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.

The property was a bit dated but clean. Some wood needs replacing and our door needed work. The staff was very helpful and courteous. The beds are high so take a step stool if you are short. We enjoyed seeing the bears and sitting outside by the stream. I would stay here again.
