"River Edge Inn, Gatlinburg - A Perfect Pit Stop on Our Road Trip!"

Reviewed September 21, 2025

We stayed at the River Edge Inn for one night during our two-week road trip. Pros: Easy, Quick Check-In: From the moment we arrived, the check-in process was a breeze. Complimentary Parking: This was a huge plus! Gorgeous Setting: The hotel is beautifully located, just near the river, with lovely views. It felt so peaceful, and the atmosphere was perfect for winding down after a day of travel. Close to Main Street: The location couldn't be better ,just a short walk to the Main Street where all the action is. We were able to easily explore the local shops, restaurants, and attractions. Big, Comfortable Room with Balcony: Our room was spacious and well-appointed, with a lovely balcony.It was cozy, clean, and the bed was super comfortable, and everything was spotless. Cons: Grab-and-Go Breakfast: While the breakfast was a nice touch, it was more of a grab-and-go style, which was a bit disappointing. We would have preferred a sit-down breakfast, though we understand this could be due to space limitations or other factors. This was one of the best hotels we stayed in during our two-week road trip. The combination of a fantastic location, great amenities, and a beautiful setting made for a memorable stay. We would definitely recommend River Edge Inn to anyone passing through Gatlinburg!
