Glenstone Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Our second time staying here (would have been our third, but I waited too long last time!). Rooms are clean, ac is cold, pool area is clean & maintained. Front counter staff are genuinely helpful, accommodating, and friendly. As Gatlinburg is a walking town, this is just far enough back to not get all the noise, but close enough to walk to/from to the main strip. Rowkeya & her manager (missed her name) and overnight lady were all SUPER!! We will return next year for sure"

The Historic Gatlinburg Inn

10/10 Excellent

"If you want an old fashioned experience in the heart of Gatlinburg, this is it! From the minute you are greeted in the driveway from someone guiding you to check in, you feel like this place is special. This is an old school experience. There is no modern decor, it is exactly as it has always been. The room was comfortable, the bathroom was good, great rocking chairs on the balcony. The free breakfast each morning is outstanding. The pool was perfect! What makes this place really shine are the people. Every worker we encountered went out of their way in customer service which you just don't get anymore. We had a great experience with both Amy and Jameson. These two went above and beyond for us (to sort out a missing key issue). Forever thankful and already booked our next trip back!"
