What Guests Are Saying

“Our family (2 adults and 2 teens) decided to take a quick getaway over Memorial Day weekend. I used credit card points for our hotel and looked at soooo many places. Why did I choose The Inn at Apple Valley? 1- THE REVIEWS! 2- PETS NOT ALLOWED!! (This is huge for me as we have a child with dog allergies) 3- It was refundable in case we had to cancel We were so glad we chose this hotel!! It definitely lived up to the reviews for cleanliness!! It’s hard to find places that don’t gross me out but this one was so clean even my husband commented on it!! It smelled wonderful and I loved that it didn’t have carpeted floors in the rooms. Check in was super easy and we found our room without issue. It was in a great location and we were able to get everywhere we wanted to go easily. The beds and pillows were comfortable. We had a two queen room with a sofa which was great for our family. We had plenty of room for a two night stay. We didn’t use the pools but they looked clean. My husband and son ate the breakfast (I slept in!) and it was good. Stay here! You won’t regret it!” — 2xmommy, 5 stars

“Located on the Parkway just before crossing the Little Pigeon river into.Pigeon Forge. While it has been there for some time,not is extremely well maintained and modern. The rates are good but that is my opinion as I like this brand.of hotel. Like a clean room? Well they do.A great job cleaning. The are nicely decorated and A good size. It is generally quite but you will hear a door slam from time to.time, but it is usually a child. The staff is always friendly and helpful. We have even found the cleaners to be helpful. They offer a breakfast every morning but we like to eat breakfast out. They have both an indoor and outdoor.pool for thoses.wishing to swim ( like my granddaughter).” — C C., 5 stars

“I like to visit the Smokies in the spring and fall. I’ve stayed at The Inn at Apple Valley most of those trips. I just returned from my fall trip and was extremely pleased with my room. The furniture was shining and very clean. I would highly recommend this hotel. The breakfast is good but not great. If you want a better breakfast, just go to the Applewood Farmhouse restaurant which is across the road. Cleanliness is my main concern when booking a hotel and this one is well maintained.” — KYtravelcat, 5 stars
