Zoder's is such a unique hotel and unlike any other we have stayed at before. The creek running under our balcony was amazing and sleeping to the sound of it at night was heavenly. It looks just as quaint as the pictures! The hotel is on the edge of town so was out of the hustle and bustle of the rest of Gatlinburg which we enjoyed. Gatlinburg is a very walkable town and we didn't use our car once during our two day visit. There is a coaster ride next door but they close at 10 and we couldn't hear it from our room (our room number was 227) however rooms closer to the coaster may be more noisy? We did the coaster ride at night and it was super fun!

This motel was the best. We had high expectations, because the photos were so quaint. The small stream really did tumble right under our balcony. We could have sat there all day, but we really came to see Gatlinburg, so off we went. You can actually walk Gatlinburg from here (we did with me on crutches.) Speaking of which, when we checked in late in the evening, the front desk clerk was so kind and friendly. He was very helpful to my friends, since being on crutches I was unable to carry much to the room. They provided a golf cart ride for me to get to the breakfast each day. The rooms are very clean, and really opened to the small stream. Even though we were right off the parkway, we did not hear the traffic. The breakfast was adequate, limited offering, but really it was fine. They have a lovely indoor pool and hot tub, also with a view of the small stream. Every member of the staff that we had interactions were helpful, and kind. We would definitely stay here again.
