge. There is a full spa.
Highlights
  • Suites have views and full kitchens and some have fireplaces and whirlpool tubs
  • Adjacent water park with lazy river and slides
  • Full spa offers hot stone massages, manicures, pedicures and facials

A Great Place to Stay!

Our family just needed a few days to get away and relax! The room was a big surprise...private bedroom and pullout couch in a livingroom with a gas fireplace. The kitchen is stocked with utensils and such, and there's even a washer/dryer combo...all with the amenities of a resort. There are larger lodges, but for two adults and two kids, this was perfect...much more than you'd get from a hotel room at the same price.

Worst hotel experience of my life

Don't be misled by the pictures online. I walked into my room and was stunned to see how tiny it was for the amount I was paying to stay there. Right after checking in I was given a tour by a hotel employee that was so unnecessary and irritating I was ready to explode. She then followed us into our room and walked us through twenty-some brochures for cheesy tourist attractions as if we were illiterate and incapable of reading them ourselves, followed by the obligatory "hold-your-hand-out-like-your-shaking-hands-and-being-friendly-but-really-you're-asking-for-a-tip" move. To get into my room, you had to walk through a door that essentially led into a small hallway with a washer/dryer (that we shared with another room) and a doorway into someone else's room. That meant that whenever someone was coming or going from the other room, you would hear not one but two doors slam. The cleaning crew arrived every morning promptly at 7:00 AM and wheeled their loud plastic-wheeled carts around on the cement floors just outside our window to clean the room of whatever guest had just left. If you were planning on sleeping in on your vacation, you can forget about that. Slamming doors, washer/dryers, and cart wheels on concrete will be all you hear. If you're into tremendously gaudy pictures of the hotel's owner doing a shameless self-promotion by posting a giant autographed picture of himself with the 100% plastic 100% classless Dolly Parton, then by all means get a room here. However, if you go to the mountains for relaxation, privacy, and comfort, I would look elsewhere. I will NEVER stay at a Westgate Hotel again.

Good luck driving to Gatlinburg in October. We sat on the highway for an hour before turning around. I would just walk.

Perfect hiking/wedding anniversary trip

This is our 12th trip to The Smokies, and this was our favprite place to stay. It's a hidden gem in the national park and the trolley system runs from the resort to anywhere you might want to go.This was the smallest room but it was the only one left when booking. The plan is to stay longer next time and stay in a bigger room. The resort is wonderful and the staff is very friendly and helpful!

If you plan to eat anywhere in Gatlinburg quickly, you must get there by 5 or 5:30PM. Any later than that and you will be waiting at least an hour. Use the trolley system for traveling to town. It's only .50 cents and no parking headaches or fees.

Wow! This place is amazing.

This resort was incredible. We stayed in 9 higher-end hotels on our south-east family vacation and this was by far the nicest. The resort is actually a timeshare location that offers vacant rooms for hotel guests. The suite was huge with a full-sized, fully equipped kitchen, living room with fireplace and balcony, and large bedroom with in-room hot tub (to our surprise). The complex is immense with dozens of buildings, several pools, a small grocery, restaurant, spa, concierge service for tickets/tours and (at an extra cost) a large indoor water park. The setting is charming, crawling up the side of a wooded hill. Location is outside of town, between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, which we found to be a quiet retreat from the chaos of the two towns, but you will need to drive or take a trolley to either town.

Great Vacation - great place

Great resort - has everything you need. Do not have to leave. Water park is great for smaller kids. Our cabin was not as small as the reviews say, Very roomy & nice. If you have a handicap or are older - specify room as this cabin had 2 stairways to the unit.

INCREDIBLE!!!

I have traveled alot in the last few years and this hotel/resort completely amazed me. The quiet rooms were spotless and decorated according to the theme of the hotel. The pools were in great shape. The service was second to none!! (they deliver pizza from the on-site resturant on a golf cart!!)..the location is perfect for Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and the Smokey mountains!! From now on anytime we visit the area this is where we are going to stay!!

Good Vacation

It was good overall. The room we stayed in had an adjoining door to another room and the people over there were loud. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The waterpark is great. Good location!
