The Appy Lodge is in a great location in Gatlinburg but easy to get to Pigeon Forge. The two pools are convenient and the breakfast was good.

I felt like for the value it was five star. The location was great. You were staying at the entrance of Gatlinburg coming from pigeon Forge. The hotel was very clean. The staff was very courteous and it felt very safe and the parking was real easy. I would definitely Stay there on my next visit to pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg.

Staff was friendly, hotel was quiet, outside pool has a slide and is extremely kid friendly.... if you know, you know. I have 4 year olds and they were very comfortable playing independently since the pool is not very deep!

I liked the cabin, mountain feel with the convenience of a hotel. The breakfast could be better (mostly carb options) but I would stay here again.

We stayed for a week .
Great front desk staff very helpful with questions
. Breakfast could have had more more variety throughout the week it gets boring having the same options every day
Housekeeping was great my first five days but my last two it was lacking the attention to detail from the previous days.
