Been to Gatlinburg many times and never seen a bear. Stayed here and saw bears, raccoons, chipmunks and even fish in the creek! Loads of parking spaces, a swimming pool and lots of chairs out to spend a lazy evening next to the creek. Not too far from the shops and restaurants, will definately stay here again!
