“From what I gather, the location is ideal-a serene spot by a mountain stream, yet an easy walk to Gatlinburg's main attractions. The rooms appeal, especially the fireplaces and balconies overlooking the water. I suspect the complimentary breakfast and seasonal pool only sweeten the experience for couples and families seeking both relaxation and convenience.”
