The staff could not have been more wonderful, the rooms were comfortable and provided what each person needed in our party. The breakfast was OMG!!! This is a gem and just surrounded by so much walkable beauty. Lots of opportunity to shop locally and to explore a very beautiful part of the country. I also appreciate the care they provided to my 80+ year old mom when she just wanted to sit on the porch- they made sure she was comfortable and even helped her get on the internet when she couldn't figure it out. The best hospitality EVER!

Back in the area for business…read more Making a reservation was easy and when I got here, it was confirmed that the lady on the phone left detailed notes for anyone after her because of an exemption they give with certain employers on room rates. The issue though was that the elevator was out of use (ended up finding out it was caused by a bad capacitor caused by a lightning strike, a maintenance individual coming in to replace it and not doing it, and then an emergency switch catastrophic failure), but this was disclosed as I was making my reservation on the phone. I was able to get a king suite (picture 39 of 63 on this Yelp entry) just because the rest of the rooms were sold out on the first floor. From my last review, one item I never elaborated on was the cable. Yes, this hotel does have History, Discovery, and Travel channels. In fact, I think they maxed out the tiers on whomever their cable provider is. 10/14/2025 GEEZUS! They are innovative with their breakfast?! I went down to find either country fried steak or a chicken patty along with sausage patties and hash browns in the breakfast area. Whatever it was, it was so good (the meat inside was white, so probably chicken). This is definitely a nice change from just having sausage or bacon like at other hotels I have stayed at. By introducing a meat with breading, it is further enhanced by the sausage gravy that this hotel serves for its biscuits and gravy! One could even make waffles and you get? Chicken and waffles! Suggestion: If the owner of this hotel reads this review, consider putting out cold cut salami or ham slices and a cheese plate. Apparently, all the top tier hotels in Europe do that. 10/15 The breakfast was still the same, with all the same meats, baked goods, etc. I ended up getting a waffle and trying it with the chicken patty and it was great. CHICKEN AND WAFFLES! Good with syrup and ketchup as well. The only issue with dining was just that this hotel does not keep any caffeinated and decaffeinated teas. All in all, it was a good stay. I just wish their elevator was working.

PROS: One of the best things about this hotel is it's set way back from the main road, so it's quiet. We were on a 3 week trip and I had the best sleep of the trip here. They also have a 'Quiet After 10pm' sign in the lobby to remind people to be quiet. The only thing we heard at night was a dog barking somewhere, but it wasn't that bothersome for very long. Typical hotel complimentary breakfast buffet including bananas, cold cereals, oatmeal, hot items, tea, coffee, juices, etc. Spacious breakfast seating area with TVs on the wall as well as a patio area. Complimentary parking in spacious outdoor, uncovered lot. Good shower pressure. Well maintained, clean. We saw someone picking up trash outside. Hairdryer, microwave, fridge, iron/board and safe in the room. Shampoo, soap and conditioner mini toiletries. CONS: VERY noisy fan in the bathroom. It was annoying! The hangers are the kind without hooks. Hate those! Lumpy pillows. Our GPS lead us astray to the hotel, so be mindful of that. Dining note: We ate at Ike's Pizza in downtown Middlesboro. I recommend it. Overall, a decent stay. I would recommend staying here if you're on a budget. Was this review helpful?

I had work so I didn't get to speak with anyone but notified IHG of the way things were handled and how disgusting & rude people had became. Once we checked out we received a call that we had stole 3 pillows. A complete vindictive move by the staff because my claim about their behavior had NOT been resolved and closed for their record keeping. I told them to roll back the cameras and see that we had brought our own pillows because there's along with their beds were really awful. Have not heard back from them. Just know they're vindictive and rude and I would say this hotel is trying their hardest to be nice but just isn't. Heads up, if you have children or if you are friendly--they are not. Besides one lady, the breakfast lady, she was so sweet. Hope nothing but the best for her sweet soul.

Cumberland Park is one of my favorite state parks to visit. We have visited twice and loved it both…read moretimes. The first visit we stayed during covid in December so it was just our group of 4 and one other couple staying in the resort. It was nice because it felt so private. We stayed in the resort rooms and we were surprised with how nice they are. Everything was clean. It was a bit small but we made it work. The second visit we stayed in their cabins and preferred it more. we got 2 bedrooms and each one had 2 beds so all of us slept comfortably. I loved that the cabin comes with a full kitchen and table so we spent our night playing board games. The park itself has so much to do. There are tons of hiking trails, horseback riding and even boat tours that take you up close to the waterfall. You have to go to the Moon bow at least once in your lifetime. It's when the moon hits the water at the right angle and you see a rainbow at night. It is a cool experience but it does get really crowded so you may want to come early. Cumberland Falls gave me unrealistic expectations for state parks because this what I feel like most state parks should be like.

Stopped by here on a whim, and was so pleased! The river was really up, leading to a rather…read moreimpressive flow down the falls. The trail was a bit slick, but really just strolled to hit the different overlooks for different angles of the surging waters. Snagged a sundae from the snack shop and some gifts from the shop. They have some animals and small exhibits in the Visitor's Center as well. Free to stop, loved seeing the falls! Apparently the only place to see a Moonbow near the full moon in the Western Hemisphere, so that's pretty special!

We booked a stay at the end of March and unbelievably we were told we were the first hotel guests…read moreof the year. They also mentioned we were the only guests that night and as a horror movie fan- it made me a little uneasy. The hotel staff called us a couple of times to verify our arrival time to make sure they had our room ready and security would be there to let us in (we felt oh so important). We started up the mountain and after a little way up we stopped to check in with security, a super nice guy who just had us fill out our paperwork and let us know our room would be open for us. We continued up the mountain but stopped frequently to take in the amazing views the altitude allowed. There are lots of spots to stop and sit or stand in awe of the beauty surrounding you. The Sasquatch cut out hidden in the woods was a bonus too! The room was just as amazing as the view. It felt like a little home and the bed was delightfully cozy. Our fridge had some beverages in it to enjoy during our stay as well which I really appreciated! The soaking tub was magnificent and the balcony is magical. We spent the majority of our time sitting on the balcony with some wine and enjoying the most amazing view of the valley below, it was our favorite part of the trip. The only downside was that the restaurant wasn't open during the year we went and there wasn't anything real close by to grab a quick bite. Ultimately we decided we enjoyed the room so much we didn't want to leave to find something to eat and just enjoyed the snacks we brought with us. All in all this place is amazing. I couldn't believe we were the first visitors because the view from this mountain is incredible. I hope they get their restaurant back up and running because I would love to return.

Our family is…read moreoriginally from Caryville, and I've stayed at this hotel many, many times, over the past several years when we have come down to visit family. The entrance and the hallways are filled with local historical photos, news clippings & ephemera, antiques, old farming equipment, classic cars, and tons of other things to look at. The llamas outside are a certainly a unique feature, and are quite endearing to watch. The rooms are very comfortable, many with lovely balconies and views of the lake. Those that look out to the back of the property offer an occasional glimpse of the llamas grazing on the land surrounding the hotel. Linens and towels are always top notch and freshly laundered. Occasionally I have had small issues with noise from neighbouring rooms, but usually when families with children are staying in them. Normally I sleep well and am not disturbed by other customers. The breakfast has been really well done the times when I have been there. A great selection of standard hot and cold items. Copious amounts of tea and coffee. I can't recommend it highly enough if you're coming to the area and want a great hotel without the crazy price tag that some local resorts might charge.

Our first time visiting the lake and we rented a ski boat from Springs. They were super casual when…read moretaking my reservation, kind of made me nervous about showing up without a deposit or anything. But sure enough, it's a SUPER CASUAL place, so it makes total sense. The people that work there are busy, but incredibly friendly. This is a "no frills" kind of marina, but that's lake life and it adds to the charm of it all. They have a simple marina with the basics as far as food/snacks go. They have a great little diner/bar with very reasonable-priced draft beers. But what you go here for is the soft serve ice cream. I wish I'd taken a photo. It seems like that twist cone was a mile high. And it was SO GOOD. Wow. Back to the boats. We made a reservation a couple weeks out. I wanted to be sure the weather was good before committing to Saturday and when we arrived, I was thrilled at how easy it was to add a day onto our reservation. Three days - roughly $1k - not bad. And while the boat was a little older (they usually replace them yearly), it was in excellent shape and was VERY fast. Much faster than other ski boat rentals I found. And the "deck" on the back was perfect for getting on and off the boat. The only thing I wish we'd had was an anchor. They don't include that, but I didn't even think to ask about it. It's very costly when renters lose anchors, so that's probably why it doesn't include one. Our boat was gassed up and ready to roll. If you are new to boating, do not expect much training. We literally hopped in the boat, backed out and took off. You don't need a license to rent a boat in Tennessee. Not sure if we'll be in the same area next year, but if we are, 100% we will rent from Springs Dock for sure. And if we're not, we'll stop in for ice cream. They are reliable and friendly and I simply wouldn't go anywhere else to rent if in the area. p.s. We DID run into one tiny issue while wakeboarding. There was a loose screw on the Bimini Top frame that popped out while my son was wakeboarding. We called them and they told us to bring it back ASAP. They were able to find a new screw, secure it quickly, and get us back on the water fast. GREAT service. p.p.s. There are lot of floating houses at this marina. So you do have to navigate a rather long no wake zone to get to the marina. Something helpful to keep in mind.

"Days Inn" sounded classy and it was the only hotel within 50 miles which would accept my furry travel companion. On arrival, late Friday night, we found a hotel with only a "Days Inn" tarp thrown over the old hotel's road sign. Thats where the similarities to a "Days Inn" ended and the similarities to the Bates motel began. This place was sketchy... like, you wouldn't want your worst enemy from middle-school to stay there... even the one who called you fat. But, tired and overwhelmed by a long drive, we checked-in. Dun dun dun... My favorite of our experiences was the astonishingly loud bathroom fan switch which must have been connected to a jet engine... or the lack of a bed skirt over the incredibly stained box springs... or the overpowering cloud of smoke that knocked us over as we walked into the non-smoking room... or the apparent dried sausage on the carpet in the corner of the room... I really hope it was sausage. *They did have a free continental breakfast... However, sausage was NOT on the menu?! I really really hope it was sausage. Please don't stay here.
