Perfect getaway spot!

Perfect location! Very clean and GREAT views from the balcony. Will definitely stay here from now on. It is located at the far end of Gatlingburg, so if you want to miss all the traffic, the bypass is the perfect way to travel back and forth to Pigeon Forge.

Nice to sit by water. Relaxing. Very short walk to Main Street amenities. Quiet. Day shift front desk very nice. Bare bones clean hotel. Breakfast minimal. Priced accordingly and have low expectations.

I liked how the front desk lady let us switch rooms bc it didn’t have a bathtub and it ended up being right by the water. The room was super clean and nice and I liked how it had a balcony. The room was spacious which was good since we have two toddlers. The breakfast wasn’t the best as they only had waffles and some muffins/bread/ some fruit but if you aren’t big on breakfast it will work for you. I recommend if you’re only staying 1-2 nights
