I have been staying for years here and unfortunately noticed 2 areas that have been declining. The first is the strong odor of marijuana the last couple years and I believe it is possibly staff. The second is breakfast, it has declined overall.

Out of ALL the hotel/motels I’ve stayed in, in my 56 years this is by far the prettiest, the cleanest, friendliest staff, I could just go on and on! Being able to sit in the tub and enjoy the fire being lit was nothing more than magical! This was our first trip to Sevierville but we have decided that we WILL be back!

Customer service is excellent. Check-in was quick. The room was large, comfortable, and clean. The fresh smell comes from the moment you open the door. No noise, so it was super quiet for relaxing. The breakfast was very good. This was our first time at this hotel, and we'll definitely be back for many more. 100 percent recommended.

The room was spacious,clean,nice balcony and view of the river. The breakfast buffet was the best I have had included with a room,saved us a lot of money. Keke at the front desk was very sweet and always helpful. Everyone was nice and helpful. I will stay there for sure if I visit the area again. The location was great,away from most of the touristy stuff but close enough to drive back and forth. I was to chilly to use the outdoor pool but it looked very nice. Indoor pool was small but I did use the hot tub every evening..
