Room was very clean and updated. We enjoyed the fireplace and Jacuzzi tub. The only thing we didn't like is we had a balcony and the view was terrible. It overlooked some run down homes on the back side of the hotel.

Check in staff was friendly. Room was very clean. I was a little surprised that when housekeeping cleaned our room they did not make the bed. I did not expect them to change sheets but did think they would make the bed. Breakfast was great. Overall it was a very pleasant stay. View from room was nothing to brag about. It overlooked a run down house. Would stay here again and recommend.

Nice little lodge in the main thoroughfare of Pigeon Forge. Convenience location and close to many attractions (Titanic museum, upside down house, etc) and great restaurants (i.e. Local Goat). Staff is friendly and breakfast is decent. However, the room can be a little bit more clean. We noticed a candy wrapper on the carpet and one of pillow cases has stains when we checked in.

This was the worst stay I have ever had In Pigeon forge and we come all the time but decided to not stay in a cabin instead we chose this property not only did they have the air restricted we stayed in a loft where heat rises and we were hot the entire trip my daughters nose bleed the whole time we were there because it was got an stuffy very difficult to sleep when I called the front desk they informed me that they restrict air during the winter it is not winter it’s spring and was 70 degrees that weekend but we only had heat when I called the front desk they said they could offer me a fan to plug up I said I spent over 600 to have to use a fan it’s hot but I noticed the hotel itself was cool air blowing in lobby and halls . the whole weekend was miserable and the worst stay ever I would not recommend this hotel to anyone unless you check to see if the air is being offered to the guest

Quinatta, thank you for taking the time to complete the review on your recent stay with us. We do apologize for not meeting your expectations. A/C in the top loft areas are turned back on the first part of April. When the manager on duty reached out, the lower level area had the heat on full blast and heat was rising to the loft area. There was also use of strong profanity directed at the manager on duty and staff.

Jennifer at the front desk is fantastic!! Helped me when I double booked. The room was a great surprise. Large spacious, and loved the hot tub (used almost every night). I can't complain. A noisy neighbor @2am, 1 night but it wasn't the hotels fault. Area is super tourist but felt safer in this hotel's location than others right by the Island. You think BW and you're like it's going to be hit or miss right? .. well this one is a hit!! Will def return!?

I had no issues with the property. I did however have issues with Expedia. You didn’t get my reservation to them, I waited an hour and a half for the situation to get fixed by Expedia. Then set me up in a room I didn’t want. I asked for a room with a King bed and got 2 twins. This is absolutely a ruined experience, and it was because of Expedia. I want a full refund.
