Bear Creek Inn Gatlinburg, TN

Simple hotel without all the fancy bells and whistles I never use or need anyway. Every room has a balcony over the river which is so lovely to sit out on. It’s tucked away from the main busy strip of Gatlinburg but still close enough to a few businesses you could walk to. The most lovely Thai restaurant is located not 20 steps from the hotel without the most beautiful outdoor area. If you’re staying here, pop in for a meal or even just a drink and enjoy the peacefulness before retiring to your room. Honestly for the price you can’t beat it. I’ve paid more for worse rooms. Vanessa checked me in and was very thorough and quick which was a delight. This is the perfect no-nonsense hotel to get a good night of sleep in.

The price is RIGHT! For the minimal cost it has BIG amenities. Every room has a balcony that backs up to the creek!! There's chairs to sit, relax and take in the amazing views of the creek! I needed to extend my stay for one night and the lady at the front desk was super helpful and made sure we were able to stay in the same room! Which is a plus cause we didn't have to drag all of our luggage to another room! For the cost it is simply amazing! They have laundry facilities on site. We weren't able to use them but it is there!

1 st shift put us in double beds room and I paid for queen..2 nd shift moved us to an awesome room 111..

Great Inn for a short budget stay. The rooms were a great size and we got the pleasure of seeing a Bear from our balcony, an experience which was fantastic. Large sheltered balconies with lovely peaceful river views. Lovely friendly staff, welcome pack of snacks was a lovely touch for such a little Inn, parking was easy and simple and everything was well explained. Rooms were large and clean and very spacious, hairdryer and iron etc were handy also.

It was so vintage and cute! The architecture was something you don’t see anymore. The small river out back was beautiful, and we didn’t even have one of the better river views. We want to try the Thai restaurant next door the next time we come. The signage was so cool- and we saw a bear shimmy down a tree! The staff was really kind, the beds were SO COMFORTABLE. This is our new gatlinburg home! The Flapjack restaurant across the street was wonderful. The charm of this whole area makes me glad we stayed here and not pigeon forge, but it was super close to Dollywood.
