We absolutely loved the Appy Lodge!!! The staff were awesome; very courteous and professional. I liked how it’s associated with the Appalachian Trail and how every room is named after one of the 242 shelters on the Appalachian Trail. Very informative pictures about the history of the Appalachian Trail along the hallways; I read ‘em all. I’ve always loved history. I liked the location. Just inside of Gatlinburg and just far enough away from all the hustle and bustle. Nice quiet spot. Flapjack’s next door is convenient; we did eat breakfast at the hotel Sunday morning. Better variety of breakfast items than most hotels. Our room was nice. I loved the rustic look of the bed, tables, etc. pillows a little soft; kinda aggravated an old racing injury with my neck. That’s ok though. When we come back to Gatlinburg, we WILL be staying here again.
