Needs serious updates. Clean but rundown. Sitting on the creek with a fire was a highlight. Price was reasonable.

We stayed in a four plex. It was older but clean, and all we needed for one night. Loved having a creek outside to enjoy. Would stay there again!
The room was clean and a great location- about a mile walk into all the shops and restaurants on the Gatlinburg strip.
Thin walls between rooms, so we heard everything from the neighboring room.
Our microwave flipped the breaker and we were out of power for a very short while, as it was fixed promptly. However, we were nervous to use the microwave again after that.
The room was very worth the value.
Easy to book, easy to acces, nice staff, nice location. No GFI protectors so power went out on one wall, but didn't affect our stay and stay was informed. Would definitely book again!
We stayed for one night. Check-in was easy, and the staff was friendly and helpful. However, there was no clear signage directing us to our room, which made it difficult to find—we ended up having to return to the front desk for assistance. The room was generally clean and orderly, but the bathroom needed more attention. There were long black hairs left behind from a previous guest, and the space showed signs of wear and tear, needing some basic maintenance. Overall, we would not choose to stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay very much--first time in the Rockies. The staff were friendly and the room was clean. The room itself is could use some renovating.
The two gentleman at check in were so sweet. One of them actually walked us to our room so we found it. The room was small but quaint. It was very clean. The only problem we had was our upstairs neighbors being extremely loud the first night. We liked it so much we extended our stay another night. We will definitely be back again in the future.
I absolutely loved sitting on the balcony, drinking coffee while enjoying the riverview. Staff was friendly and helpful. I really liked that our suite had a wall separating the bedroom from the living room/kitchen, which gave it a more spacious feel. We also enjoyed the fireplace inside the living room which we used every day.
It felt like a cozy cabin and thats exactly what I wanted. Conveniently located near the 3rd stoplight in Gatlinburg. Lots to do within walking distance. I went to see the 4th of July midnight parade and the route took it right in front of the property. Comfy bed, great A/C with a balcony along the creek. Its my go to place when staying in Gatlinburg.

Very private. Comfortable beds, but flat pillows. Nice kitchenette, but no coffee. Some fireworks or gunshots at one point was a bit scary, but overall good stay.
