Birthday in the Mountains
This was a great location that had several close food locations. The balcony was large and the river was beautiful! I appreciated them putting out bird seed so we could watch them.
A second key would have been very helpful as well as changing the wallpaper in the bathroom that was peeling.

Relaxation at its finest!
Absolutely loved staying there. The little balcony with the rocking chairs next to the stream was everything. So peaceful. So quiet. Just beautiful. Well kept place to stay. Literal went to Dairy Queen which was steps away. So close to everything. We hardly left. Friendly staff. Easy to book.

Dont make reservations
The road from Gatlinburg closed due to a mud slide from heavy rains. We were not allowed to cancel or modify our reservation.
