Very quiet and relaxing, close enough to walk to everything around town or you could take the trolley if you wanted, adults only, so there were not any screaming children around. Balcony overlooking the river. Had a wonderful stay. If I come back again this is where I will stay.

Had an amazing stay. All the staff were kind and very attentive if we needed anything. The room was clean. The view was outstanding. We were able to easily walk to the busy downtown area of Gatlinburg. The attached Heirloom Room restaurant was delicious for both breakfast and dinner, highly recommend. Very nice little boutique hotel, if we head back to Gatlinburg, this is where we will be staying.
