“A wonderful surprise”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed June 8, 2011

We enjoyed our stay at Deer Ridge Mountain Resort. Our boys slept in the loft (they loved the spiral stair case and the flat screen TV in their room). We had 3 flat screen TVs - living room, master, and loft.

The indoor swimming pool was perfect - and typically empty as others were at the outdoor pool. The views are amazing!

Admittedly, the balconies are small... perfect for two chairs and a small table. The size, and height, made me a feel a bit uneasy the first time I stepped out. By the end of the day it was great sitting on the balcony, however.

Perhaps my only complaint are the wasps/bees. The gaps in the wood seemed to welcome their nesting. They never bothered us on the balcony, but they were plentiful enough that we always kept an eye on them.

The drive to the resort is a bit far from Gatlinburg... perhaps too long if you're staying a week. For a long weekend it didn't bother us. The roads are those like a log cabin - narrow, steep and winding. Yet they're well kept and easy to navigate.

The room offered a baby crib (for a small fee) and wireless internet access (not the greatest signal, but it worked).

In the end I found this resort to be a great value. The views are great - the amenities are perfect - the fact it's a condo (full kitchen, etc) rather than a hotel room is a great bonus.
Room Tip: Buildings A & B across from play ground.

"Nice option for large family"

For a traveling party of 7, this provided a great alternative to 2 hotel rooms. The views of the mountains were absolutely beautiful and we had all the necessary items for a family. We found the associates working the front desk to be completely charming, helpful and professional. Though the place was older in its decor and furnishing, we absolutely would consider staying again.
