It has been three years since we have been to the Riverhouse and nothing has changed. That is a very good thing. The place is very clean and comfortable. My wife is not a fan of dark paneling yet as she said,it works great for the Riverhouse. Going back in June. More

My husband and I have stayed at Riverhouse At The Park in Gatlinburg TN several times. This time we tried Riverhouse Motor Lodge on River Rd. Both of these hotels are practically the same, we personally like the large rooms and always request a room over the river which is nice. We opted not to pay the extra for a... More

I hate to even let the cat out of the bag about the Riverhouse. I have been visiting the Riverhouse for over 30 years with family. I travel alot for my job and have Diamond status with two major chains, and probably enjoy my stays at the Riverhouse more than most of the hotels I frequent with my travels. The... More

We loved the fireplace and the complimentary wood and fire starters. You don't find many places that replenish the wood within a cabinet that can be accessed within the room. As others have said, the balcony and creek view are relaxing amenities. Room service breakfast was simple yet super convenient. We would definitely return. More

We stayed at this lodge in September of 2011. We loved the place. It is like walking back in time when things were simple, clean, relaxing and worth the money you paid. We loved our balcony and how big the room was. The noise from the stream outside rocked us to sleep every night. Everyone was very friendly and we... More

This was our fifth year staying here. We love the wood burning fireplaces, the mountain stream, the seclusion you seem to have behind the trees and stream and yet you are only a few minutes walk away from downtown Gatlinburg. More

My husband and I decided at the last minute to take a weekend trip to Gatlinburg. We had not been there for a number of years and had remembered some of the hotels as not being the finest to say the least. We saw several reviews that were so complimentary of The Riverhouse Motor Lodge that we decided to take... More

Located within walking distance to most Gatlinburg attractions, our room was a clean and spacious 2 queen bedroom with fridge and microwave. The room was quiet and comfortable. Homemade doughnuts with a sweet glaze and coffee and/or orange juice in the morning were brought to your room minutes after you call in your order. Also, they have free wireless service... More

We spent 2 nights in Gatlinburg and picked the Riverhouse based on Tripadvisor reviews. We were not disappointed. The place is older, but the rooms are clean with comfortable beds. The bathrooms have been modernized. Every room has a balcony overlooking the treelined river, so it has a more secluded feel. The main tourist area is just one street over,... More

We've been long time patrons of Riverhouse. My dad used to take us there when we were kids. He's long gone, but I continue to enjoy it with my children now. My understanding it is still owned by the man who built it back in the 70's. The place appears nothing special, it's just classic rustic Gatlinburg ma and pa... More
