Absolutely stunning. It is an older place, so you can hear your neighbors creeks as they walk around.But nothing crazy. Very romantic getaway. about 45 mins from downtown Gburg. Will be staying here again.

We really loved this place and wish we had more time to stay. We only stayed for the night and we got in late and left early but even in the dark you can tell the property is beautiful! The room we had was super cute, clean, the shower was so nice and check in was super easy and contactless. The only con I can even give would be if you are a light sleeper go for a 2nd floor room our room was not and in the middle of the night someone going up the stairs about scared me to death lol but once I realized what it was I don’t think it would have bothered me after that and I would for sure stay here again! The location to the National Park is also great!

It was the most beautiful over night stay I’ve experienced in a very long time. I have nothing at all to say except good things. It was the closest to heaven I’ve ever felt and honestly have ever been. I would stay there again in a heartbeat and I know I will return to this extraordinary place. Thank you so much for having me and my mommy and for giving me some much needed comfort and joy reminding me that God is truly magnificent and very much alive. My heart overflows with gratitude. Magic took place during this one night stay. -Angell and Sheryl from across the state back in east TN.

The stay was amazing with a beautiful view. The only thing I could say was less than perfect was the doors. The main door would not latch unless you held it shut for a few seconds. It wasn’t the biggest issue ever but was a little annoying at times. The door to the room we stayed in could have used some things to help us feel more secure. What I mean by this is that the door had gaps above and below it and the frame. There also wasn’t really a lock on the door; it had a switch so that the keypad on the other side couldn’t be operated but it would have felt more secure with an actual lock. The property also has an amazing observation deck with a spectacular view the only issue is that if you go through the doors to the observation deck the only way back in is by going through the front door of the lodge there is no way to get back in through the door that leads to the observation deck. Overall an amazing experience but I feel like if the property felt a little more secure there wouldn’t be any other place I’d rather stay while in the pigeon forge/gatlinburg area.

Better management.

It was ok. Nice facility but its being managed from somewhere not local. I missed the check in instructions which were pretty detailed and wasn't what i wanted to do after driving and in the dark. Had a coffee corner in the room but no coffee, dead spider in the sink and crumbs in the microwave. Nice area. The room was nice just not well managed.

A positive way to spend your 65th birthday! 🤗

We do plan to stay again now that we know what to expect when staying at Laurel Valley. I read the reviews on our way there and glad I had the heads up on no staff present, challenge on finding the chalet once we arrived as well as where the rooms are and getting code to unlock the door. Thank goodness we found a local number to call in one of the emails. The lady stayed on the phone until she directed us to the right building, room, and explaining lock mechanism. All this being said - we found the room to be great, bed comfortable, bathroom amazing, beautifully decorated, and view from covered porch looking out to the mountains was priceless. Ease and proximity to The Abbey in Townsend was a major plus. Our neighbors above us were very loud throughout the night which was no fault to owner. We couldn’t figure out all the construction and remodeling of the first building you come to - clearer signs would be welcoming to guests. Know ahead a time the walk from the parking area down to the chalet is steep and fairly long but worth it once you get to your room. I wish ya’ll the best. Hope to be back soon.

I liked the fireplace but there was no wood. We had to run out and buy it. The heater didnt heeat above 66. There was not any fireplace tools like poker little shovel etc. No water like most places give 2 waters. Only 2 decaf coffees. We like caffeine. Very disappointed. No one here to talk to about it.

This is a very non conventional, well appointed, scenic and peaceful place with loads of central areas for guests to enjoy! It’s very different from your ordinary B&B, resort or hotel. Be sure you know what floor you require as there are three levels and no elevator. And know that though there are fireplaces shown and jacuzzi style tubs listed in some rooms, the owner or management request that you don’t use them. Having noted that as a heads-up, you can’t go wrong. The place itself and the surroundings are very charming and scenic! I’d go back for sure.
