The best stay in Gatlinburg!

Absolutely stunning hotel! The design is beautifully thought out, blending clean, modern comfort with a cozy mountain ambiance. Our room was spotless and so inviting—we truly loved our stay. The staff were all warm and welcoming, and a special shoutout to Kesha at the bar who made me the best cocktail after a long drive. It was exactly what I needed!

A must stay!

Celebrated our 10th Anniversary here and loved it! Once e arrived and got settled into our premium king room we decided to extend our stay. The premium room wasn’t available so we had to move to a one bedroom suite which is smaller. I wouldn’t select the one bedroom again. Bathroom awkward and bed uncomfortable. The premium king room was superior! Bed was soo comfy and bathroom was huge! Extra pillows and blanket are supplied as well. Continental Breakfast supplies consisted of yogurt, fruit, muffins & cereal, coffee, tea & juices. There are menu options you can purchase which we did and they were good! Restaurant was closed The evenings we were there. I was impressed to see the young gentleman who cleans, on a ladder cleaning the inside of the outdoor lights! Fire pits were lit every morning and night. The staff were all very friendly!! Walking distance to downtown, about 12 minutes. Steep road to walk back up so be mindful. There’s a huge parking lot at the bottom of the road with $10 parking if you don’t want the walk up the hill.

Perfect stay

The room and grounds were extremely clean and exactly as pictured. All of the staff were very responsive and kind. The location is excellent; it's close to everything, but tucked away so that it's quiet. Our room was well-appointed and felt more like a vacation home than a hotel room. Our family would stay here every time we're in the area.
