Sidney James Mountain Lodge

Nestled in the Great Smoky Mountains, the Sidney James Mountain Lodge is within walking distance to downtown Gatlinburg and just minutes from Great Smoky Mountain National Park. The lodge sits on a beautiful stream, and guest rooms offer stunning views overlooking the surrounding mountains. Plus, there is a trolley stop right out front, so it is easy to get around town and see the sights from this resort hotel. The Sidney James is pet-friendly and features indoor and outdoor pools for guest enjoyment. Rooms also include private balconies that overlook the stream.

Guests can enjoy two outdoor pools, one indoor pool, and a hot tub and sauna complex located inside. There are meeting spaces available for corporate events, weddings, and other special occasions. The poolside cafe, located near the indoor pool, offers quick grab-and-go food options and snacks, refreshments, and more. The lodge also offers private picnic areas by the stream for those who want to enjoy all that the outdoors has to offer.

The Sidney James Mountain Lodge is an affordable Gatlinburg hotel that has plenty to keep guests entertained both during the winter and summer months. Along with parks and outdoor activities, downtown Gatlinburg also hosts plenty of restaurants, shops, and attractions worth checking out. Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies is here, as is Bubba Gump’s Shrimp Company. The lodge is also close to Ober Gatlinburg amusement park, Dollywood, Dixie Stampede, and the Gatlinburg Space Needle.
