Perched on a mountain ridge in Gatlinburg, Westgate Smoky Mountain Resort & Water Park offers a rustic-luxe escape that feels deeply immersed in nature. Families flock here for the Wild Bear Falls water park, but the real magic lies in the immaculate cabin-style villas featuring cozy stone fireplaces and full kitchens. Outside of the high-pressure sales environment, guests consistently report the hospitality staff is warm and responsive. For a true insider upgrade, request a unit in the 6000 building to secure the resort's most breathtaking, unobstructed views.
We really enjoyed ourselves on our vacation. King bed was super comfy but couch bed mattresses were paper thin. Pool was relaxing and bar had great selections. Indoor waterpark was fun for the kids. Rooms were spacious and allowed us to cook several meals. Great central location.
