The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Cozy Room with Great Amenities

My stay in June 2024 was absolutely good! The room was comfortable and charming, featuring a king-sized bed, a cozy sofa, and a well-furnished counter with a microwave and fridge. The large bathroom also had a tub, which was quite a treat. The little touches made it feel like home, with everything clean and well-maintained.

Spacious and Clean Bathroom

I stayed here in July 2024 and was really impressed with the bathroom. It was larger than what I normally find in hotels, giving me plenty of space to move around. The cleanliness was excellent, making my bathing experience enjoyable and relaxing.

Comfortable King-Sized Bed

During my visit in August 2024, I found the king-sized bed to be extraordinarily comfortable. I had a wonderful night's sleep every night, and that's something I truly appreciate when traveling! The overall decor with a vintage flair made my stay quite enjoyable.

Relaxing Outdoor Pavilion

I spent a lovely weekend here in September 2024 and loved the outdoor pavilion area. With a fire pit, comfortable seating, and beautiful views of the rivers, it was the perfect place to unwind and socialize with other guests while enjoying the serene surroundings.

5.0/10

This place has potential but really needs some serious TLC. The rooms left a lot to be desired - definitely not the clean or comfortable experience I hoped for. There is a nice outdoor area by the river, which is a plus, but the service was quite disappointing due to a language barrier and strict rules about service dogs. Overall, it was not a great experience, and I wouldn't plan to return.

I had a lovely stay nestled in the mountains at this charming little motel. The surroundings are absolutely beautiful, and the owners made us feel right at home. The rooms were clean and comfortable, although they could use some updates. It was a treat to enjoy fishing behind the motel. It's conveniently located near the entrance to the Smoky Mountain Parkway and close to the casino, making it an ideal spot for a getaway. However, I had to travel 5 miles for meals, which was a little inconvenient.
