Wilderness at the Smokies – River Lodge Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at river lodge were very kind and helpful. The property was very clean and as a family we had lots of fun. The prices were Pretty good as well. Reminded me of the great wolf lodge only 100x better, more fun and way more clean. We were able to enjoy all the water parks. The communication with the resort was great as well, always received towels etc just a few min after request. 10/10 recommend!"

Mountain Aire Inn Sevierville/Pigeon Forge

8/10 Good

"Office Staff Great - Cleaning Staff need training on Dust areas and especially AC filters that I cleaned which were hideous from not being cleaned in quite a while a left an odor that permeated until I cleaned the filters and sprayed the with Hydrogen Peroxide, my got to sanitizer. Couch in the room needs steam cleaning and had a lingering odor that I sanitized too. AC itself is a problem because it sits in the wall at an elevation where if you are sitting at the desk as I did quite a lot, it becomes annoyingly noisy and fine tuning to stay at a cool but not cold temperature is a challenge. New unit is definitely needed. Overall I enjoyed the 3 day stay, despite not having internet for most of the time due to SPECTRUM outage from the rain - not the Motel itself."

Wilderness at the Smokies - Stone Hill Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I would recommend this lodge to anyone with or even without children. There’s so much to do, there’s no reason to even leave the wilderness areas. Between the two locations you’ll be too busy in the water to leave. They have food options, Starbucks on grounds open in the mornings 8-11am too! They have too much fun activities to even include here. You’ll love it. Check in and out is so easy and everything is accessed and can be charged to your room if needed with your included wristbands. 10/10 stars"
