We had a wonderful time at Osito Lodge. The property was perfect for our two families. We explored the Smokies, hiked, fished, and did a lot of relaxing at the lodge. There was plenty of room for us to spread out, we enjoyed the deck and the hot tub. The kitchen was very well stocked and we ate in almost every night. Thanks to SMR and the owners for a wonderful stay!
