I took my mom here for her 75th birthday in May of 2018 and had a delightful time. The location,…read morelooking south towards the Great Smoky Mountains National Park was peaceful, and even though it was a short downhill drive to Gatlinburg, it felt like it was miles away. We were greeted by one of the managers when we arrived who made us feel welcome. While there is not daily housekeeping, we had more than enough towels (and coffee pods!) for our three night stay. There was a fire through this area back in 2016. There is no sign of the fire in the remaining lodge building. Off to the side, up a hill, are the foundations of former their lodge buildings and restaurant. The view to the south includes some burned trees in the distance, but I found that it didn't take away from the ambiance. Due to the fire, the does lodge have a more remote feeling due to the lack of telephone, cable, or internet. We didn't miss any of these, and we had reasonable cell phone reception. I look forward to seeing the lodge thrive again and wish the owners the best in their continued renewal.

It's unfortunate what happened with the fires back in 2016 but the business keeps on pushing through. They still have a decent amount of amenities even without the other spaces they had offered before the fires. The rooms are a decent size, especially for two people. They offer a full sized kitchen which was nice so we didn't have to eat out every night. The balcony is cute & have great views of mt leconte. The bed was comfy & everything was clean. They had plush robes in the closet which were super comfy & great to put on after a hot bath in the spa tub in the bathroom. They also maintain hiking trails right by the lodge & they had a nice set up by the creek, there was a bathroom down there & a fire pit and lots of chairs set up. The lodge is only a mile up the road from downtown & the national park entrance so it's in close proximity to alot of great things. The only issue we ran into was not enough parking but we made it work. Overall had a great experience here & would definitely stay here again.

Parking's an issue if you're arriving when the bistro is open. We were always able to find a space, but sometimes not near the cabin. There are a couple signs for "cabin parking" but they were frequently moved, taken down, or ignored. Something the lodge should really fix. Roomy living space, couch, several more upholstered chairs, dining table. Wood burning fireplace (in season). Smartest TV I've seen in a hotel room. Most every streaming service you could think of, and when one wasn't there, it was a breeze to download and add. Full kitchen, basic plates, glasses, silverware. Paper towels provided. Microwave, oven, toaster, dishwasher, full fridge. A few ice trays. If you plan to do your own cooking, plan to take anything more you need. Roomy bathroom, walk in shower, great water pressure. Bed was wavy when moving, so a little partner disturbance, and wife complained it was not great on her back. Ok, but could use a refresh. Daily service as you need; leave a card with what you'd like checked each morning on the door. Overall an excellent place to stay in Townsend. Enough issues that for the price, we may look around a bit before returning.

When we arrived we found several broken things. I assumed it was a cabin in the woods so I guess they just left everything as is after it was broken. However, I watch over my shoulder every step I take and take pictures or videos of everything in case something like this happens. I am livid. We arrived to the cabin our first night of vacation on June 9th around 4:30. We went to purchase groceries for our stay after we unloaded our luggage. On June 10th. We made burgers on the grill outside. We started chocolate chip cookies in the oven after supper. For cookies and a movie with the kids. The cookies were in the oven for six minutes. My husband and I were in the bedroom when my son ran into the bedroom screaming the stove was pouring out smoke. My husband turned the oven off and removed the cookies from the oven. It took a couple of hours to get the smoke smell out of the cabin. My husband looked at the oven the best he could but wasn't sure what was wrong. The only thing we could tell was the heating element above the oven was turning on and the lower element wasn't coming on. I was scared to leave the stove plugged in so I unplugged it for the night and contacted the host. The next morning I plugged it back in and it was doing the same as the night before so I unplugged it again. The host sent out a repair service that arrived that afternoon some time. The repair guy said it malfunctioned and needed to be reset. Well, other than that and the broken stuff. We tried to enjoy vacation. Then I receive a message a little bit ago about the host charging us for damage. I refuse to be charged for something we didn't do. I stay on my kids about cleanliness and being careful not to break stuff, even at my own house. I stay on them about cleaning behind themselves, and when they don't clean behind themselves I clean behind them. I can't stand messes. I can't stand anything being out of place much more. Every dish was washed and put up before we left. Every counter was cleaned. The kitchen table was cleaned. It was killing me not to be able to sweep and mop the floor. However, all that was provided was a broom. No dust pan and no mop. I assure you everything that could be picked up with the bare hand was picked up though. The only towels that were left were the ones we used right before we left and I put those by the washer. The rest were folded and put up. Literally the only things left to do were to make the beds (because we left at 5 a.m. for our nine and a half hour drive) and wash a load of towels. And I left these people 5 star reviews on everything out of the kindness of my heart. ‍

The most delicious and filling you could ask for. Certainly not what you are expecting. The Inn is immaculately clean and beautifully furnished.

Each room opens to a big porch with rocking chairs and swings for enjoying the beautiful and majestic mountains. Or you can enjoy the view from the big windows in your room. We love this place!

​Unsanitary Conditions and Zero Management Response Our…read morerecent stay (March 20-22, 2026) at Zoders Inn & Suites was a disaster that ended in us checking out at 12:30 AM due to a total lack of pest control. After dealing with a spider in the tub and an asian giant hornet in the living area, I was woken up at midnight by a large roach crawling across my arm. Between the peeling wallpaper and a broken bathroom heat lamp that required maintenance, it is clear the property has significantly declined since our last visit years ago. We left exhausted for a six-hour drive home with less than two hours of sleep, and despite requesting a call from management, I have been completely ignored. Unless you enjoy living with bugs and being dismissed by staff, avoid this hotel at all costs.
