I recently had the pleasure of staying at Appy Lodge, and it was a truly delightful experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff greeted me with warmth and friendliness, which made me feel right at home. The lodge itself is charming, with cozy rooms that are both comfortable and well-equipped. The peaceful surroundings provided the perfect escape, and the attention to detail in the design made the place feel like a true retreat. What really stood out to me, though, was how welcoming everyone was. The staff went out of their way to ensure I had everything I needed, offering great recommendations for local attractions and always checking in to see if I needed anything. It’s not often you come across such a hospitable team, and their kindness really enhanced my stay. Overall, Appy Lodge is a lovely spot that offers comfort, great service, and a genuinely friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway!

Great except the Bathroom

This hotel is extremely convenient to Gatlinburg, and not a bad drive to Pigeon Forge, about 10 minutes in normal, not rush traffic. It has a great atmosphere, with fire pits outside the lobby, a cute little gift store, a nice indoor pool and, although it wasn't open yet, a fun looking outdoor pool. Bed is comfortable. Our vote was the strip and pay off a mini golf course. Lots of trees and of course hills in a scenic area. Not part of the main hubbub of Gatlinburg, as this property is on the extreme Northern end of Gatlinburg. NOTE! They DO NOT advertise on property that they offer FREE PARKING near Anakeesta, you need to ASK at Front Desks. Good way to save $25 and park right smack dab in the center of the town. Now the rain we're going with 4 instead of 5 stars. The bathroom. We had a fireplace suite. The bathroom has a decent vanity area, but the toilet is NOT separated, it's right next to the vanity, so you will not be able to have someone getting ready at the vanity while someone else uses the toilet, without being OVERLY exposed to each other. We've gotten used to hotels with a separate toilet area, and usually a separate shower area. These rooms do not have that, the bathrooms are probably what you have at home. So if you only have one bath at home, this will probably be no big deal. But we personally cannot give it 5 stars because of this one inconvenient feature. It's probably the reason we'll stay somewhere else in our next mountain trip.

Perfect Family Getaway at The Appy Lodge!

The Appy Lodge in Gatlinburg was perfect for our family of three! The pool was a hit — clean, well-maintained, and just right for our toddler to splash around. The entire lodge was spotless, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We loved the convenient location, close to attractions but tucked away enough to be peaceful at night. The room was spacious, cozy, and super quiet, making bedtime easy for our little one. Plus, the pricing was very reasonable for the quality and amenities offered. It’s a fantastic spot for families, and we can’t wait to come back!
