Love this place!!
The price is so affordable and we loved having a balcony to sit and enjoy the babbling stream and lush green landscape.
The staff is very friendly and accomodating.
Hillbilly Golf is across the street so we always go there when we visit Gatlinburg.
I highly recommend this place!

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!!

My only complaint was the weather. It rained all 3 days. However, the comfort of the room was spot on. Very roomy and we loved the balcony overlooking the river. Breath taking.

Hotel was clean and Ok. Breakfast is blah better off going to a McDonalds or Dennys. After check ot had a surprise charge to my credit card for 8.58 but no mention at check out nor invoice for the funds. It is probably a charge for something stupid but should have been disclosed.
