very warm and welcoming ..exactly what they advertised and more. Great room with balcony and fireplace also extremely clean. We had a very enjoyable stay. We highly recommend it!!
We love this hotel and always stay here on our yearly visit to Gatlinburg. The rooms are spacious, have a balcony over the river and are always clean. It’s located off the main street but still walkable to everything. It’s a short 2 minute drive to the park entrance. We highly recommend 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.
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.
Great shower head lots of pressure comfortable mattress and very clean
Great quiet location for gatlinburg
Actually saw a bear this time at the hotel by the creek
Great location in downtown Gatlinburg with a beautiful view of the creek running behind the hotel. I enjoyed watching the fly fishermen catching trout each morning from the balcony.
We stayed for our 26th wedding anniversary.
Everything was perfect the lady at check in was beyond helpful when we had a problem with our debit card she was so nice and polite. The room was so cozy and the view of the stream was perfect we saw a famy of itters and bear outside our balcony.
Already booked a return visit for October.

Room ok for a couple of nights stay. Bathroom could use an upgrade but everything was functional. Good location to access great smoky mountains. Creek view room was nice. Breakfast was basic.
