"Well, if your looking for a charming old country clean hotel with views. THIS IS IT! FIRST, the hotel staff were all VERY friendly and helpful when it came to checking in. Lots of mixed reviews on this hotel but i am coming here to tell you, its an 80's hotel thats very well kept! Very CLEAN! Parking was easy, close to everything in pigeon forge but tucked back from the road so you feel like in a nice country setting. The creek that runs alongside the hotel keeps changing in views frok birds to people to beautiful waterfall type sounds. We are thankful we stopped here. Again. It may not be the place for your if your looking for a RITZY Hilton. But, it sure made me and my family happy for a very affordable rate. Thanks Creekstone! We will be back! Close to a go cart track for your kids if they are anything like mine!!!!"

"First time visit. Wonderful mini vaca with our grandchildren. We will return again. Grandchildren rhiyght the bunk beds and scavenger hunt was great . Loved all the water slides and pools- enjoyable for all ages. The lifeguards added to the fun with encouraging words to our grands. Never a dull moment with all the activities too! A big shout out to Ty, Cynthia, Maddie and Jasmine for going the extra mile engaging and accommodating which just added to make the time more special."

"Great place to stay! There is so much to do at The Resort at Governor’s Crossing that you could easily spend your entire trip there without ever needing to leave. It also has very easy access to many of the popular attractions. We came for a special Birthday Girls’ Trip celebration and had four generations of women together, ranging in age from 80 years old down to 4 years old. We were celebrating my oldest granddaughter’s 13th birthday, and she requested to come back here for all of her future birthdays. The younger girls agreed and requested the same! I believe a new family tradition has begun. What a wonderful place to make special memories together!"
