Here at Sidney James Mountain Lodge, there is nothing we like more than getting feedback from our guests! We love hearing all about the fun you had at our hotel and in the Gatlinburg area. In our hundreds of reviews, certain things are mentioned again and again. To help you plan your vacation, we have put together a convenient guide to what guests loved the most about staying at our Gatlinburg TN hotel.
1. Walking Distance to Downtown Gatlinburg
Sidney James Mountain Lodge is just a 10 minute walk from the Parkway! Here is what guests had to say about our location:
“It was in a great location, close to all of Gatlinburg’s attractions but still far enough away from the constant traffic.”
“The Sidney James is located near the top of the Historic Nature Trail (stoplight #8) just up from the Space Needle. I loved the location…It’s a short, pleasant walk (downhill) to the main strip. It is very private and because it’s near the top you don’t hear all the foot traffic and car noise you would get on the strip.”
“At the top of Historic Nature Trail, it’s close enough to walk to the Parkway, but far enough away to be quiet.”

2. Catch the Gatlinburg Trolley Right Outside
If you would prefer not to walk, you will find a Gatlinburg Trolley stop in front of our main lobby. These convenient trolleys cost just 50 cents per ride. Here is what online reviewers said about catching the trolley at our Gatlinburg TN hotel:
“A nice benefit is that it is right on a trolley stop – red line directly out front, and green line right across the road.”
“A trolley stops right at the front door and you can purchase all day passes at the hotel.”
“There is a trolley stop right outside, which is great because the parking in gatlinburg is around $8. You can ride the trolley all day for $2.”
3. Wonderful Indoor and Outdoor Pools
Whether it’s a beautiful summer’s day or the middle of winter, you can always go swimming at Sidney James Mountain Lodge! Here is what guests had to say about our pools:
