The location is spectacular, away from the commercialism of Gatlinburg, but easy access there by way of a trolley if desired. We didn't and stayed at the hotel the whole time, enjoying our amazing views of the mountains from our room, the kids having a blast at the beautiful multi-level pool with 2 slides (and a nice got tub for the grown-ups!), having martinis in the lobby while a pianist played, and then room service for dinner. Reasonable prices and food was delicious, even for our picky eaters. Everyone was kind and helpful...we couldn't have enjoyed our visit more, really special.
