"Wow is all I have to say about this property! The room was spacious and in the perfect location for our trip to Gatlinburg. The bathroom was spacious. The bed was comfortable! Cleanliness was a plus as well! Everything we wanted to do was within walking distance! The staff was friendly and very helpful. I left earrings in our room and missed them after we checked out. We came back a couple hours later and the earrings were found and promptly returned to me. There is a parking fee which I am NOT fond of given the expense for the room."
