Deer Ridge Mountain Resort, Gatlinburg

First, I must state that I may be biased, due to the fact that I found a great deal on this place. Now let me tell you what I liked about this place. The views are absolutely awesome! I dealt with three members of the staff over the two nights we stayed, and each of them was very friendly and accomodating. This place is a peaceful place, located 10 miles from Gatlinburg, which was a personal preference. Although the resort is 25 years old, it is apparent that management takes pride in maintaining their resort. Very clean condos and surroundings. The one thing that may be a negative is , from the inside of your condo, you can hear other guests walking up and down the wooden stairs to their respective condos. I strongly recommend this place!!!

While visiting my brother we stayed in a 2 bedroom condo over looking The Great Smoky Mountains. The rooms were great size and it was very clean and privat! I would refure anyone here and I will be going back in Feb 2008 and will be staying here again!

This place is great. Gatlinburg by day and peace and quiet by night. These rooms are great and fairly large. The views are indescribable. If you want to relax, this is it.

my family of 5 enjoyed everthing about this place....was nice to be in the city then at night go up the mountain and just relax...we have been there twice and are looking to go back this year...kids loved the pool area...staff was very friendly...

I don't know where to start. The condo was spotless, the beds were very comfy, and the view was absolutely breathtaking. We were there in January and used the fireplace both nights we were there which made it sooo cozy. They sell bundles of firewood and kindling at the office. The kitchen is fully furnished. We went away for a relaxing weekend and got just that! Can't wait to go back!

We really liked the room layout. The location and the view is the best I have seen. It was quiet, clean and interesting. The stay was great, we did not want to leave. I hope to return in the near future. All you need are the clothes on your back.

I run a resort in Myrtle Beach and know a little about the hospitality business. This resort is by far the best in the area. Perfect location and heavenly views are guaranteed! Management keeps a tight rein on their resort as you'll constantly see attention being taken to the grounds and common areas. In every room we have ever been in during the course of at least 10 visits, will be a log filled with writings of past guests and their experiences. We have taken the time to read many of these and can honestly say there has NEVER been 1 negative comment excluding the weather. And as far as someone complaining about cleanliness, we say utter nonsense.

We loved it. The condo was excellent with incredible views of the mountains. My kids really enjoyed the indoor recreation area (swimming pool, sauna, steamroom, hot tub, gameroom, video rental). The staff was very friendly and helpful. We have stayed at other places in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, but from now on we will always stay at Deer Ridge. It is close enough to town, but far enough away from it to enjoy the peace and quiet.

The cleaning could have been a lot better in the room. The unit we stayed in also needs some updates to it. Overall, it was an okay stay but have had better. The one plus was the view of the mountains, it is a wonderful location.
