Quaint yet Cozy Accommodations Found at Gatlinburg's Smoky Pines Motel

The Smoky Pines Motel in Gatlinburg is a quaint property located in the Baskins Creek area, just off the parkway in downtown Gatlinburg. The motel specializes in providing hospitable accommodations reflecting the natural aspect of the Smoky Mountains that surround the area. Double/Double rooms and King rooms are the standard room types available, and each has a unique design.

The double/double unit I lodged in reminded me of a cabin in its style and provided more of a homey touch than regular, run-of-the-mill motel rooms. The two double beds, which had pillow top mattresses, were surrounded by rustic lodge décor in earthy tones like greens and browns, with pine ceilings complimenting the entire room and moderately used case goods found throughout. A flat screen TV is also in-room, as are some chairs for relaxing. The bathroom was rather small, but efficient.

The King room was, of course, more spacious than the double/double unit and it also came equipped with a seasonal fireplace. All room types come standard with microwave, mini-fridge and free wireless internet.  Please note, wireless internet is not available during the winter months.

Amenities at the Gatlinburg Smoky Pines Motel include an outdoor pool and sun deck.
