No bar, no staff out of season but great accommodation and easy parking.
For one night it was good. A breakfast when in season would be great.

Our stay was overshadowed largely by it being an active construction zone by day and the stillhouse being closed for the season, none of the fire pits worked, the room was nice but the experience wasn’t. It’s a convenient location and relatively easy to navigate to downtown and even walk weather permitting.

Beautiful place, super clean, very comfortable. We love that is pretty close to the town but it makes you feel in a cabin in the middle of the woods but with cute amenities.

We had the most amazing stay here for the weekend! Kesha was the sweetest during our time there. She made the most exceptional drinks I’ve ever had! The room we stayed in was so nice! It was a little slice of heaven tucked away in the smokies. We will definitely be planning another trip back soon!

Wonderful stay! I highly recommend checking this local gem out. Within walking distance to downtown but just far enough away to have the quiet. Beautiful rooms, comfy beds, great continental breakfast. We will be staying again. Perfect for couples or small families.

Only downside is trolley doesnt come near this hotel. From what i heard out side a fellow customer with the staff was very good. If you hate the front desk at hotels this is a great option.
