“The focus here is family, with suites ready to accommodate larger broods after a day exploring the nearby national park. I like that you can wander down to the river or gather around the outdoor fire pits. With Dollywood and Ripley's Aquarium close by, it's a handy base for Gatlinburg adventures.”

This hotel had its ups and downs. I loved the warm, welcoming vibe from the staff, who genuinely seemed to care about our happiness. The location was fantastic, making it easy to explore Gatlinburg without the hustle and bustle. However, we faced some issues with cleanliness and had to deal with cold showers, which were disappointing given the price we paid. Overall, it could use some improvements.
