We had such a GREAT time at Under Canvas in TN. The staff is amazing and the environment so comfortable and inclusive. We loved our accommodations and fun on-camp activities, and more importantly met really lovely families with whom we connected and will stay in touch.

The experience reminded me of summer camp. It was pleasant to be in a beautiful and relaxing place. It was refreshing to play and enjoy without technology.

The kids had a blast meeting and playing with the other families. It rained a bit, but the tents stayed dry and staff worked hard to dry the outside areas and restart the outdoor fires when weather permitted.

Great place for pseudo-camping families.
We had a wonderful stay here with our family. Everything was very clean, activities were fun, and the staff was extremely friendly. I have to also mention that the food while expensive, was very delicious. We will be looking to stay here, or at another Under Canvas, soon.

We had the best time during our trip. This was our first experience with Under Canvas and we loved everything about it! The location is beautiful, dining was wonderful, they are very dog friendly, and we loved the staff! We really enjoyed the ambiance at night...live music, a big open sky, and cozy campfires! We will definitely be back!

Under Canvas was an excellent glamping experience. The property is very well maintained and has all necessities. The interiors in the tents are well planned and made the stay comfortable and peaceful. The shared bathrooms were clean. Staff is sweet and friendly. I would definitely recommend to book this place without any hesitation.

Tents are too close to each other and to the car path. A lot of noise and light pollution.

Loved my stay here for our anniversary, it was peaceful and very eco-friendly which was very important to me. We really hope to visit the other locations around the US! We really liked all of the eco friendly products, but I really wish the same would be applied to the clothes they sell (they sell lululemon when they are not eco friendly when there are other US brands that are ir. Wolven).

This was the most adorable place to relax and unwind. The food was incredible, and the tent was cozy. There is no wifi, which I was fine with. However, there was a family with two little children, and I could tell they were really struggling without entertainment for the kids.

Thought I'd try something different. The concept is unique, but the actual tent is a little spartan for my taste. I don't care about living out of the suitcase with no place to hang cloths up. No cell phone signal or internet but they at least tell you that. Pretty costly for what is offered. Just not my cup of tea but others may enjoy the lifestyle and being so remote. The staff was terrific, and the public shower area was clean and pleasant. The kitchen and dining looked nice but I didn't dine there. I hadn't been to Gatlinburg area for many years, and it is a real tourist trap now. I won't be back.

Not a quiet experience in the woods
If you are looking for a quiet experience in the woods this is not the place to go. Screaming kids the whole time and staff riding around on loud ATV's constantly. The tents are VERY close together and you can hear everything. Loud as the city until quiet hours start at 10pm. Will never stay here again. Way over priced.

Disappointing stay.
This place calls itself a small luxury hotel. No luxury here.
We had a suite - the amenities/furniture on the website are not what you get. No daily housekeeping. Apparently, it's available at the guests' requests, but no-one informed us of that. Room seemed dirty and we even wondered if the sheets were fresh at arrival. The staff is clueless in terms of service. No internet so you have to ask for advice, but most have no knowledge of local area. Restaurant is basic. No eco-water bottles. The drive is 30 mins to the national park and not much to do at the property.
It could be wonderful with a caring, knowledgeable staff, internet at least in the common area so that one can plan activities outside of the camp, having a yoga instructor or hiking guide on site, better restaurant offerings. At a minimum, each room should have a map of the national park and a handbook of what is available to do in the Smoky Mountains since there is no internet available.
I could go on. Very disappointing.
