If you are interested in hiking this hotel couldn't be closer to the entrance of Smokey Mountain National Park. If you're expecting "Disney Wilderness Lodge" you will be disappointed. However, the hotel has a lodge atmosphere and our room was clean and pleasant. Much to my surprise there was a jetted tub in the room to ease aching muscles from... More

We really enjoyed it here. The location is very nice - it's at the end of Gatlinburg nearest the park entrance, but off of the main street. Right next to gas, the park, and within walking distance of pretty much anything there. The continental breakfast was pretty good - waffles, muffins, yogurt, coffee. The view isn't absolutely stellar, but to... More

The Lodge is very inviting from the outside. The staff member at the desk was very friendly & let us know a few deals we could get that day at some local places if we were interested. It is nice on this inside, but nothing overly grand. When we got to our room, we were surprised by how large it... More

Nothing like going to sleep with the fire place on and the door open listening to the stream. Location in Gatlinburg is awesome - never have to get back in the car at all. At the very end of Gatlinburg before the national forest, a little out of the really busy side - but a very short walk to many... More

Great hotel. Creek side balcony is a must, very relaxing. There is a hotel on the other side of the creek but the trees blocked our view of it. Rooms were clean and cozy. Staff and pool area excellent. I am a Hampton Inn loyalist but would stay here again in a minute. More

We drove by and got a good rate, $90 for a room with kingside bed, jacuzzi and a fireplace. Good night sleep and convenient location regarding restaurant. It's a VERY cheesy village, and the hotel suits it well. Breakfast is ok, but rather limited and plastic utensils. There is a very waffle machine though. More

This place was amazing. I booked this hotel online for a really good rate, though it was a bit difficult to find in the dark we got there with little trouble. The room was amazing. We loved the balcony over looking the river and the fireplace in the room. Everything was fresh and clean and the cabin type style was... More

We went to Bearskin Lodge on the River at Christmas time. It was absolutely lovely and quaint. There is not a nicer place to stay that I know of for the money in Gatlinburg. Very good value for your money. Has covered parking in the rear. The rooms are very quiet also. Staff was friendly and helpful. Free breakfast was... More
