The Appy Lodge

Very nice staff. Good location and the trolley stop is right beside lodge. Comfortable beds. Nice breakfast. Pool with slide for kids. Would love to stay again.

First time stay. The Hotel sits at the entrance of Gatlinburg and on the Trolley stop. Walking distance to Flap Jacks pancake house next door. Hotel was decorated very well, charming mountain lodge style. A little old, but still a nice stay. 2 nights with our 20 year old kids. We didn’t use the pool though it looked bigger online. Missed the hot tub because it was too late and closed when we got back from our day in Gatlinburg. Outdoor gas fire pits and rocking chairs were nice. River not really visible from back deck. Beds were small but mostly comfortable. Good size bathroom with some toiletries provided. No rollaway beds available. The continental Breakfast was just ok-the usual carb heavy choices and boiled eggs. Ok for the money but next time I’ll stay closer to main drag for less.

Room was nice and cozy. Pool was nice and the hot tub was hot.

We loved the waterslide and the fire at night. The pool and fire were open for an hour longer.

Breakfast was limited. Same choices, egg sandwich, pancakes, oatmeal. Dehumidifier kept going off & had to be emptied. Bed was comfortable, wi-fi worked well. Great parking & trolley stop was convenient to town.

Clean room comfortable bed, Patio faces traffic and putt putt golf area. Breakfast is wrapped sausage sandwiches that you microwave and pancakes coffee juice and muffins. Trolley picks you up, walk is about 15 minutes to downtown Gatlinburg to avoid paying for parking. Parking at Abby is included with your room.

The stay here was excellent! Our room was very clean, in fact the entire hotel/lodge was up to par in the cleanliness. The ambience outside in front was wonderful with the firepits and rocking chairs.

Great Stay! The only negative is the building has a single elevator that takes a while to get to you during busy times. But, it's not anything that would keep us from going back. Just beware if you're ridiculously impatient. lol

The Appy was a nice place to stay. It was fully booked the week we were there. We ended up extending one day. The staff was helpful. The room was roomy, clean, and the bathroom was very nice, it had a large tiled shower. The breakfast consisted of pancakes, Jimmy Dean SEC Biscuits, yogurt, and the usual dry cereals. I wish the amenities would stay open later than they did. There were a couple of days we wanted to go to the hot tub after a long day of walking, and it was already closed. There were also a couple of nights we wanted to sit by the fire pits, and they were already turned off. I'm not normally a night owl, but we were getting back to the room at 10 every night. It was convenient to have a trolley stop at the hotel, and we used it several times

clean, convenient location, clean pool with towels provided, downtown parking voucher was a plus

Super clean hotel and convenient location. 5 Stars.

Blood stains on blanket. Blood stain on curtain. Blood drop is bathroom. Extremely dusty everywhere. I itched the entire time. More than a few pieces of hair in the bathroom.

Beautiful and very clean.

Hot tub was broken, fire pits were broken & the room felt clammy & there was black mold on the ceiling. Have stayed here before & it was much better. Place lacks maintenance & going downhill fast.

Was walkable to downtown Gatlinburg. Room was pretty clean. It did feel damp/humid in the room however.

Everything was great except my bathroom had lots of hair in it when I arrived - gross!

The room felt wet. The air was humid. It made our bedding feel damp. Also, no air could reach the bathroom. My wife had a hard time getting ready because she got too hot.

Very clean rooms pool was nice and refreshing. Staff was very polite and helpful.

Outstanding hotel! Enjoyed a 3 night stay this week and room was very clean, comfortable, quiet. Free breakfast was a pleasant surprise when the Expedia listing doesn’t show that as being offered. Parking was always easy too even at 10-11p. Location can’t be beat and I appreciated being at the start of town making the trip to Pigeon Forge for dinner every night super easy (Local Goat is A++++). My only complaint is room 324 the air conditioner unit needs cleaning/maintenance, had a slight mildew smell and I had to run the unit at night since the windows wouldn’t open and the muggy factor was high - I came home with a sinus infection unfortunately. But otherwise lovely hotel, would absolutely stay again!

This hotel is extremely convenient to Gatlinburg, and not a bad drive to Pigeon Forge, about 10 minutes in normal, not rush traffic. It has a great atmosphere, with fire pits outside the lobby, a cute little gift store, a nice indoor pool and, although it wasn't open yet, a fun looking outdoor pool. Bed is comfortable. Our vote was the strip and pay off a mini golf course. Lots of trees and of course hills in a scenic area. Not part of the main hubbub of Gatlinburg, as this property is on the extreme Northern end of Gatlinburg. NOTE! They DO NOT advertise on property that they offer FREE PARKING near Anakeesta, you need to ASK at Front Desks. Good way to save $25 and park right smack dab in the center of the town. Now the rain we're going with 4 instead of 5 stars. The bathroom. We had a fireplace suite. The bathroom has a decent vanity area, but the toilet is NOT separated, it's right next to the vanity, so you will not be able to have someone getting ready at the vanity while someone else uses the toilet, without being OVERLY exposed to each other. We've gotten used to hotels with a separate toilet area, and usually a separate shower area. These rooms do not have that, the bathrooms are probably what you have at home. So if you only have one bath at home, this will probably be no big deal. But we personally cannot give it 5 stars because of this one inconvenient feature. It's probably the reason we'll stay somewhere else in our next mountain trip.

Room was nice and cozy. Pool was nice and the hot tub was hot.

Perfect location to take the trolly right into Gatlinburg. Very cute place. Loved the cozy cabin feel and the bed was very comfortable. Staff was friendly. Would absolutely stay again!

Breakfast was limited. Same choices, egg sandwich, pancakes, oatmeal. Dehumidifier kept going off & had to be emptied. Bed was comfortable, wi-fi worked well. Great parking & trolley stop was convenient to town.

The hotel itself is fantastic. It’s clean, the theme is adorable, it’s in a great location for getting in and out of Gatlinburg. Everyone was very nice, the room felt updated and the bed was comfortable. For us personally, we felt that the walls were a bit thin. I could hear everyone walking down the hallway at 10PM at night and could also hear all the parkway traffic. Which is no one’s fault, this was our first time staying on the parkway and at this hotel so we weren’t sure what to expect. Overall great hotel and great stay.

The room felt wet. The air was humid. It made our bedding feel damp. Also, no air could reach the bathroom. My wife had a hard time getting ready because she got too hot.

When I first walked in the room, there was a humidifier running in the room that was full of water and needed to be emptied which I did. They did not tell me beforehand it would be there. But would have been nice to know so I could have changed rooms.

The staff treats you like family. The beds are very comfortable and the rooms are all updated. The pools are very nice and fun. The rooms are very affordable and in a great location.

This place was great. The room was big and very clean. The breakfast was very good. It was in a beautiful area near the Smoky Mountain national park. Shops and restaurants in Gatlinburg were great. Would Definitely recommend.

When we checked in, I inquired about hotel having a safe to store an item. I asked about retrieval in the AM and we were assured manager would be on duty to retrieve. At checkout there was a young lady, not the manager on duty. She could not get the safe open, was calling for assistance and I began panicking. Long story short, we did get our item when manager arrived. It did, however, delay our departure. Other than that, our stay was great!! Hotel was lovely and rooms super comfy.

Absolutely fantastic! Everyone we encountered, from front desk to housekeeping, was exceptionally friendly! We plan to make thia our go-to spot every time we are in Gatlinburg! Cannot recommend enough!

The desk staff was not welcoming . It seemed as if they were annoyed by our presence. Staff was extremely rude.

Our stay was good. We did have an issue that I won't go into detail about but it was handled by Amanda the general manager in the best way possible. She was truly kind and accommodating under the circumstances. We would stay again!

If you like put put, there is a nice course right next door, also good dining next door , it is not in walking distance to downtown shopping, to park downtown is 20 dollars for all day or 10 min. We had trouble with our room key received 6 different keys in 2 days until they gave us a master key card

Excellent service friendly staff the place is perfect for families would definitely recommend.

Very poor customer service. Advertised as daily housekeeping, yup, some days and the other days you will wonder what happened.

Great atmosphere, very comfortable accommodations, friendly professional staff.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Appy Lodge, and it was a truly delightful experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff greeted me with warmth and friendliness, which made me feel right at home. The lodge itself is charming, with cozy rooms that are both comfortable and well-equipped. The peaceful surroundings provided the perfect escape, and the attention to detail in the design made the place feel like a true retreat. What really stood out to me, though, was how welcoming everyone was. The staff went out of their way to ensure I had everything I needed, offering great recommendations for local attractions and always checking in to see if I needed anything. It’s not often you come across such a hospitable team, and their kindness really enhanced my stay. Overall, Appy Lodge is a lovely spot that offers comfort, great service, and a genuinely friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway!

Friendly helpful service at check in. Clean and comfortable environment.

Clean room comfortable bed, Patio faces traffic and putt putt golf area. Breakfast is wrapped sausage sandwiches that you microwave and pancakes coffee juice and muffins. Trolley picks you up, walk is about 15 minutes to downtown Gatlinburg to avoid paying for parking. Parking at Abby is included with your room.

I really like the location of the property!

Location outside of Gatlinburg madness and convenient to Dollywood

Perfect location clean friendly

Clean and in a good spot which was in between Gatlinburg and pigeon forge and the trolley made it easy getting around town

The hotel is very clean and the rooms are comfortable. They are not located near all of the businesses in Gatlinburg, but do offer a free parking pass for a garage on the parkway. We’ve stayed at several hotels in the area and this is one of our favorites!

Everything about Appy was great-location, cleanliness, comfort, amenities, breakfast, and staff. Went for a couples fall break getaway and the Appy Lodge was perfect.

I stayed at this hotel for easy access to Great Smoky mountains National Park and I will definitely return to this hotel in the future. I was there for about a week, and the national park is so big I did not have time to finish all the hiking trails which were beautiful. Room was very comfortable and quiet and clean. Main shopping, dining area of Gatlinburg is within walking distance and took about 10 minutes to get to.

The continental Breakfast was just ok-the usual carb heavy choices and boiled eggs. Ok for the money but next time I’ll stay closer to main drag for less.

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.

The hotel exceeded our expectations. The front desk staff was helpful and friendly. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast has some health options, which I appreciated.

Love the feel of the hotel and the room. Everyone was very friendly. Breakfast could be better but was better than nothing, especially considering the reasonable room rates.

The hotel was very clean and the staff were friendly. It has very fun decor for the mountain area. It’s situated nicely by being close to the main Gatlinburg area, but far enough for it to be quiet in the evening. Breakfast was ok, typical but not extraordinary.

Friendly staff, clean room & good breakfast.

Loved this hotel. Will definitely stay here again. Clean and comfortable. Close to downtown without being right in the middle of the traffic. Loved the breakfast options.
