Top Great Smoky Mountains National Park Headquarters Hotel Reviews

Gatlinburg Town Square

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the location everything is walking distance. Quiet and great for families."

Edgewater Hotel - Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"Very close to everything which is what we wanted."

Bearskin Lodge on the River

10/10 Excellent

"We had a pleasant 2-night stay. The road in front of the property wasn't as busy as the main downtown area,so it was quiet, but not too far to walk to the shopping areas. The staff was very nice and helpful. We enjoyed the pool, lazy river, and fire pit at the pool area. And our room had a massive TV that was great for catching a few football games over Labor Day weekend. Take the bear warnings seriously though...one was walking along the stream while we were in the rocking chairs that face the water at the back of the property."

Margaritaville Resort Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the resort, rooms were very clean and spacious with lots of light. The swimming area was fabulous with a large pool, slide and an area of lounging chairs in a shallow pool. Great to have a host that you could order food from and drinks during the poolside. Restaurants , longe and bar were just lovely. Would come again. Only thing I could highly suggest: You need more pool umbrella's as too hot to sit in that heat during the afternoon."
