“I found its location particularly well-judged; removed from the main bustle but still an easy walk to the center, plus the sounds of the river were a real advantage. I also noted the access to trails and outdoor activities for its proximity to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park entrance. The combination of the saltwater pool and in-room fireplaces create a relaxing atmosphere.”
