Our stay was great . It’s a beautiful condo and very clean. It is walkable to the strip however for my elder mother that was with me it was to far and up hill making it impossible for her to walk. However that didn’t effect our stay we throughly enjoy the condo and would highly recommend it.

Thanks for staying with us! So glad you had fun! yes GATLINBURG IS IN THE MOUNTAINS for sure. We have walked this town for two decades or more and we find it easy to navigate from here but yes if you are bringing elderly guests it is probably best to drive all over the area, even downtown Gatlinburg is not flat. Thanks and we hope you can stay with us again soon. Thanks, Clay and Glenda

The condo is perfect for 2 couples. Clean, nicely decorated and very comfy. The only reason we gave 4 stars is that it is on a very steep hill and not walkable to town for older people or those with knee or hip issues. Even tho the trollie stops on the corner of the street, it is still a steep climb to get back to condo. The condo itself was perfect for our needs.

Thanks for staying with us, we strive for 5-star reviews and are disappointed that you left us a 4-star review because Gatlinburg is in the mountains, certainly you can drive anywhere in Gatlinburg if you needed to, you should probably check with owners about the terrain nearby for your special needs if that is a factor for your family trips. Thanks again and best wishes! Clay and Glenda Dalton

I have stayed here multiple times. Its a great condo. Pro Tip. If you go out the front door around the right side of the building, there is a path through a small wooded area that comes out by the hotel and you can have a 5 minute walk down to the main street of Gatlinburg.
