We spent 3 nights and have nothing but good things to say. We had the double queen room , river side, fireplace, and jacuzzi. The room was nicely decorated and the entry door was nice and thick to keep the hallway noise out. We had a nice view of the changing leaves outside on our balcony. The breakfast was nice... more

Spent 2 nights in late September. Nice, clean - w/AAA discount our jacuzzi/fireplace/queen was about $100/nt +taxes. Reasonable for what we got, small balcony overlooks ROARING creek, too noisy to sit out due to rainfall previous wk. Very convenient to everything. VERY NICE breakfast, nice choices, nothing fancy but very adequate. Would def return! more

The hotel is located near the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, and allows you to utilize the Gatlinburg Pass to and from Pigeon Forge/Sevierville. This can save you a lot of time and frustration as traffic through Gatlinburg is a bit of a nuisance. The restaurant is also located next door to two worthwhile restaurants: The Peddler... more

No regrets!

After much research we settled on the Bearskin Lodge. We stayed in a 2 queen room, with a balcony overlooking the wonderful from parking lot. The room was nicely decorated, clean and included every ammentity we needed. The pool was a joke, as many other people have said. We're from Florida though, so swimming in their pool wasn't at the... more

We had some friends meet us here and stayed in an adjoining room for 3 nights. We found both of our rooms to be very clean and comfortable. We... more

The internet site and outside apprearance of the hotel is appealing but misleading. When we stepped out of the elevator I should have left when I saw the dirty carpet and dirt stained walls. The room smelled awful, moldy and mildewy. The walls were yellow stained and the whirl pool tub dirty. Lamp shades broken. The air conditioner made the... more

This is a very nice and clean hotel to stay in. Just off the beaten path (quite) but close enough to walk almost everywhere. We really enjoyed our stay, and will return. more
