Top Cataract Falls Hotel Reviews

Glenstone Lodge

8/10 Good

"Great place, I could tell it was an older place, by room interior. Could use update. BIG plus was indoor pool!!"

Bearskin Lodge on the River

8/10 Good

"It’s very convenient to Gatlinberg and Smoky Mountain National Park. It shows its age and there is no place to gather with your group (of 4, even). Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Expensive for the rooms"

Embassy Suites By Hilton Gatlinburg Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We had such a great stay! The 3 pools (1 indoor, 2 outdoor) and the hot tub were a great highlight for our children. The 2 firepits and 2 corn hole games also were a big hit! The hotel backs up to a wooded hill so it feels like you are tucked away on a mountainside, but in reality you are less than a mile from Gatlinburg's main attractions. Such a great find for us and we will be back!"

The Timber at Holly Branch

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay far away from main road and quiet highly recommend"

Gatlinburg Town Square

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean, and very accessible to the national park"

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Gatlinburg Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean and spacious. Staff was great, breakfast was good , commissary was stocked and reasonably priced. The hotel is a bit off the main drag and can be a little hard to see, I did miss it once. This is the only hotel I have ever been charged for parking than wasnt valet parking. Not sure if all the Hotels in Gatlinburg charge for parking but $45.00 to park for 3 days is a bit much for seniors like us. I will definitely look closer at that next time. That would be a deal breaker. Hotel is nice and quite, which is more than I can say for some of the others we stayed at this trip."

Quality Inn Creekside - Downtown Gatlinburg

8/10 Good

"Great job! Family couldn’t have been happier"

Reagan Resorts Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Room was nice, bed was comfy..close to the downtown things to do..shower head worked awesome"

Sidney James Mountain Lodge

8/10 Good

"The outdoor pool was right across from our room! It was very nice and the perfect temp!"
