Berry Springs Lodge

Berry Springs Lodge is a relaxing Smoky Mountain bed and breakfast resort retreat designed for guests that are looking for a quiet romantic getaway in the Great Smoky Mountains.

Far from the “Madding Crowd”.

Reviewed By luvmaine95

Wife and I were looking for a comfortable and relaxing place to stay away from the frenetic atmosphere of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Blueberry Springs Lodge is an amazing isle of tranquility nestled in the Smokey Mountains and only a short drive from Dollywood. The hillside setting is serene and peaceful. The room we had had the rustic but modern charm of the country, but with thoroughly modern amenities. A freshly prepared breakfast was available every morning in the dining room and a fresh baked snack along with assorted beverages was available in the evening. Melissa and Nick made us feel welcome with their honest southern hospitality and charm. Truly, Blueberry Springs Lodge captures the idealized essence of the welcome of the people and a place in the Smokey Mountains.

Short, but nice stay

Like most places, they are struggling to find help, and it showed a bit with a check-in process that lacked a welcome and needed information. However, after that the rooms were great and the friendly atmosphere saved the experience.

Walking Distance from Everything you Need

Reviewed By kelseyjacobi10

Very clean and nice place to stay. We stayed here 3 nights and enjoyed that we were within f walking distance of pretty much anything. I wish the parking lot offered a bit more security as it is just an “open air” lot, and when I went for my run I noticed in the immediate area a lot of broken car window glass on the ground in parking spots indicating break ins are fairly common. The area seemed to be slightly dodgey but I was just fine going for a run by myself. Room itself is nice for 2 people. We weren’t in it much other than to sleep, shower, and R&R a little before the next event. They have a washer and dryer and full kitchen for you to use. Check in was easy. Always an electric scooter seems to be waiting right outside for you to zip to your next destination. Lots of food within 5 minutes walking time right by it. Great place to stay and would stay here again!!

Nice roadside motel.

Reviewed By NYAnge53

Nice family run motel. Our room was clean. Comfy king bed. Refrig, microwave, coffeemaker. Front desk and other staff members very willing to please. Small complimentary snacks and coffee in office. We didn’t expect a pool but FYI it hasn’t been opened in years. If in Lynchburg again we would return.

Great new hotel; front desk lacking…

Reviewed By tareviews2016

This new FFI is beautiful. Two-story lobby is great. Rooms nice and spacious. I was about to give my review 5 stars but at checkout, the FDA appears to not like to do his job. Simply requested a print out of my bill and he had an air about him like he shouldn’t be bothered with stupid guest requests. Otherwise, I loved this Fairfield Inn.

A One Night Stay

Reviewed By Busymomoftwins

We chose to stay at Comfort Inn of Athens, Tennessee because we needed a night of rest before continuing our trip to Pigeon Forge. The beds were suitable, but the pillows were not as comfortable as we would have liked. Since we arrived so late, we did not get to enjoy the pool area. We also slept in past the breakfast hour, so we cannot testify to the breakfast quality or options. However, the room certainly suited all of our needs for one night, so we would return if we were ever in the area again.
