The Appy Lodge was a great find! The location was perfect for us as we wanted to be close, but not in the middle of the "busy-ness" of Gatlinburg. Amenities were great! The pool was heated as advertised and the hot tub was avaliable for use. Breakfast items were plentiful and satisfying. Our room was spacious and clean. Loved the stone shower!! We will definitely stay at the Appy Lodge again.

This place was excellent. The staff were super friendly and helpful with recommendations. The room was clean and spacious, and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was very tasty with several options to choose from. A highlight was the parking pass they offer for downtown parking.
