RIVERHOUSE AT THE PARK Gatlinburg Tennessee

[@hayyarbrough]

I love this place been going to it for years.. ever since I was a kid all the way to now and I'm 58 years old... I'm going to go back soon .. I got stage 4 cancer and I really got to get back there... The ruins above the office they're huge... But I can walk right out of there go under the bridge on ski mountain road and fish have a great time.... I just love that place thank you for showing that place has been heavy on my heart for a long time

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Yes get back down here Gary. And when you do please give us a shout when you get to town.

[@michaeltirjan4698]

So you can fish in the stream behind the hotel? I have all my licenses and trout stamp.

[@mistysissell9467]

Loved how big the room was Can’t believe they took the hot tub away . 🤠👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@sanakester7101]

We might stay there now that you've shown us the perks. Older sometimes is better! ❤

[@presleygirlsfarm4716]

So our family stayed here and enjoyed it, and came back Saturday mother's day weekend. After the aquarium, stopped off at the chicken guy right before closing. Heading back to the Riverhouse, we noticed alot of people all dressed up walking the streets, famous people?? No. Somewhere around the space needle we seen someone famous, we screamed but they didn't hear us because they were driving past but it was ....The Smoky Mountain Family!! We look for white jeeps everywhere we go even in NC. Every white jeep is The Smoky Mountain Family to our girls. Thanks for putting out good stuff for us to enjoy!

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

😂 awww that’s the sweetest!!! So sorry we missed you

[@kimwhite6256]

I love that it is not updated and all fancy. I feel more at home in places like this and I feel I can relax and enjoy myself. I also love that they bring your breakfast to you and you can enjoy it in your room. Thank you for the review.

[@joetackett5238]

Very nice place. Thank you all for the reviews

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Thanks so much for watching Joe!

[@johnlongdick9569]

The donuts sealed the deal for me. Classic. I will stay there should I ever visit.

[@vegasstoker9647]

I have to have a good breakfast in the morning. I think all hotels should offer one. Still a charming old place.

[@jodypugh3366]

Nice Hotel!! Very clean is what's important to me,no matter the age of the hotel.Thanks for sharing!!!

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Always exceptionally clean! Great staff. Thanks as always!

[@kencombs9098]

Oh no, you guys let the secret out. Now everyone will be going there lol. We have been staying there since the 1990’s. Love it.

[@CaboWabotv]

Perfect location. I love getting up early, having coffee and a donut, and then strolling the Gatlinburg Trail. No worries about having to find parking. Also, bring your mountain bike...this Trail allows bicycles.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Yes it absolutely does. And one of the two trails in the park that allows dogs. Out of everywhere we’ve stayed, Riverhouse is still, hands down, our favorite! Thanks as always Cabo!

[@CaboWabotv]

@@SmokyMountainFamily Riverhouse and Zoder's are my favorites. Both are old school with balconies over the river. RIverhouse gives you coffee and donuts and Zoder's gives you wine, cheese, and cookies. They are at opposite ends of Gatlinburg, so I alternate my 2 annual stays to concentrate and explore each end of the strip.

[@estone9612]

My wife and I only live about 1.5 hours away so we seldom spend the night but, while taking a multi day mini vacation we decide to give this place a one night stay on the way home. It does live up to how you described it; it may be slightly old school but the rooms are outstanding and probably as clean as any hotel anyplace! The room prices differ based on the time of year but I doubt you can find an unusually large room with a balcony, gas fireplace, fridge, large walk in shower, jetted tub for this price and be this clean. This hotel and all the staff are outstanding.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

We are convinced it’s the best value around. Exceptionally clean. And this is only further established as we review other hotels. Thanks for sharing and watching!

[@Chris.1127.]

Thank you for the videos. We love them we. We just got done eating our doughnuts and absolutely love this place thanks again

[@elissarobertson1622]

We live in Fl. and our 3 children grew up enjoying The Riverhouse, each summer for a week in the mountains. They are grown now and scattered across the U.S. Last month we decided to meet at The Riverhouse in December, and relive our memories. They are traveling from Montana, Oregon and Florida and we would never think of staying anywhere else. We even have our rooms side by side on the creek, just like the good old days.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

That’s how we are Elissa we probably do a terrible job at other hotel reviews because i cant adjust my mind to stop thinking we should be at Riverhouse lol

[@ms.tep_]

I love that they have the jetted tubs or a jacuuzi....whatever you call them. So cool!

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Same we love the bathroom here

[@alexandriahenderson6680]

I've been goin 2 the River Chase for years too now thx 2 my dad & I'm from Chattanooga Tn but I'm a huge fan of coming there & will continue coming bk..especially 4 the location & those fire donuts 🔥

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

The donuts are certainly fire. Love this place. Thanks so much for watching!

Beautiful hotel thanks for sharing 👍

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Thanks again guys!

[@bradschoppman]

Thanks for sharing! We will have to give this a try sometime 😊

[@patsygailtaylor835]

We have stayed at Riverhouse at the Park since 1985. It was just a few years old. Our first visit was our honeymoon. The staff is great and I have become friends with the maids. They clean the rooms spotless. The rooms are very large. We average at least coming to Gatlinburg 2 times a year always for New Year’s Eve and we always stay at Riverhouse at the Park. Very rustic. I highly recommend this place. Oh, they also have balconies, a lot of the rooms are on the river, very nice and peaceful. You are also on the edge of The Great Smoky Mountains. Last hotel before you enter the National Park. The are located on the corner of Ski Mountain Road and River Road.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

It’s our favorite!! I (Brittany) have been coming with my grandparents since I was a kid and couldn’t agree more

[@sandyspassions]

Good review. Thanks for sharing.

[@deborahquinn483]

Thank you so much for this video. I love Gatlinburg, but I can not afford Margarittaville. That price point AND to be on the strip is fabulous. I will definitely look them up when I get up there again.

[@NancyPierceStudio]

This is a great budget friendly option. The value for the price is awesome. Thanks. This is what I was talking about. I really appreciate this review.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

For sure! This has been our go-to for many years now. Highly recommend! Thanks again!

[@kristinlanders1481]

The glenstone lodge is my moms tradition. We stayed there last April and we had a lot of fun we were in the same room as y'all were i think or the ine right next to it. The room was very clean when we stayed and i totally agree with what tiegan said about the chlorin in the pool. We swam in the indoor pool and actually moved rooms to one down at the bottom next to the pool and the chlorine smell is A LOT! But all in all its a fun hotel. They do have breakfast now and i loaded my plate up to the gills. I remember a lot of fresh fruit being on the breakfast buffet and theh have an italian restaurant there as well. Were staying at the Westgate smoky mountain resort next month so im excited to see if my mom changes her tradition. 😂

[@mom234ever3]

We’re traveling to Gatlinburg, from Texas, in October. We’ve already made our reservation, but when we return, this hotel is where I’d pick. It looks great and those donuts look delicious.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

They are so good! Thanks for watching as always!

[@1CathyHendrix]

I feel the same way about Twin Mountain in Pigeon Forge. Awesome place to stay. After we first found it...we have kept going back for years.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Yes All about the Smokies did a great review there! Thanks as always Cathy!

[@presleygirlsfarm4716]

Just want to give you a big THANK YOU for making this video. Because of your video and great review, we recently went and stayed here the weekend of November 20th for our oldest daughters birthday. We have two old soul daughters and we all completely fell in love with the place. We come to this area several times a year and this is now a favorite place to stay. The rooms are clean as can be and very large. Loved the private balcony overlooking the river and the staff was great. We love hiking so a big plus was that it was right next to the park. Also can't say enough about the doughnuts, we are still thinking about them. Was sure to tell them that you sent us, and making reservations this weekend cause we can't wait to go back. Want to thank you so much cause we probably wouldn't of known about this place had it not been for you. Love your family and watching your videos.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Aww that’s awesome. My grandpa took me here when I was little and we have been coming here or cabins after that (until moving here of course) so glad you enjoyed

Hey Guys, I just wanted to say THANK YOU for this vlog! I am sitting on the balcony over the Little Pigeon River as I type this comment. We have been staying right across the street and paying twice the money for years just for a place to lay our heads at night. This place has everything you need at a very reasonable rate, very clean and the donuts are great! Thanks again!

Great videos guys, we've watched dozens of them and still watching. You mentioned at the end of another video that it might be time to do a new video of Riverhouse. Please do! Because of this video, we are SERIOUSLY considering staying at Riverhouse this September. Maybe they would let you do a walk through of some other rooms? Maybe one of the king rooms with the jacuzzi in the room? Looking foward to more!

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

We need to get back down to the Riverhouse and do it again. Definitely recommend a stay here. Thanks so much for watching!

I'll definitely have to try this hotel out. Love the location. Never have stayed there. I'm with brittany, I've never seen a pool that was truly heated. Even at dreammore, as much as they cost, I was so disappointed that I could not get in the pool because the water was freezing at the indoor pool. Not a fan of the paneling but I could tolerate it with the cleanliness and the location of the hotel. Thanks for the review

[@dpmart3275]

It’s maybe 100 feet from the strip right behind the last parking lot before enter the park. Next to Bearskin Lodge, Ole Dads Country Store and Nantahala Outdoor Center. There is no signs or anything else recommending a tip but, as you know, tipping is classy lol. Hands down our favorite place to stay when we vacationed here

[@AngelGranni]

I just now figured how to make comment. I've been watching y'all for a while now. I'm loving the hotel reviews. So happy to see this one. Needing an affordable place in Gatlinburg. I'm so scared to try new places. I worry they aren't clean enough for me. But I trust Brittany. If she says it's clean, then it's clean. Can't wait to go here. My problem is trying to walk places. I have problems being able to breath if there's much hill. I'd do more in Gatlinburg if the parking wasn't so dang expensive. What is fun that I could probably walk to from this hotel? What restaurants are close. Need a get a way with a friend mid September. We have done most everything in P.F. I want to try Gatlinburg, but on social security retirement budget it real tight. What are some good things?

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Catching up on comments! This hotel is just off the strip in Gatlinburg so just about anything there is in walking distance. Calhoun’s, Cherokee Grill, Ober Gatlinburg, The Peddler, Big Daddy’s, are all within a block from here! Thanks so much for watching!

They do have adjoining rooms at Riverhouse. We love it there. Always so clean and the location is hard to beat. There are also around 15,000 rental cabins in Sevier County to choose from. We uploaded a video a few weeks ago on a place called Big Bear Lodge that might suit your family. Thanks for watching.
