As a history buff, the Inn has a lot. It’s almost like a time capsule rich with local and world events and snapshots into the past with just enough modern amenities. The location is central to everything and the full breakfast cannot be beat. The staff is friendly and helpful. What other place gives you a homemade pastry when you check out? We won’t stay anywhere else

Best hotel im Gatlinburg

We absolutely love this hotel. The charm and history here sets it apart from the rest. Its a perfect location to walk to all that Gatlinburg has to offer. The staff are all very sweet. The front porch is great especially in the winter with the fireplace to keep you warm. The breakfast in the morning is delicious.

Would give 4.5 stars if an option. Loved this hotel! Staff was so kind and helpful. Breakfast was amazing and free! So many cute details. Felt like I was at home. The bead was really comfy. Rocking chairs on the balconies. They even gave us a blueberry muffin/loaf at checkout! I’ll always stay here from now on while in Gatlinburg! The only reason I would take off a half star is because I wish they had mini fridges in the rooms.

The history of the Inn makes it unique. We have wanted to stay here for years but just never did. We definitely will stay again. Our room was an older room and small, but fine for my wife and I. The breakfast was great and staff was as well. The location is perfect for walking downtown. During by the fireplace and reading, talking, and watching the snow fall was great. Free hot chocolate, cider, and coffee is a bonus also. We love Gatlinburg.
