Set within 300 metres of Great Smoky Mountains Railroad and 22 km of Harrah'S Casino, Calhoun House Inn & Suites offers rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Bryson City. Each accommodation at the 5-star guest house has garden views, and guests can enjoy access to a hot tub. There is a picnic area and guests can make use of free WiFi, free private parking and an electric vehicle charging station. Really nice place to stay, the view from the balcony is lovely and so refreshing with goldfinch and red cardinals in the trees. The room is comfortable with coffee and some breakfast foods provided. I walked down to the local bar for food and everyone knew each other and were so lovely. On the walk back from the bar i saw firefly’s and some small frogs in the nearby pond. Ed and Shirley were lovely and there was a cute cat that came and sat with me in the morning. I wish I had more time there.

An outdoor pool with a hot tub, indoor pool, and free WiFi are available to all guests of Gatlinburg Zoders Inn and Suites. Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies is within 10 minutes' walk. The property is a 5 minutes' walk from the Ole Red restaurant and Landshark Bar and Grill.

The inn is 2 km from Great Smoky Mountains National Park and 11 minutes’ drive from Pigeon Forge city centre. Dollywood theme park is 16 km away. Zoders is in a perfect location - on the north end of Gatlinburg so you can avoid the traffic when heading north. It's a five minute walk to the center of town. The grounds are spectacular: great diversity of rooms that I had fun expolring, a firepit area that is peaceful and a great indoor pool so you can take a dip even in cold December. I had a room with a balcony right on the river - I kept the door open all night to I could listen to the water.

We stayed there back when an ice storm hit and their internet was down and couldn’t take our card payment to book us they made arrangements for us even tho it took us longer than expected to arrive due to weather. They worked to accommodate us even in those circumstances. Will always return to stay there. Best hospitality in the area.
