This was a great place to stay. Staff was very welcoming and the property was very well kept. The bed was comfortable, the room was spacious and the view from the balcony was phenomenal. Would definitely go back!
The staff was SO helpful when we had difficulties with our flight and rental car! Brookside is a wonderful place to stay, with great amenities, beautiful balcony sceneries, and cozy & cute rooms!
We had a great time at Brookside lodge. We had our 7 year old granddaughter with us and she really had fun. Breakfast was great. I liked it was in a very big room with lots of tables.
Great location. Walking distance to downtown, and trolley stop right out front.
Room had that cozy cabin vibe.
Parking was easy and plentiful.
Breakfast was good and many options! Pancakes, waffles, biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, bagels, cereal, yogurt.
We loved our stay at the Brookside. The balcony looked over the rushing brook that was both beautiful and relaxing. The location of the lodge was a short convenient walk into downtown. The rustic decor of the rooms added to its charm. It was also very affordable with breakfast included. It was a pleasant surprise all around and we look forward to staying again in the future.
Beautiful property staff very friendly room clean rooms beautiful breakfast has alot of choices the pool and hot tub are nice a little cold but its hot there so yo want that also know the bears do come on property so if you want to see bears this is the place to stay
The property was nice and adequate for our stay. It was close to the heart of Gatlinburg so we were able to walk to everything we wanted to see. The staff were very nice and helpful at check-in. We would stay there again.
Everything was perfect from start to finish. The sightings of the black bears behind and in front of our hotel was incredible and the stream running right behind our room was amazing to sit out and listen to. The breakfast is good and the location of the lodge is just up the hill from main attractions. Would definitely do it again
Excellent pool with a waterfalls. Also, a river with rapids borders all the rooms

I had to remind my self I was sharing the space in nature. Rooms was clean inside and lots of nature outside. Had the opportunity to see two bears roaming outside.
What an amazing value for the money ! Staff is friendly and efficient. The room is clean and comfortable. The kids loved the pool because of the slide and waterfall.
