There are few more relaxing sounds than that of gently flowing water, and at this adults-only inn dating back to 1935, all 36 bedrooms come with balconies overlooking the Little Pigeon River; book one of the rooms with a fireplace and a good night’s sleep is assured. Also adding to the hotel’s considerable charm is its location a short walk from downtown Gatlinburg and its position as a gateway to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.
