The property was nice. The beds were comfy and the pillows soft. The staff was friendly. There was a small creek that ran next to the property and had 2 black bears foraging! Great stay.

We celebrated our daughter's 18th birthday on this trip. How memorable to be able to see a black bear play around in the creek daily!!! It truly made our vacation. We were looking for a cabin feel with a water view with a great price. Old Creek Lodge checked all the boxes. We'll definitely book our next trip with them.

Amazing Old Creek Lodge

Old Creek Lodge is an amazing hotel. Our family loved our stay there. Rooms were spotlessly clean and the fireplace was a bonus, It was relaxing to sit out on the balcony and watch the wildlife, including the bears. Breakfast was delicious. We certainly would return and we have told our friends about this wonderful hotel.

**Wonderful Stay – Friendly Staff, Beautiful Rooms, Perfect Location** We absolutely loved our stay at Old Creek Lodge! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful—they made us feel right at home. Every interaction was warm and genuine, and it’s clear they take pride in offering great service. Our room was beautiful—spacious, clean, and very comfortable, with a cozy mountain lodge vibe. The beds were great, and the fireplace and balcony added the perfect touch. We also had a gorgeous view of the river behind the hotel, which made our mornings and evenings feel so peaceful. The location couldn't be better. Just a short walk to the main strip, it was super convenient to shops, restaurants, and attractions—yet still quiet and relaxing at night. We loved being able to park and explore Gatlinburg without needing to drive. Old Creek Lodge exceeded our expectations. Great value, excellent service, and a perfect location. We’ll absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!
