The Appy Lodge was a great find! The location was perfect for us as we wanted to be close, but not in the middle of the "busy-ness" of Gatlinburg. Amenities were great! The pool was heated as advertised and the hot tub was avaliable for use. Breakfast items were plentiful and satisfying. Our room was spacious and clean. Loved the stone shower!! We will definitely stay at the Appy Lodge again.
