Property and rooms are extremely clean. If you are looking for a peaceful quiet stay, this is the place. Close to Great Smokey Mountains National Park and Cades Cove.
We had the most peaceful, lovely stay. Housekeeping cleaned our room every day. The pool was the perfect temp. The view was incredible. We will be back next year!

Liked: Amenities
Phenomenal water pressure in the shower. Would come back for that alone.
The property was clean with a friendly staff. Great restaurant across the street called Abbey. The only thing I did not like about it was that we were advised that we could not move to a bottom floor because we had book with Expedia and not the hotel itself.
The property was in a great location but room 204 was the worst ! The beds were old and worn ! The toliet was clogged! The tub was slow draining ! Parking was a problem !
Our room was clean and comfortable.
The view from the balcony was wonderful and the front desk staff was great!
Even the deer are running and playing behind the building.
We staid in a kitchenette for a week and felt the kitchen could use some organization and minor updates. Albeit, most of the utenciles where there but were found out of place in various drawers that didn't feel clean enough to use right out of the drawer. Meaning that if the drawers cannot be replaced that a clean organiztion utencil tray would be a good investment.
Room was clean but ciuld used a sweep/vaccume as we kept brining debris into bed on our feet. Bathroom had zero mold and clean.
The things mentioned here are minor and would go a long way for the room experience.
Overall our stay was wonderful.
