Top Gatlinburg Hotel Reviews

Edgewater Hotel - Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"The Edge is our home away from home. So perfect a place right on the river and very close to the strip… but not so close to be loud. The rooms were big and very clean and our balcony allowed for lifetime memories to be made! We even watched as a bear looked for his supper in the river! We could walk everywhere easily. The staff was great and even the breakfast was perfect! We will be back soon!"

Baymont by Wyndham Gatlinburg On The River

10/10 Excellent

"Clean with cute patios and views of the river. Close enough to the main strip to easily walk in and out of town and avoid the Gatlinburg parking issues, while being close enough to the Pigeon Forge side to easily head out without driving in a ton of downtown congestion."
