We have stayed here many times, and we have been pleased every time. The staff are nice and always helpful. I flyfish and the location places me close to plenty of opportunity. Mabel’s, Native Brews, and Wize Guys are all within walking distance too.It’s not fancy, but Great Smokies Inn is comfy and a great place to stay. Almost forgot to mention the fire pit and picnic area stocked with firewood.

Dont like adjoining rooms. There is not a lot of guest, if you have adjoining rooms, you need to stagger the guest. Other than listening to Mariachi music all night, the stay was great.
