First stay in gatlinburg

Our only complaints are that the bathroom door in our room would not close all the way and the blue tile floor wasnt as clean as I would like. But the beds were very comfortable and we loved the view feom the private patio. Also, the pools and the cafe were great. Awesome food and everyone was super nice.
