We were there on pick season and we had not booked anything before reaching there due to uncertainity or unplanned visit. Room was cozy but with kitchen. Not very attractive but really good for price. I may consider it again if any unplanned visit there and need to stay just for a night.

We originally made reservations by phone and were quoted 45$ per night for a two bedroom cabin for four nights.Upon arrival we found the cabin to be clean and comfortable but very dated and a little run down. Despite what their site said it was not within walking distance to downtown Gatlinburg or the trolley. Considering the price we stayed... More

Pros: price, service, location, bubbling sound of the Roaring Forks, full kitchen, free internet Cons: a little run down, dirty dishes & stained bath towels If you're touring the Smokies and don't want to stay on Gatlinburg's chaotic, loud strip, this is a great spot. Located at the terminus of the Roaring Forks Motor trail, you can pay an extra... More

When we first pulled into the parking lot, it was not at all what I expected. The property, while older than some of the places to stay in Gatlingburg, was well maintained. The cottages were smaller than I had anticipated but very quaint. The main thing is they were very clean. When we checked in the Manager had a list... More

Multiple problems with this establishment! We rented a cabin with a jacuzzi. The cabin did not have sufficient hot water to heat it properly and maintain temperature. Fireplace did not have matches. I called office and the manager brought down a pack with 4 matches left in it. Of course, with a damp flue, the 4 matches weren't enough and... More

A very inexpensive place to stay for those looking for value. It's a bit on the dated side but had a fridge, coffee machine and cable television. We were there to see the GSMNP so the surroundings of the hotel weren't that important. Contrary to some of the reviews I read, the staff was quite helpful to me, even offering... More

When they say "off the beaten path" they mean off the beaten path and headed straight into hickville. The "close trolley stop" is actually about 3 blocks away from the hotel and that's a walk straight through an area that you should probably be carrying mace through. By the time you even get to the trolley stop, you're in downtown.... More

We stayed in one of the cottages here for two nights at the end of June. We asked to see it before paying, because the area seemed pretty run down. The cottage was very simple, with 2 double beds and the option of using the kitchen for ten dollars more each day. The room was clean, so we stayed, and... More
