We were pleasantly surprised by how nice this hotel was! The only small complaint is the elevator wasn’t always adequate for the amount of folks there. But we loved the hotel, our room was very nice, perfect for a short 4 day trip to Gatlinburg for a tournament with our kids.

Room was clean, cozy and comfy. The provided breakfast was a nice touch as were the firepits, the indoor pool and hot tub. The staff was friendly and helpful with various suggestions. Overall my stay was pleasant. I would book again in the future. Worth noting, my visit was during the winter so I did not experience the outdoor pool/slide area but it appeared to be clean and well kept.

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.
