What can you say... it's instantly home. Vern and the team don't make you feel at home or like family. You ARE home and with family. It's so peaceful and relaxing. The views are breathtaking and honestly I can't imagine a more perfect B&B. Apparently, I'm in good company as they have been thriving for decades. The evening desserts are legendary as are the breakfast. We had nanner puddin' one night as thry must have known that was my weakness. They also made some delicious cranberry cookies that everyone was devouring. There was also a apple cake that was exceptional. For breakfast we had a delightful soufflé one morning and Lisa's famous PB&J drizzled french toast the other. It was rich, tasty and looked like art! The walls are covered in Vern's art along with a section on the 2nd floor by Woods, Vern's son. Our family owns numerous pieces from Vern's collection and love finding the hidden fairies in his pieces. Finally the rooms. We absolutely LOVED our room! They are all beautifully appointed with a wonderful king sized bed, jacuzzi bathtub, fire place, A/C and monstrous balcony with swings and rocking chairs. If there's any question, it's the balcony that sets this place apart from the rest of the world. The view is exceptional and they know it. It's the perfect set up for a relaxing night listening to natures sounds, watching the smoke hide and uncover the mountains and relaxing with a cup of coffee. What makes Hippensteal so special: - The view - The house - The food - The people (Vern, his amazing team and the great folks you'll meet who are also staying at the inn).

My husband and I took a weekend getaway with our 8y/o son to this amazing B&B. The place was very well kept and everything (including the view) was beautiful. Very clean! The breakfast was the best I have ever eat and they even catered to my son making him hot chocolate and pancakes. They have a fresh dessert made for you in the kitchen after you come in from dinner each night. They make you feel like family, and you hate to leave when it's time to go. This was our first stay at Hippensteal's, but I hope it is not the last! I cannot wait to book our next visit here!

French toast is truly unique and expertly made like everything at Hippensteal's!

We spent 4 nights at Hippensteal's in late November 2018. We were amazed by the accommodations, the food and the staff. We went to Hippensteal's to complete our first marriage retreat and to celebrate our 30th anniversary. (The retreat material was from Marriage Today if you want to know more.) The staff expertly handled any of our requests. Vern was just a joy to speak with and was so knowledgeable about the Smokies. Cannot wait to schedule a return trip next year! You will not regret a decision to spend some time at Hippensteal's Mountain View Inn. Our stay was truly amazing!

Gorgeous rooms, stunning views (no matter which room), 5 star food and service. Every single detail is elegant. Only a few miles from downtown Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, but feels like you're on your own private mountain. I cannot recommend this B&B enough.

Wonderful Inn with very gracious owners and staff. The rooms are very spacious and decorated beautifully . The breakfast was incredible. A great place to stay.

View from the porch. We stayed in Summer's Lace.

This was a nice stay in sevierville away from the crowd of gatlinburg…read more First check in was super quick and there were no issues. As we were walking through the halls we were greeted friendly by stay so this hotel definitely has hospitality down from our experience. The rooms were large and clean and beds were super comfy. There's no confusing light switches they some hotels tend to have. I didn't ever find a safe in the room but you have drawers to store clothes in the living room and an armoire to hang things if you so choose. The hotel breakfast was great they had oatmeal, 3 cereal choices including fruit Loops, okios yogurt, muffins, eggs, biscuits, sausage, pancakes and more. Overall a solid breakfast station and it was clean. We enjoyed our stay very well and the view from this location gives a nice view overlooking the gatlinburg mountains.

Very speedy and quick process. Hotel was very clean and free of clutter. Very quiet and even more secluded once we asked to be away from elevators. Room is awesome. I had a balcony view and it was amazing. I got to see the mountains from all different rays. Got to witness a beautiful breathtaking sunset as well. Rooms were very clean and they supply you with Dove products. Yay. All rooms come with refrigerator, and microwave and we were very excited with two televisions. In the morning you get a full breakfast and we stayed and got to experience a different selection each morning. The cinnamon rolls OMG . Great!!! Coffee was delicious and I got to try some different flavors of yogurts. The only con was painters taking up all parking spots when parking was already limited. Not to say you couldn't park in the back . But parking in the front was very convenient. Overall I'm very glad I chose this franchise to join .

I recently purchased a brand new rental cabin in the Smoky Mountains that I manage from Las Vegas…read more Mandy and Billy Gerken, owners of Comfort in the Smokies, are the most important members of my team on the ground in Pigeon Forge, TN. I literally could not manage my cabin, nor consistently meet my goal of 5-star reviews, without their committed involvement in the smooth running of my cabin. Not only are they a very experienced and professional cabin cleaning company, large enough to take on many cabins of any size, but they are my eyes and ears and muscle. Mandy runs a large, experienced cleaning crew. And Billy and Stephanie take care of all of my handyman tasks, like accepting Amazon shipments at their homes then assembling furniture at the cabin, and troubleshooting plumbing issues, and getting my brand-new cabin rent-ready by purchasing and installing blinds and drapes in every window, and 100 other things they have already done for me. They are excellent communicators. They are proactive, often letting me know if something is amiss or needs attention. They offer advice on things like throw rugs and pots and pans that should be added to the new cabin and I take their advice and they are always right. I interviewed 4 cleaning companies before deciding to work with Mandy and Billy. They are the most expensive of the 4 by a fair bit, but they are worth every penny. I trust them completely.

Initially started out great ! They became too big with many clients and cussed some lax in quality…read morecontrol

I have to say this was a wonderful stay from beginning to end!!!!…read moreCheck-in was very easy as we were checking in on the right hand side of the lobby the gentleman at the counter checking us in and then the gentleman who issued our parking passes an pool passes was very polite! The room was very clean and well organized for our stay an we had everything we needed from a fully stocked kitchen, washer/dryer, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in both of the bathrooms. The very first few days we spent at the waterpark area, which I have to say is very much geared, to kids and families with smaller children. We spent a lot of time on the rooftop pool and seating area to enjoy the sun. We did not eat any food that was at the resort as we made most of our meals in the condo!! If you're there to play golf, this is a great location because the golf course is in the same parking lot!!! We were a little sad that the outdoor pool area was closed. It looked like renovations were going on, but they did give you waterpark tickets to Soaky Mountain free of cost. I absolutely love the idea of having our bracelet to be able to get into the building and into our room and into the waterpark. It made it an ease and not have to worry about holding onto a key card or remembering a code. I also love the fact that they reach out to you by text so if you need anything at any given time, it's very easy. They also check on you during your stay and remind you of checkout through text, which is very nice. I can say this was a great staycation for us and we will have family staying when they come into town!!!!

Listen for less than $200 I was able to get a nice hotel stay, and two days of waterpark access for…read moreour family of 4! We used the deal found on Groupon and it was seamless! **Do note the Groupon is for 4 ppl only after 4 ppl you do incur an additional person fee. Even though it says the room fits up to 6 ppl it only covers the waterpark and everything for 4 ppl. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone with kids of all ages!! They have so much for young kids, to 6-12 and then the big kids too! We will be back!

We had 5 adults in a 2 bedroom and tons of space to spare, it definitely could have handled the full 8 person capacity. The kitchen was stocked with everything we could possibly need. The beds were comfy, and our unit was clearly remodled recently. The in unit laundry was amazing! I brought jetted tub cleaner, but was surprised when I ran it, it was already really clean! We loved our time at the pool, seeing the Dollywood fireworks from our balcony, and sunsets from the upper floor trash area at the west facing buildings (dont knock it till you try it!) Side note: We aren't owners, so I was worried about high pressure check-ins like I read about, but it was fine. Apparently 2 years ago they were bought by Travel & Leisure and changed tactics. They offered free tickets to attend an info session, I said no thank you and they gave me the keys. They have a great texting based system for updates and everything you need (like towels, dishwasher tablets, etx.) and they were super fast in responding! We had an amazing week! We did a mix of everything and it was nice being right on the edge of everything in Pigeon Forge and 30 mins from Gatlinburg. Honestly I only held back the 5th star because we did have a pretty big black bug run through, but we were on a 1st floor room, which is actually downstairs and there was a visible gap under our door that it likely ran in (we are backed up to woods, and thats what I choose to believe). I sent them a note that they really need weather stripping!

So we have been to quite a few club wyndhams. This by far is on the bottom of the list. We had…read morefruit flies bad when we checked into our room. They came & sprayed which did nothing. The clubhouse would be great , but total ass holes were running a muck and the poor staff couldn't do anything. Then in the indoor pool had a couple of whales who were running and cannonballing into pool. Which I didn't allow my kids to be jerks. We ended up leaving. It's not enjoyable getting soaked. And if I wanted to be splashed like that I would have went to sea world. Again the employees were sorry, but said there was nothing they could do. The put put was a joke and not convenient to the club house for balls and clubs. The coffee is the worst!!!
