My wife and I have been staying at the Riverhouse since 1973. It is clean and well maintained and the primary staff members have been there for years and are very knowledgeable and helpful. It is quiet with balconies on the river. Nothing like that river sound for a good nights sleep. If desired, your room can have a real... More

Stayed here for 2 nights this past weekend and what we got was about what we expected. We had a 2 queen room and it was a good sized room. The room was clean and the balcony over the river was awesome. It was relaxing to hear the river flowing at night. The room is dated but the bathroom was... More

The rooms at the Riverhouse Motor Lodge are roomy, clean and each room has a view of the river. This is one of the few family owned hotels left in Gatlinburg, and is worth checking out. Location is great.... Not right on the main strip, but just a short (1 block) walk. A+!

I,ve never slept to the sounds of a river roaring by my door, but I got lucky at Riverhouse Motorlodge. We left the door open all night just for the sound & woke up to watch the sun hitting the water on the Pigeon River. Coffee and doughnuts were fresh & hot too. Another plus was the 2 big comfy...

Returned back to hotel after 20 + years. We travel to Pidgeon Forge - Gatlingburg at least once per year due to close distance. We normally stay at the larger hotels since we generally know what we will be getting and often trips are planned at last minute. This motor lodge was special and we will plan ahead next time...

This was our first visit to the Riverhouse, but will not be our last. Excellent location and service. Our room had a balcony overlooking the river and a wood fireplace. The fireplace was fully stocked each day. This is an excellent property to relax, enjoy the area and recharge. Continental breakfast delivered to room was also a plus.

Pleasantly surprised with our weekend stay. I normally would stay at the more well known chain hotels. We made a last minute plans to visit Gatlinburg and found the Riverhouse Motor Lodge. The room was large, little outdated, however it was clean and comfortable. Bathroom was recently remodel. Balcony overlooking the river, wood burning fireplace and homemade hot donuts delivered...

Walk in check in was fast. Staff was friendly and helpful. The room had rustic cabin-like feel to it. All rooms look out to the river. There are 3 options: no fireplace, gas fireplace or wood burning fireplace. We chose no fireplace. The room was clean and comfortable. Room had fridge and microwave. Did not eat the complimentary continental breakfast.... More
