This year we decided to stay at the resort. After reading all the reviews I had my doubts. But the condo we were in was very clean and checking in was easy. We stayed in a two bedroom condo with teenagers and they enjoyed the rooms and much as we did. I am always looking for a nice clean place to stay when we visit pigeon Forge and I found it. I was impressed with it. The pools were also very clean and they had plenty of towels at the pool areas. I would recommend this to friends and family and will probably go back and stay again soon. Thanks for a great stay.

We have been to the Smokys a few times in the past 5 years and have rented a cabin each time. Since our kids are a little older (8 & 10) and love the water, we decided to try a waterpark type property as this was something they missed at our cabin last year. We chose Resort @ Governors due to it being outside the main tourist area and the pricing and being a condo property w/full kitchen. Knowing how expensive things can be in the area, having a full kitchen saved us a BUNCH on food.
The entire staff was friendly and helpful. I was impressed that after checking in, on the way back to the room after unloading the car, the lady that had just checked me in asked "How is your room sir?" This is a little thing but something you do not often get. The indoor and outdoor waterparks are just right I felt. We were thinking of booking the "bigger" waterpark in the area, which was more expensive, but would have felt committed to spending most of our time there to get our moneys worth. The price here allowed us to take a side trip to the Biltmore in Asheville (wonderful, by the way) as well as spend a day sightseeing and another doing the Aquarium, mini-golf, etc. I doubt we would have dome some of these if we were "tied" to a large waterpark. Our kids had 2 -3 hours a day in the water and that was perfect. Our daughter rode the waterslides constantly! There is an attendant in the indoor pool area to make sure everyone goes down the slides safely. They also were attentive and talked to the kids - Again, very friendly. The outdoor pool is great as well. Split into 4 sections - main pool, lazy river, hottub, and kiddie area. The main pool is very large and goes to 5 ft deep which is great when you have kids. Towels are provided, which is great. The kitchen is wonderful with tiled floors and nice appliances. Definately higher end than this price point would suggest.
Overall, 5 Stars to a wonderful resort and a great value - maybe one of the best values in the area.
Just remember, this is more of a condo than a hotel. Do not expect room service every day. Just towels being refreshed and trash cans emptied. If you are not aware of this, it could lower your satisfaction.

I just got back from staying at The Resort at Governor's Crossing and we had a great time. I was traveling with two 14 year old boys who can be hard to please. Not on this trip. They had a great time. From the internet access, a must for any teenager, to the game room and the great pool. Our room was very clean and the staff very friendly. If I needed anything (a few extra spoons) they were at my door in minutes. The resort is off the main highway which was fantastic because we were close to everything, Dollywood was just 5 minutes away, but the resort sits off the main highway and was very quite while sitting on the balcony. Too boot I paid just over $100.00 for a double queen with full kitchen and living room. To my surprise it also had a washer/dryer in the room! It was great and I will definately be going back.

My wife and I have been visiting the Pigeon Forge area at least twice a year since our honeymoon in Gatlinburg in 1994. With the addition of our third child, we wanted to get back to Pigeon Forge before my wife had to return from maternity leave. This was by far our best experience in the 15 years we have been coming to the Pigeon Forge area. The room was clean with updated appliances. The fully equipped kitchen allowed us to save money on food and enjoy more time together. The kids loved the indoor and outdoor pool, and having a washer and dryer in the room allowed us to clean and repack our clothes during our stay rather than spending two days catching up on washing when we got home. I usually don't take time to write a review, but the Resort at Governor's Crossing deserves a few minutes of my time!
