Has anyone ever stayed at Zoder's Inn?

itlepeanut, lovegb here, the only rooms I have stayed at Zoders was their Dream Villa and Executive Suite. I have not stayed in their regular rooms.

The Dream Villa was a very large room (at least twice the size of a normal room) King bed, gas FP in the corner, large jacuzzi, sitting area, and bath. I think there was also a wet bar area. There was not a balcony and it was located on the opposite side of the hotel from the stream.

The Executive suite was 2 rooms, living room with wood burning fireplace, bedroom with balcony (I don%26#39;t think it was over the stream), bathroom, no jacuzzi.

I think they have a standard room with a fireplace available. If you are going in Dec, the fireplace would be nice.

There is a poster on here named Christy, that always stays at Zoders and knows alot about them, maybe she will see this post and reply with some more info.

Zoders has a website with views of all their rooms, but it is currently under construction and there are no views available.

hope this helps.

The Rooms with Double Beds are closest to the main office and street. They have balconies over the stream and the rooms are smaller than the Deluxe King Rooms. We stay at Zoder%26#39;s Inn a week in August every year for vacation and anniversary. We love it here. The Deluxe King Rooms are the best.

One King Bed with nice furniture, table and chairs beside window by creek, mini bar in room and balcony overlooking stream. My husband and I are picky about sleeping on a comfortable mattress and we always get a good one here. The Indoor Pool with Waterfall

is a big plus for us staying here and the fact that the place is spotless clean and people are nice.

By the way the Deluxe King Rooms are located in the back part of the resort and are more relaxing.

I%26#39;m the Christy the last Post was talking

about.

Christy, I was hoping you would see this post, because I knew you would have more good info about Zoders.

Now, I have a question for you. The Deluxe King rooms at Zoders, do any of them have a fireplace? As I mentioned in my last post, we have stayed in the suites, which are nice but would like to have a fireplace without the higher price.

Thanks, lovegb

Yes! They do offer rooms with fireplaces all arew located facing the outdoor swimming pool area. They also have a Courtyard Suite that has a fireplace and a Jacuzzi Suite the suites are located up high above the other rooms in fact you have to take a elevator up.

Another hotel in Gatlinburg overlooking a stream is The Edgewater. We usually take the kids to GB every February for the weekend to swim in a heated pool and eat pancakes and look at all the junk located on the GB strip. I must say that we have never found a hotel with a heated pool that was REALLY nice. Most all of the hotels in GB are old (including Zoders and Edgewater) and need updating and some are just downright disgusting. The only exception to this was the Fairfield Inn located just at the entrance to GB. It is new and has a tiny indoor heated pool - but no stream. It%26#39;s also far away from anything else in GB. The trolley has a pickup stop there, but then the trolley is not quite reliable either.

I live in Knoxville so I%26#39;m well acquainted with GB. Unfortunately I think GB and Pigeon Forge are overrated and contain too many tourist traps. PF has all of the amusement park rides and GB has more than its fair share of T-Shirt shops. I wish there was a true mountain village devoted to just being ';the mountains'; and living in nature.

There is one small place in GB that is fairly nice to visit...The Village. It%26#39;s right on the main drag through GB, but it%26#39;s a brick-paved Old-World type of enclave offering an oasis of calm from the ravages of GB. There are several unique shops, a bug water fountain, and, of course, the Donut Friar.
