This wasnât the absolute worst place weâve stayed, but there are definitely better options if youâre visiting the Smokies. The biggest downside was location â itâs about an hour and fifteen minutes from both downtown Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. That meant if we went out for the day, we basically had to stay out until nighttime, because coming back and forth just wasnât realistic.The listing also mentioned a âgreat mountain view,â but our view was actually of the road going downhill to the exit, which felt a bit misleading. Getting up the mountain to reach the condo was rough too â the drive made our whole family carsick each time, so itâs definitely not the easiest place to access.Another frustration was laundry. The condo had a washer, but no dryer. You have to drive downhill, go under the office, and pay 1.25 per load to dry clothes. Every other place weâve stayed in the area has been much more convenient and came with all the basics.On a positive note, the room itself was clean. Overall, Iâd rate this stay a 4 out of 10.
