Excellent location; comfortable bed; nice breakfast. Really liked the balcony & rocking chairs. Having a fridge in the room would have been really helpful also having screens on the patio sliders to keep out bugs would be good.

She's a little long in the tooth with her wood paneled walls and all, but it adds to the charm of a well run hotel with the comfort of her guests a top priority.

Miss Bunny

This is a very much loved property due to its historic status. If you’re looking for a place with old fashioned charm, great hospitality, and centrally located on the Gatlinburg strip, look no further. If you’re looking for the comforts of an updated, modern hotel, this is not the place. It feels exactly like being at summer camp. Wood paneling is everywhere. Very few electrical outlets in the room and no fridge. We’ve stayed many times and have loved it. Miss Bunny is such a kind soul and greets you like you’re family. The breakfast is very good. Those stairs will kill you though. The location really can’t be beat.
