The Sidney James Mountain Lodge is located on a side street in the heart of the Smokies with a mountain stream in the back. It is within walking distance to downtown Gatlinburg. The walk downhill to the town was nice, but going uphill to the hotel after walking around all day in town, was a challenge for the two RV Gypsies. However, the free Gatlinburg trolley stops right at the front door of the hotel. However, there is no written or timely schedule for the trolley, so sometimes it can be a short wait and sometimes it can be a long wait for the trolley.

The outdoor pool was not in use because it was cold outside. The indoor pool had a small "swim through cave" and a small hot tub on the left side.

There was also a pool side cafe,
but it was very small, with a limited menu.
