We were here for 3 nights in-between Wisconsin and Florida. It was myself, my husband, and our two children, ages 6 and 10. The southern hospitality was incredible, as was the yummy breakfast in the mornings. The rooms have amazing views, and the fireplace sure makes the room cozy when the temp drops at night. You have to be a... More

The entire room was large enough to use the wheelchair with ease. Micro,fridge,fireplace and HBO. Free breakfast bar with fresh waffles,fruit etc. Staff was polite and helpful. Have already booked our next stay. Walking distance... More

We stayed in room 208, the spa king suite for three nights. Loved it! The room was clean and spacious. Pros: great location, walking distance to most everything in Gatlinburg, private balcony overlooking mountain stream, in-room tub with jacuzzi jets, fireplace, king bed, two LED tvs, wifi, room right next to ice machine and vending machine. Cons: Late night staff... More

I chose this hotel because it was close to the entrance of the national park. We were greeted and checked in by a prompt, friendly staff. They even upgraded us to a king room with a Jacuzzi. They offered a nice continental breakfast. We are not into "commercial Gatlinburg" We were only there to hike and experience nature. We were... More

We stayed at Old Creek Lodge for 3 nights in April and stayed in an Executive Suite Room (in-room whirlpool tub and fireplace with a balcony overlooking the creek). The staff was very friendly and attentive. Breakfast was OK, what you'd expect from a free continental breakfast. The location was fabulous. You could easily walk to everything, but you felt... More

We stayed three nights in room 217. I will give the pros first. The room was clean, nice tiled shower with HOT water, refrigerator and microwave in room. Great location with a small balcony overlooking the creek. The biggest drawback was the garbage truck at 6:30 Friday morning, 6:15 Saturday morning, and 4:30 Sunday morning. At first you hear the...

We arrived on Saturday, April 27 and stayed until Monday, April 29, 2013. The front desk staff was nice on the night we arrived. We checked in and then went to our room on the 2nd floor. The room was nice with two queen beds, nice sized bathroom and beautiful fireplace. The front door needed a little work. When it... More

Spent one night at the Old Creek Lodge while driving through Great Smoky Mountains park. I was still in shock at the heavy commercialism that runs for miles along the entrance highway into the park: chain restaurants, cartoon-character amusement parks, and dozens of shops promoting the "hillbilly" theme. Gatlinburg didn't seem quite as garish as Pigeon Forge(Dolly Parton's hometown), although... More

I stayed in Old Creek Lodge with my boyfriend this past March for Spring Break and I loved it! The staff was very friendly and the room (Executive King) was very clean. The hotel is located about two blocks away from the main street in Gatlinburg (Parkway), so we were able to walk everywhere. I plan on staying here again... More
