**Wonderful Stay – Friendly Staff, Beautiful Rooms, Perfect Location** We absolutely loved our stay at Old Creek Lodge! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful—they made us feel right at home. Every interaction was warm and genuine, and it’s clear they take pride in offering great service. Our room was beautiful—spacious, clean, and very comfortable, with a cozy mountain lodge vibe. The beds were great, and the fireplace and balcony added the perfect touch. We also had a gorgeous view of the river behind the hotel, which made our mornings and evenings feel so peaceful. The location couldn't be better. Just a short walk to the main strip, it was super convenient to shops, restaurants, and attractions—yet still quiet and relaxing at night. We loved being able to park and explore Gatlinburg without needing to drive. Old Creek Lodge exceeded our expectations. Great value, excellent service, and a perfect location. We’ll absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

An idyllic setting and well situated on the river.

The situation and setting was truly lovely with the balcony over the river. The room was comfortable and spacious and the staff courteous and helpful. The trolley bus goes right by the hotel and good restaurants nearby too. The only negative thing would be the limited seating for breakfast, which was very basic. Otherwise excellent.
