We stayed here for a couple days during the week in Oct. It was quite, we had our own balcony to sit outside and play cards and have a few drinks listening the the creek next too us. The property is older but it was clean and the staff was great! It is also very close to a trolley stop at the main road. Nice way to get around the town without driving and a very short walk.

Very clean room overlooking beautiful creek, nice and relaxing. Very quiet except for the parking being so close to the room, loud when neighbors leave early, starting vehicles right outside your door. Found a couple little maintenance issues which we reported to the front desk as we checked out. Staff was very helpful. All in all, a very good stay for the price!
Staff were super helpful. The room was clean. We had an amazing time.

It's so close to the hustle and bustle of downtown Gatlinburg but yet so quiet. The place does need some upgrades to a few of the rooms. We had several cabins/rooms rented and the one I stayed in was perfect. The others needed an update of furniture and the bathrooms for sure. Speaking only on my own accommodations, it was great.
The room was spacious. Nice balcony with view of river. Bears are frequently seen on property. Plenty of parking. Very close to the town and National park.
The desk staff was awesome. Some minor outdoor issues with older broken down chairs that need removed or replaced. The location was great. Close to town but still out of the hustle and bustle. The calming creek area was fabulous and enjoyed by us each day. Would definitely return there to stay
My husband and I enjoyed our 3 night stay here. This place was great for the price. We had a room with a balcony that overlooked the river. The beds were comfortable and the room was spacious and worked for our needs. The room appears outdated, however had floors that were not carpeted which we prefer. We did utilize the pool one day and it was clean and comfortable- not crowded. If we return to the area we will stay here again.

The location was beautiful, the staff was nice, and the room was great!
Been to Gatlinburg many times and never seen a bear. Stayed here and saw bears, raccoons, chipmunks and even fish in the creek!
Loads of parking spaces, a swimming pool and lots of chairs out to spend a lazy evening next to the creek. Not too far from the shops and restaurants, will definately stay here again!
We stayed one night in the honeymoon cottage. A last minute get away with my husband. It was so cute. The prefect little cottage. It was very clean and overlooks the river. We will def stay here again.
Clean room, staff was friendly and helpful, parking was great! Me and my daughter did a solo trip and I felt safe and comfortable for us! Doing the cottage was the best thing due to her being autistic it helped to have a home like vibe for us both!!!! Will definitely book again
Very clean room, very friendly staff which I learned they are family owend and live on site. Would definitely book again and I will be telling all of my friends as well about Carr's
The room was very clean and comfortable we enjoyed staying there the balcony overlooks a small stream and we walked down to it and they had chairs and tables set up with fire pit and grill we will stay there again next year
