About Fryemont Inn
The Fryemont Inn wins hearts as a genuinely historic mountain lodge where character trumps modern amenities every time. Guests who've been coming back for years or even decades rave about the peaceful, old-school atmosphere, exceptional restaurant and bar, and welcoming staff who make it feel like a home away from home. This is decidedly not a place for those seeking contemporary hotel polish—the floors are uneven, many rooms lack AC and TVs, and the exterior needs some TLC—but that's precisely the charm for visitors seeking an authentic escape from the crowds of Gatlinburg.
