The heat wasn’t that great, the unit is outdated and can’t keep up even though the room is small. Why is the sink outside the bathroom, why is there no microwave? But the view setting over the river was very nice!

Probably my best stay in a hotel in the Smokies! The customer service was outstanding, the room was clean and cozy with the roaring creek off the balcony with 2 nice rocking chairs. The property is well maintained. The REAL breakfast at the Heirloom House was included each day and a real sit down, order from the menu, upscaled restaurant. They serve dinner and drinks as well. Excellent customer service there too. If you need anything like ice or water or towels, it's only a text message away and is promptly provided. It's only a short walk to downtown Gatlinburg. The hotel is quiet with no children allowed. I would definitely stay there again.

Was a very personable experience. Close to everything, had breakfast included which was right next door at a fancy restaurant. Staff was excellent, allowed us to check-in early and checkout a bit late(breakfast at restaurant took some extra time). Overall great experience!

Everything about this hotel is very special. Staff are incredibly kind and helpful. Matthew greeted us with such kindness and truly went out of his way to show us around and get us settled in. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. You are the right on the main road for a convenient stroll into town but feel absolutely tucked away with just the river, fireplace and your travel partners. All the details were lovely. The only thing to keep in mind is that there is no reception area , so all communication happens via texts, emails it waiting for the innkeepers in the parking lot area. Will definitely come back.
