The location, facilities and unit was AMAZING. 100% perfection. Exactly as described when we booked it.
The strict part included times allowed to be outside in the common areas. There was a beautiful spot with firepits, but we could not use them past 10pm. had to go inside. same with the pool and hot tub.
There was also a very nice inside lounge area that could not be used after 5pm when the office closed.
The strict rules definitely too away something from our group. It all depends on what you are looking for I guess.

Cannot beat the view from your room...or the fire pit...or the pool...or the fitness room. And the inside is absolutely beautiful! My wife did not want to leave. Easy access to the park, as well as the less touristy side of gatlinburg. Be aware, there were bears present around the facility, so follow the directions of the staff. Do not leave food in your car. Someone had their truck bed cover wrecked by a bear while we were there. Regardless, would book here in a heartbeat if we visit again.

I highly recommend Highlands. Very clean and well kept properties. Great location a mile to downtown Gatlinburg. We will stay again in the near future.

Our stay at Highlands of the Smokies was fantastic! The condo was clean and spacious and we felt very comfortable there, would definitely recommend.

Had a great time. Stayed in condo. 109. Very roomy and comfortable plenty of room for four adults. The view out of the glass panels were magnificent and breathtaking. Had minor issue with patio door lock but maintenance was quick to respond.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom suite and it was perfection! The property was clean and well maintained. We visited Dollywood and this was the perfect place to land afterwards. We will be back!
