Everything was great for our short one night stay. Every thing was very clean and the lady in the office was super nice. Breakfast was very small with few options but fine for a quick bite before hitting the road.

This place was so wonderful! It's in a great location to Cades Cove, nature trails, locally owned restaurants and more. I stayed here with my parents when I was a teenager and it was really great to come back with my own family.

A clean and quiet hotel close to the Great Smoky Mountains entrance and the Tuckaleechee Caverns. Staff was very helpful and respectful. If you are looking for a peaceful place to stay and to be close to nature, you would enjoy it as much as we did.
