I chose the Riverhouse Motor Lodge based on reviews here. It came down to choosing between this property and the "Park" one. The motor lodge won out since it was a little more secluded, nestled right at the base of the mountain, but only a short walk to downtown. We chose the renovated room with a fireplace, which was worth... more

We decided to go to Gatlinburg for a long weekend and looked on tripadvisor for reviews. I wanted a room that was quiest and had a nice view. After looking at the reviews, we settled in on the Riverhouse Motor Lodge. The property is on River street and is back from the road a few hundred yards. I already liked... more

This was our 3rd time staying at this hotel and we have always had a super experience. We reserved a king bedroom that has a separate bathroom (I like that).All the rooms are riverfront and it is so nice and peaceful out on the balcony.You feel like your out in the woods but you are only a short walk to... more

Booked into Riverhouse Motor Lodge for 3 days in the latter portion of July. Weather dealt 3 straight days of 90 percent humidity. Needless to say Gatlinburg lost much of its appeal...especially the parkway...just could not find the attraction in the overkill of ole time photo shops,cheap tee shirts,and cereal box souvenirs that abound on the parkway and even less... more

the room was great, very similar to what you would expect in a small chalet, very roomy. TV was small for such a large room. Breakfast was disappointing, I was expecting more for a Continential Breakfast than homemade donuts, coffee or orange juice, not exactly what a diabetic should have for breakfast. No bugs,no problems. more

My daughter and I just returned from a short stay at Riverhouse Motor Lodge. Thanks TripAdvisors for your help. The Riverhouse Motor Lodge was exactly what I was looking for. As a child (forty years ago) I went to Gatlinburg every fall, and this was a trip down memory lane. From the time I turned off River Road until we... more

What a delightful and peaceful place to stay in a city that tends to go overboard with touristy and often tacky nonsense. To get to the lodge, you drive over a bridge into a sanctuary set between the river and a mountain incline. When we first drove up to our room at the back of the lodge, the length of... more

We returned to the riverhouse motor lodge for our second time and it was even nicer thant he first. Our room was very spacious with a gas log fireplace that was very romantic. The bathroom/vanity area was large enough for several people to get ready with a private room for the tub and toilet and an extra sink. My favorite... more

The place was clean and well maintained. Staff was very courteous. The suprise was the heated outdoor swimming pool. It was the end of March with a warm spell and the pool was ready to go. That was an added fun addition for our grandkids. Staff provided extra towels for swimming pool use. Definitely be coming back. more
