I’m leery of hype, especially in Gatlinburg the Mecca of hyperbole, but this place lives up to all its claims! The rooms are newly redecorated and are up to date, sleek, and clean. And every room has its own private balcony overlooking a very audible mountain stream! We slept with the balcony door open! Parking was easy, right outside our room.(They asked for special instructions and I stated that we had a large, full size pickup truck.) After driving all day to get here we were ready for a walk, and the check-in concierge sent us down the street, where we found “Ole Red,” the Blake Shelton bar with live music! Even on a Monday. This place is a real gem!
