This was a great place to stay as a family of six. The heated indoor pool was a big hit with our kids and the additional roll away beds were great for sleeping everyone comfortably. The location is also excellent, within walking distance to all our favorite places in Gatlinburg and a short drive to the park. We hope to stay here again in the future.

The host was extremely nice and helpful when I had questions. We had no trouble getting into the room and it’s in a great location! It was a comfortable condo. Our only issues were the carpet needed cleaning and the water didn’t drain out of the shower very well.
We had a cute little Christmas tree in our den!
Plenty of towels in the bathroom!
