Wonderful!

This was my first time at Gatlinburg River Inn after years of coming to the Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge area. The staff was friendly and helpful, the room was comfortable and clean, and the property was gorgeous. A wonderful central location to the Gatlinburg Parkway and only about 15 minutes from Pigeon Forge. Would highly recommend!!

We loved our stay. The only problem was parking due to a near by restaurant using hotel parking. Other than that it was very clean, quiet, and loved the peaceful view or sound of the river. Nice firepit area to smoke and relax near the hotel. Id stay again for sure!!
