The site looked nice, there rooms were nice, the staff was very friendly. You can walk to the strip which takes about 20 min. Easy walk, did it several times a day. There is also a free shuttle run by the city that runs a loop and stops at the Appy. So very easy if you don't want to walk. The fire pits are charming and a nice place to hang out in the evenings. I would definately stay here again

From check in to check out it was an easy process. The lobby and amenities were great! I would definitely stay there again. One suggestion though it was my anniversary and they shut down the firepit at 10pm. Maybe the hours should be extended on the weekend or moved to a spot on the property away from guest bedroom so others can enjoy.

Great hotel!

The hotel is very clean and the rooms are comfortable. They are not located near all of the businesses in Gatlinburg, but do offer a free parking pass for a garage on the parkway. We’ve stayed at several hotels in the area and this is one of our favorites!
