The room overlooked a stream out back which was nice. There was a lot of moisture in the room it felt like you were walking on damp floors. I think a dehumidifier would benefit the hotel. The staff was nice the location was nice I would recommend

Hotel was super clean and beds were extremely comfortable. A short walk to the strip but the balcony provides a quiet, serene feel and every room faces the creek. I'd definitely stay again.

The hotel was exactly what they advertised. Every room had a small private porch overlooking a creek that bubbled merrily. On the other side of the creek were trees so it seemed like we were out in the wilderness when really we were a short walk from downtown Gatlinburg. Everything was very clean and the room had a mini-fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. It does not have a swimming pool or breakfast so if those are important to you then chose a different place.
