We loved the large room with the big screen TV and the fireplace. The walk in shower was huge and very nice. The location was great for visiting the National Park and for walking around Gatlinburg. Also, a big plus was The Peddler Steakhouse next door. It was awesome! We would definitely stay at the lodge again.

The Deluxe Room with 2 Queen Beds was lovely, high-ceilinged lodge with a comfortable bed. But the shower had low pressure and the sound insulation was poor—we could clearly hear the family next door and even ended up counting how many kids they had.
