Bearskin Lodge on the River

Everything was great! Loved the bears in the river!

Enjoyed the hotel and the spacious room. The beds were very comfortable. Only negative was one of our beds squeaked.

Quiet area away from the hustle of downtown. Clean, friendly and helpful staff.

The property was lovely and they kindly checked us in early. It was our first time in TN and we can’t wait to visit again!

Clean, Convenient, and a Couple of Bears!
The room was spotless, check-in was a breeze, and the location couldn’t have been better. Traffic, however, was a different story — thankfully, the bypass saved our sanity (and possibly our marriage).

We actually spotted two bears in the creek behind the hotel our first night — a true Smoky Mountain welcome! Unfortunately, we visited during Slammedenuff weekend, so traffic was a nightmare and the kids roaming around were... let’s just say “enthusiastically obnoxious.” Still, being slightly off the main strip gave us a nice noise buffer, so nights were surprisingly peaceful.

The beds were a bit firm and the bathroom was cozy (translation: don’t drop the soap or you’ll have to exit to pick it up), but the air conditioner worked like a champ. Overall, a solid stay and definitely worth the money!

Loved the room, location, and staff!!

Clean, hallways were very warm but rooms were cool. The fitness center was hot, don’t think air was working and it wasn’t much bigger than a closet. Hallways are very outdated and drab. Rooms are clean and appropriately mountain-style. Overall a good place to stay.

Very nice staff and convenient walking to downtown Gatlinburg.

Property seems run down compared to the last time I stayed here years ago. Needs to be cleaner also. My room was just ok.

Great experience

Awesome stay. Clean and well maintained

One of the nicest places that I’ve ever stayed in. Must get river side with balcony.

Great place!

Very nice place!! Rooms are very clean as well! Convenient walk to the main strip just right across the street for shopping and restaurants. Will definitely be our first pick every time we vacation in Gatlinburg.

The property is in need of some updating and a larger dining room.

This is a great hotel.
We highly recommend it for the convenience and cleanliness.
You can walk through the parking lot and you are right on the Gatlinburg strip.

Needs better handicap parking had to park to far from building

Loved this hotel, great price and wonderful staff. Very close to the trolley pickup or walking into downtown.

Excellent pools

The hotel was exceptional. The room was clean, as well as relaxing hearing the river roaring below.

The breakfast was great. The pancake machine had everyone in ah

The hotel was close proximity to town, as well as trails in the park

A great experience.
