Top Gatlinburg Trail Trailhead Hotel Reviews

Glenstone Lodge

8/10 Good

"Great place, I could tell it was an older place, by room interior. Could use update. BIG plus was indoor pool!!"

Margaritaville Resort Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"Had a wonderful trip in Gatlinburg and really enjoyed our stay! Facilities were super clean, staff were very helpful, all service persons throughout the resort were friendly. Enjoyed the spa experience and was even able to enjoy the swimming pool in the first week of October!"

The Greystone Lodge on the River

8/10 Good

"Friendly staff who allowed us an early check-in and late check-out, which we really appreciated. The beds were comfortable, but very squeaky. Nice river views and a great location. The breakfast area is too small for the number of guests, so it was very crowded. If you have a scooter, I would recommend putting it in the main garage rather than the third garage. The elevator barely fit the scooter, and driving up the hill to the third garage felt dangerous. Overall, a good stay with a great location (across from Anakeesta & by trolley stop) and friendly staff. Free parking is a plus (minus having to keep moving yellow cones)"

Bearskin Lodge on the River

8/10 Good

"It’s very convenient to Gatlinberg and Smoky Mountain National Park. It shows its age and there is no place to gather with your group (of 4, even). Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Expensive for the rooms"

Hilton Garden Inn Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"This was an amazing stay, very clean rooms and very helpful staff. I would highly recommend anyone to stay here."
