Whittier Castle Hotels

"A+++++Great hotel"

"The rooms are impeccably clean."

"A for everything! Tucked away, no sounds but the running creek and an occasional bird. Spotless and well-stocked inside. The fire pit was divine. The electric stove has been replaced with a new flat-top since the picture in the add was taken. The Wi-Fi worked well, we were able to stream a movie each night from amazon. It is up a very-steep gravel road with switch backs so definitely glad we have a 4x4. "

"The air, tv & remote didn’t work. "

"Very comfortable accommodations. The staff was excellent. Coffee & tea in the lobby was very welcome after a long day of travel. Bed was comfortable."

"Easy parking. Rooms were nice and clean. Bed was so comfortable. "

"So much charm!"

"Room was clean"

"Exactly what I was looking for. Very quiet area close to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Cabin looked and smelled clean and fresh, and they even went above and beyond with some touches like a TP flower, an animal towel, etc. The owner sent complete check-in instructions beforehand, and the check-in process was smooth. He also left a binder full of useful information at the cabin including instructions for using the hot tub (easier than I expected), TVs, thermostat, etc. The babbling creek sounds are soothing and relaxing, and the creek runs very close to the cabin. Allow yourself plenty of time to just hang out at the cabin to enjoy the peace and the fabulous amenities.Cute towns of Cherokee and Bryson City are close by as are several nice waterfalls. Day trips to Gatlinburg (don't miss the Arts & Crafts loop which, in my opinion, is much better than their congested downtown area), Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, and Asheville are all doable from here. Consider getting up before the crack of dawn to drive up to Kuwohi (formerly Clingman's Dome) to see the sunrise. Pick a morning with light clouds for a prettier sky and allow time to arrive at Kuwohi at least 30 to 40 min before sunrise to see the best sky colors. Remember to dress warmly as it is much cooler up there.This was my third visit to the GSM area but my first at this cabin. I would definitely stay here again. "
