The location is good and only a short walk to the parkway and the main attractions of Gatlinburg. It's an older facility but good value for families. The staff was friendly and helpful. The main draw for us was the balcony overlooking Bear Creek. The room was dated but clean. The only minor criticism is the lack of table and chairs for eating/sitting found in other similar units in the area. But overall a great experience for our family of 3 for the long weekend. Would consider this location again when we go back to the area.

Property was clean and we saw a bear twice during our visit! Located right near the trolley stop for easy access to downtown without having to deal with parking fees, or was close enough to easily walk also.

Great place
The balcony was so cute and view of the creek was lovely. The fridge worked well and the clean towels were nice. The tiles in the entry way were a little scuffed up but the staff was great! We'll definitely be back. It's right in Gatlinburg so very walkable to sites and downtown.

This little hidden gem is my favorite place to stay in Gatlinburg. The creek behind the property is soothing and this time of year the bear activity is abundant. Such a perfect place to get away, and the Parkway shopping is only a ten minute walk. Best of both worlds.

What a lovely hidden gem. All the rooms had balconies that overlook the creek so you dont have to worry about that. Check in wqs seamless and friendly. And let me just say those beds were the most comfortable beds ive ever slept in at home or in a hotel. Alittle sad i didn't spot a bear but thats not their fault
