After driving all day from Wisconsin without air conditioning, we couldn't wait to get to Gatlinburg and relax. When we drove on the property off Highway 321 in Gatlinburg, it was if we were driving into the country. The bright lights, traffic, noise and crowds of Gatlinburg in the summer disappeared. The office staff was friendly and boy, were we... more

This place was recomended by a few friends, but I won't recomend this place to anyone. The room was smelly , the sheets on the bed did not fit, they kept coming off, there was no maid service unless requested. At over a hundred dollars a night, we should not have had to ask for maid service. It was very... more

My wife and I stay at Carr's more than 4 or 5 times a year and have done so for the last 7 years since we got married in the Smokey Mountain National Park. We honeymooned there on the recommendation of friends of ours that have been going to Carrs for over 25 years. This is a family owned property... more

My family has stayed on and off here for the past 20 years. We bring my parents as well and while Carr's is not brand new, the peace and friendliness of the staff is refreshing. We have attempted to stay elsewhere (somewhere in downtown or a newer place) but we always return to Carr's. I have stayed in wonderful resorts... more

This was our 2nd time at Carr's Cabins. We were very impressed the 1st time with the setting, cleanliness and the courtesy and friendliness of the staff. Our suite consisted of a kitchen, bedroom and bath...I liked their kitchen better than my own. The 2nd time was even better. We stayed in a suite with bedroom, bath and kitchen/living room... more

After researching Gatlinburg cottages, I selected Carrs because several reviewers on various sites described it as peaceful, beautiful and talked about how they returned year after year. As soon as we pulled into the hotel I was disappointed. It was run down looking and depressing. The cottage which was not cheap, had stained carpet, there was a hole in a... more

If you are looking for a fancy hotel, this is not where you need to stay. If you are looking for an affordable, peaceful stay - This is the place for you. I have stayed here on and off 15 years. The staff is always friendly. Rooms are always clean. Most units are right on the stream which is very... more

They must have used an entire box of carpet fresh in our room before we arrived. The bathtub was coated in grime. There were cobb webs on the walls. The Television was so old. I have never stayed any were like that before. They have not made an attempt to keep it up. It could have been considered quaint if... more

I don't understand the good reviews. As a travel agent, I have stayed in some bad hotels. But honestly, this one was next to the worse I've ever stayed (just below the Chattanooga Choo Choo-bldg #2). We were to stay at Carr's for 3 nights. Checked out after 1. We stayed Oct 14, 2007. The room was so musty smelling... more
