About The Hotel
Timbers Lodge on East Wears Valley Road is a 3.6-rated (817 reviews) budget lodge on the Pigeon Forge Parkway, with a pool, free breakfast, and a pet-friendly policy at a low price near the attractions. An affordable option, but the 3.6 rating reflects real complaints about upkeep and condition, so set expectations to budget and read recent reviews; the pool is the shared water feature, with jetted-tub rooms a category to confirm at booking. It is a dated budget lodge perfect for travelers on a tight budget who don’t mind older accommodations.
What Guests Are Saying
“The first thing I want to say about this place is the kindness of the people working here. We got a call before check-in time telling us our room was ready and we could check in anytime. I mentioned that we were at a dance competition and before we hung up she said “Good Luck”. The next day she remembered our conversation and asked how she did!! The room was clean, the beds were comfortable. We had a microwave- mini fridge- and coffee maker in our room. There were 3 chairs to sit in. The only negative (and for us it didn’t matter at all) was that the bathroom needed repainted and maybe updated.” — Guest, 5 stars
“Excellent stay. Location is very convenient to wherever you want to visit while in the Pigeon Forge and Sevierville area. Room was clean and had everything we needed. The mattress was a little firm for me but my husband loved it. Perfect place to stay while traveling with our dog. We got a good deal on Booking.com and the motel charges $25 per pet per night which was in line with most places in the area. They did not charge my card a security deposit like most places which I really appreciate.” — Guest, 5 stars
“This hotel strikes the perfect balance between peaceful surroundings and a prime location. We loved hearing the sound of the creek from our balcony each evening after exploring downtown Gatlinburg. The rooms were spotless, the air conditioning worked perfectly, and check-in was a breeze. The staff went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. Highly recommend Quality Inn Creekside for couples and families alike!” — Bill T., 5 stars

"Synopsis: Decently rated hotel if you need something quick and comfortable but don’t expect modernization in its offerings. We stayed in a King room with a jacuzzi. We were pleasantly surprised. The room was HUGE. Highest ceilings in a hotel I’ve ever seen. Whole living/sitting area, table seating next to the kitchenette area(stove, coffee, microwave, fridge/freezer - no ice maker). So much space for activities. Huge TV. Bed was decent. Bathroom was very updated and modern. The shower had 2 shower heads, and a jacuzzi tub. Super relaxing. While the hotel and rooms seemed a little darker, I think it’s the age of the hotel showing but everything was clean so I personally didn’t mind the older personality. Even the parking lot was well maintained. No trash for being in a centralized area. Of course we were on the backside of the building by the river so it was quiet, no noise of the traffic. Service was great when checking in/out. The included breakfast is more of a snack bar so don’t expect to eat on site."

The staff was incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home from check-in to checkout. The location couldn’t be better — right in the heart of Pigeon Forge, close to The Island, great restaurants, and Dollywood. The breakfast was hot and delicious every morning, and the kids had a blast in the pool. Highly recommend for families or couples looking for comfort and convenience!"

It was peaceful and still close to everything the town has to offer — restaurants, shops, and local attractions are all just a short drive away. The room was clean and comfortable, with a great-sized TV for relaxing movie nights and a nice jacuzzi tub. We also loved the nearby dog walks — perfect for getting some fresh air and letting our pup explore. Overall, a good stay! I would recommend this cabin-style hotel to anyone looking for a quick retreat that still has comfort and convenience."
