We chose Carr's after a not so good experience at another motel- we just needed it for one night and had no reservation. The office was very accomodating and provided us with a room along side the river stream which our balcony faced. This was my favorite part..very peaceful and serene. The rooms were not immaculately decorated or anything but... More

I have stayed at Carrs several times in the past and it has been nice. But this time the beds were VERY uncomfortable. The hardest mattresses I have EVER been on. I mentioned it at checkout and the desk clerk acted like she didn't care. If you decide to stay there,,check out the bed,,BEFORE you retire for the night,,,so maybe... More

I discovered Carr's Northside cottages quite by accident one time when visiting Gatlinburg in the early 80's. Driving around I spotted the sign from Hwy 321 and turned in ....what I found when I pulled in was like a scene from the 40's and 50's. A true, peaceful, yet somewhat dated resort!...The appearance is actually now, what draws me to... More

We have stayed twice here. The last time being in April 2013. Love the atmosphere that surrounds this place. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. We love the stream side and can't wait to stay again. We were supposed to be there in December 2012, but had to change our reservation and they were extremely understanding. You do not... More

My husband and I (in our 30s) stayed at Carrs a few years ago, and decided to return in mid-May after learning they were running a special for creekside hotel rooms for under $60 a night. We knew what to expect, and indeed not much has changed - we found Carrs to be quaint and quiet, as it was the... More

This was the first time I stayed at Carr's. It was a last minute vacation and there was only one room left. It was thier smallest room but it accomodated us fine. The staff was very friendly and the location was great.

We travel to Gatlinburg several times a year and stay here every time. The cottages are great, I recommend requestiong one on the creek. It is nice to sit out on your balcony in the evening listening to the water and have a beer or glass of wine. Great location as you can easily walk into town, but it is... More

We met at Carr's this week for the third straight year for a men's retreat the surroundings of Carr's along the river make for the perfect setting for a peaceful weekend to get away from the hustle and bustle of busy lives and remind ourselves of all we have to be grateful for. I would recommend Carr's to anyone visiting... More

We have been going to Gatlinburg 31 years, and have never stayed at Carr's until this weekend. We were extremely surprised at the value we received staying here. We rented a cottage on the river. It had two queen beds upstairs in an big, open bedroom. There was also the main bathroom upstairs. Downstairs had a small kitchen, small dining... More

Homemade pizza and a fire sound like a great idea for a rainy day (and we've sure had plenty of those lately!). We look forward to seeing you again on a return trip. More

We had planned to spend most of our time in the park so we were simply looking for clean, quiet and affordable accommodations. Carr's fit the bill pretty well. It's an older facility but it's clean & well run. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We really don't like the Gatlinburg tourist attractions so we were glad that it... More
