Beautiful place we really enjoyed our stay, the view from the balcony was beautiful. Only bad thing is the beds are springy and uncomfortable I didn’t sleep well for the few nights we were there.

Great place to stay
The stay was good and the people that checked us in were great.
The “breakfast”was not very good at all and was the same thing every day.
Overall the place was very nice and definitely would stay again.

Great stay for the price!
Stayed here with my son for a football weekend. Room was clean and spacious with a balcony overlooking the river. Great stay for the cost! Would absolutely book again! It’s an older property but clean and well maintained.

Riverside for Peace and Quiet
The Brookside Lodge was the best choice for our short visit to Gatlinburg. The city itself is a bit on the busy and noisy side for me, the Smoky Mountains were wonderful, so to have the quiet, quaint room at the Brookside Lodge was another great treat. The river ran noisily past our window, sitting on the deck with take out food from the Thai restaurant down the street was magical! I hope to be able to return here in the future. Thank you to all!
