I loved being at the hotel, the rooms was clean and I do a check for bed bugs found none not one! View was great. The house keeper was there and I told her about the microwave smelling like burnt wires she called and changed it out. She was really nice joked and went on with us.

It was an ok hotel, nothing special. I don't understand why we received a handicap accessible room, especially when there was no other tenants in our building. We checked in about 6 something on the 7th unpacked and went to The Abby for dinner came back wall unit didn’t work we were tired and went to bed, next day my wife told the office in the morning by time we got baWould we stay again, not sure depending on other prices in the area, or cabins. Just for the rate it was just ok. Nothing fabulous for 223.00 dollars. ck the night of the 8th they had it fixed.

Quiet get away outside GSM National Park.

Quaint classic motel just outside Great Smoky Mountains park. Not fancy, but comfortable and staff was awesome! A very quiet and pleasant alternative to the chaos in Pigeon Forge.

This is a really cute motor lodge-style motel in a beautiful area. Some of the amenities feel outdated (bathroom), but the room was very clean. The bed, however, was horribly uncomfortable. Price felt steep but seemed comparable to other lodging nearby.
