8.4/10 Very Good! (1,418 reviews)
We enjoyed our stay, the staff was very friendly, close to all the attractions in Pigeon Forge. The only thing I would want next time is drapes for the windows. There are only sheer curtains and it made it hard to sleep.

9/10 Wonderful! (2,891 reviews)
Slow season, very inexpensive rates to sit on a balcony above a lazy River!! The staff was excellent, but when the breakfast area has few people there are staff waiting to serve you, where most places expect you to serve yourself. VERY UNNERVING to have 2 humans waiting for you to ask them for something to do! I only wanted to eat a breakfast, which was excellent… Perhaps having people wait on you is expected here? I’m not sure, but I felt like it was my responsibility to keep them busy, I did not enjoy that feeling. Turn the trays around, I can scoop eggs and sausage myself. I’ve done it before. Takes about 4 seconds and I don’t have anyone waiting for me to ask them to help me do such a menial task. The staff was excellent nonetheless, just not my desire to have them watch me eat.
