The staff was wonderful but the hotel needs some updating. Other things are being built up around them and if they don't up their game I'm afraid they won't be around for much longer.
This is not the first time we have stayed here and it was a little better last time than this time. We had an issue with our first room and they moved us without a problem and the second room was better.

The tub had not been cleaned in months. Bed linens were not changed. They didnt smell clean, and there were body hairs all over them. Floors looked dingy. I don't know why all the reviews say that this place is clean. It was one of the grossest places I've ever stayed.

Tire swing, basketball court, of course the pool was a hit, & you can rent bikes. We didnt stay for the weekend to enjoy the restaurant & live band but overall it was great especially for the price. There was a firepit area too! Every staff member i met was super friendly & helpful. Lots of parking available too.

The motel has seen its better days and probably hasn’t been updated since the late 80’s. The staff were friendly, but it didn’t make up for the horrible state of the place. Do not bother eating at the restaurant. Everything is bland and not worth the price. We didn’t have towels in our room and had to go to the front desk to get them. The bed’s mattress looked about 30 years old with shot springs. The tub floor was chipping and gross. The worst part of my stay was that we were on the lower lever and the people above us decided to wake up at 3:30am and start pacing throughout their room nonstop until we finally got up and left at 7am. The floors would creak loudly with every foot step. It was so loud that I thought the floors were about to buckle beneath them.. The place needs a major renovation. It’s a shame because we prefer to stay at “local” places rather than chains.

This is the cutest little property. Made to look like a log cabin and with several log cabins on the property. Great big open field to watch birds and other wildlife. We walked around the property to look at the creek, walk across a little wooden bridge, walk around the other log cabins and pathways. Their on site restaurant was closed (I couldn't tell if it was permanently or temporarily or if we were just there on nights it wasn't open), but the staff was very helpful in finding other local restaurants to try. It's a simple room with simple accommodations but it was all we needed for a concert at the nearby Caverns.

This place was really cute and the staff friendly and helpful. The only reason I'm giving it 4 starts instead of 5 is because the internet leaves a lot to be desired, and it's located in an area that doesn't get very good cell coverage so internet is kind of important. It went out frequently, but the hotel was full the weekend we were there. If they invested a little more in good internet it'd be five stars.

We stayed in a one-room cabin, upon opening the door, we were overwhelmed by the very strong musky smell. The cabin was filthy, with boxes left under the table from prior guests. The room was dusty, with a dirty bathtub and spiderwebs. We did not sleep well due to the smell of the cabin and the fear of spiders, as evident by a spider in the bathroom sink.

Our stay went well, however after checkout we discovered one of our shirts was left at the hotel. Called front desk to ask if it had been reported/turned in and they stated they were “unable to check until the current occupant checked out”. I asked if the person responsible for cleaning room 303 on 6/10 reported any unattended items left and they said “they could find something and not say anything, best to call back on Monday” (almost a week after our stay).

Their staff is stealing items from guests, terrible way to end an overall decent stay. Will not return or recommend. Photo of stolen item provided.

The lodge was very neat looking. The rooms are a little dated but we weren't there to spend time in the room so that wasn't an issue really. Beds were comfortable and the ac was able to make this bear sleep like a baby I mean it made it almost icebox cold. The Smoke house patio and grill around back was an interesting place to eat. The setting was very unique and the atmosphere was very low key and relaxed. On the weekends they have live performances on the stage inside. We got to listen to Dave Pahanish who has written for many AList country singers like Tim McGraw, Keith Urban and Toby Keith. Food was pretty good and fairly priced. All in all if we were ever to be visiting the area we would definitely stay again.

Sink plunger wouldn't open so had to prop it open with a plastic spoon in order for water to drain. Very little water pressure in shower. Bar 'frig but no microwave. Water smelled of bleach.

Although it had a musty smell, the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The air conditioner removed the smell over a short amount of time. The restaurant, from what I understand, burned down a few years ago. However, they have rebuilt the dining area in the back of the hotel property. Food trucks serve as a temporary kitchen.

Clean room. Nice staff. Older 2.5 star \"motel-like\" property. Basic amenities. Served our needs for a rest after a long night drive on our way to visit Ruby Falls. The Internet is NOT reliable at this property. They say it's in the room but it doesn't work well. There are about 4 networks you can connect to but NONE of them really worked reliably. The Internet is spotty at best even if you try to use it in the lobby. There is no continental breakfast but coffee and tea are available in the lobby. And you have a restaurant next door, a Piggly Wiggly grocery store and a Waffle House a nearby, and gas stations for you to refuel and jump back on the freeway easily. This place is fine for a rest stop after a long drive.

The rooms are clean although a little dated. The bed was very comfortable. We arrived around dark and were extremely exhausted from many hours of driving. We were up early the next morning and on the road again. We stayed here 2 different times in a 10 day period, on the way to Florida and on the way back. It wasn't the first time we've stayed here and probably won't be the last. The area just west of there on I24 is beautiful and we would love to actually STAY in the area sometime instead of just passing through. If you are actually staying for a while, book a cabin, they are well worth it (did that in the past). Would also be really nice if they got their restaurant fully opened back up like it was before the fire some years ago; I was lucky enough to enjoy a great breakfast there in 2019.

We stayed at the Smokehouse Lodge and had a terrible experience in our original room. The check in process was smooth and being transferred to another room was smooth but that was the extent of the good parts. Our original room seemed clean on entry but there was piss in the toilet which should have been the first red flag. We just flushed it and said no big deal but when we tried to go to bed we ran into more issues. The sheets felt a little gritty and when we got out our flashlights we realized there was dirt and glass shards towards the foot area of the bed. Our sheets had not been cleaned. I immediately returned to the check in desk and because it was already midnight we decided to stay and get a different room. The next room was cleaned thankfully but the mattress was insanely uncomfortable. The front desk worker said they were having trouble getting good cleaning maids but that is no excuse - if a room hasnt been cleaned appropriately it should not be rented out. I would recommend staying at a different hotel.

Loved that it was pet friendly! But definitely needs updating in the rooms itself. When I first arrived there was a tv on the bed. The bed was very uncomfortable and the way it was set up was very strange. I booked a room with a king mattress and what I got what two full mattress pushed together to make one. I felt like meat inside a Taco while laying on that bed. Also the bathroom is so smallll. Was only given one towel and wash cloth but I booked for two people to stay. Did not receive any conditioner for the shower. The flooring was all separated from each other. I will say if you are bringing cats; this is probably not the place to book mainly because they will just hid underneath the bed (which is disgustingly dirty) and never come out. Trying to get my babies out from under the bed was so difficult and when I finally got them out they were covered in bugs and dust! Overall I would never stay there again
