Amazing location. Service was terrific. The hotel is truly historic all the way to the phones in the room. We were there during the songwriters convention (lucky circumstance). If you are looking for a great location right in the heart of Gatlinburg I can’t recommend this place enough.

Very clean. Being a historic property it does have a musty smell. I was disappointed that there was no refrigerator. Beds were loud every time you moved. In saying this it is a historic property. I did love the balconies with rocking chairs. The outside is very pretty and well maintained. It is a charming hotel, you just have to give up something’s when staying in a historic hotel.

Close to it all on the parkway. Music nightly compliments of the city of Gatlinburg which we really enjoyed. Pool was amazing and everything on the property was spotless.s. Breakfast is included and was ok. Downside- interior room was dated. Old furniture and set up awkwardly. New bathroom and carpet but rest of as very old. Would stay here again if we come back!
