So 2 of the pillows on the bed. Didn't have a pillow case on them. So you know they and the bed spread have not been washed. The breakfast they serve for 5$ was horrible. It was all cold.No coffee . Would not ever stay here again 🙄

Brookside Lodge is charming and in a great location, but definitely needs some reinvestment and repairs.

The balcony overlooking the brook is so peaceful and some less traveled routes into the mountains are really close. The staff was pleasant and really pulled through to help us regain a forgotten item.
Staff was friendly and helpful. We were there for 5 days though and our room was never cleaned, just towels were replaced. Overall experience was good, cleanliness could use improvement.
Excellent and cozy lodge - a great deal and wonderful at all counts.

Everything. The room, the pool, the creek off the back porch, the view! A wonderful experience all round. We will be back and will recommend Brookside!
Honeymoon suite is well worth the expense. Updated with rustic lodge feel. Private back porch with beautiful creek views. Good hot breakfast and very friendly folks. This will be our go to place from now on when in Gatlinburg. Love it.
We really enjoyed our stay! The creekside room was awesome! Loved listening to the water running down. The pool was closed for the season until next week which is Memorial Day. However, they were so kind to let us go ahead and use the pool. Would definitely stay again.
I loved the rustic feel of the rooms and sleeping to the sounds of the creek was wonderful. My room had a wood-burning fireplace but it was a little too hot outside to use it maybe next time. I only have one small complaint, the mattress was a little hard for me. The staff are all very nice and always had a good morning for you. I especially wanted to thank the housekeeping staff for taking care of me.
