AWESOME STAY Only wish I didn’t have to come home.
Pros:

Last hotel before you enter the Smokey Mtns . The hotel gives you that mountain vibe , There was a fire ban everywhere but considering what happened a few years back totally understand ! Normally if no fire ban , you can grill , or have a fire in the pit area , and sit outside , I am also a smoker so great that they offer smoking rooms , hot chocolate, and tea bags and coffee in the lobby. Coffee in the rooms, I had tea and hot chocolate in the room , just grabbed a few packs when checking in , Close enough to walk to several shops and food joints ! Awesome. I came for some relaxation and they delivered ! Front desk group. Where super nice , This has been my go to place for years 💕

Cons:

Nothing

Right Outside Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Pros:

Check-in was easy, room was immaculately clean. Location is quiet and very conveniently located to Blue Ridge Parkway or Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Breakfast is not provided, but Mabel's across the street was great.

Cons:

No complaints.
