Romantic mountain getaway
The room was overall nice, and cozy. Older building, rehabbed to modern feel. Limited contact room service, no smoking close to the buildings, or on balconies.
Close to the river, and in reasonable walking distance of most places on the main strip. Close to the entrance to Smokey Mountains National Park.
Would stay there again

The staff is above and beyond and I was blown away at the quality of the room for the price. We took a short honeymoon and the fireplace in the room made for a perfect setting as well as the sound of the river right in front of the hotel! Withing elaking distance to anything in gatlinburg…..it was a perfect place for a mini-moon!!!!

River Edge Inn is a hidden gem in Gatlinburg. The location is tops for walking to places in town and saving on parking fees. This was the second time I have stayed here and will rack up more stays on future visits as thus place is tops!

Room was clean and the bed comfortable. Best part is it’s so close so you can walk to town and reasonably priced. Breakfast is just grab and go but ok. No complaints. Would stay again

River Edge Inn is a Bust
My wife and I began staying at River Edge Inn pre-Covid and loved it. But this doesn’t seem to be the same hotel post-Covid. My last two recent stays found equipment ( hair dryer & coffee maker) inoperative. When I reported the Kerig being inoperative the office manager implies I don’t know how to load the k cup. But what I dislike most is there being no housekeeping or resupplying your room without having to fill out a card, which in my case this week was misplaced by hotel staff. I also strongly dislike cold air blowing into the room from gaps under the door. I used to think this hotel was quaint and cute. Now I just think the hotel is cheap and outdated. I will not stay at River Edge Inn again in the future.
