"Just what we needed."
Overall score4.0/ 5
The hotel is in a great location. You can walk to almost everything: including a rodeo right across the road. Shop till you drop in two different directions! I recommend the horseback riding at Smokemont Riding Stables. Granny's Kitchen; and El Cajelito Mexican Restaurant. There's definitely more; but I could only do so much. Great continental breakfast at the hotel and very friendly staff. I definitely want to come back and do some hiking.

Testimonials:

Testimonials icon
"I found your site very easy to use, and useful, and your staff helpful but not at all pushy. (I tried using another site that resulted in "sales" calls and won't use that site again. Conference planning is hectic/nutty enough without someone calling everyday to bug you! :-) Not only would I use you, but recommend you highly." L.F. - Berkeley, CA
