Could not get a large cabin without having someone pay a large security deposit and reservation fee up front. I know I cannot afford what they were asking, and didn't feel it would be right to ask anyone else to do it. They generally book these cabins for corporate use, so a corporate credit card is used.

So, on to other accommodations:

Two nice hotels are working with us on a group rate. The first is:

Hampton Inn
Located in the heart of Gatlingurg. Most of the rooms with queen beds are on the side of the hotel overlooking the creek. King rooms have a fireplace but do not have a creek view. Some queen rooms with fireplace as well, but these do not have the creek view.
Queen room (2 queen beds) overlooking creek: $107.10 (regular rate of $129)
Queen room (1 queen bed, sleeper sofa, fireplace, no view): $116.10 ($139)
King room (1 king bed, fireplace, no view): $116.10 ($139)

The second is:
The Bear Skin Lodge
Located just a short walk south of the main drag in Gatlinburg.
**Waiting on group rates for this location.**

 

Tim, if we are able to make it down we were wondering if there is wifi at the hotel?

 

I know the Hampton Inn has WiFi. I don't have specifics on The Bear Skin Lodge yet. We travel with a Verizon card, so that would be available, too, if you needed it.
