We read that this was a "no-frills" motel. The only things we saw as "no-frills" were that it was older and not cookie-cutter, but refurbished; and that the room did not have a blow dryer...two things we could live without! As a family-owned motel, the staff was the very personable family. It was minutes to the train, restaurants, storytelling, hiking, and Bryson City downtown; but better yet it has the river for a backyard! Maybe the "No-Frills" is the reasonable price.

The room and bathroom were small and we found a worm crawling on the wall. We came back to room after going to dinner and there had been nothing done to the room. Bed was unmade and no clean wash cloths or towels.

The rooms has a fresh makeover -tidy, clean, everything you needed for an overnight stay. Enjoyed sitting outside and watching the river.

Cute small family owned motel right on the river. Each room has a small outdoor area with a charcoal grill. Rooms are clean and have a small fridge and micro. Would stay again.

Definitely a hidden little gem. I typically stay in larger, name brand hotels, but decided to focus on location for this trip. Being able to see other people’s reviews has given me confidence to choose hotels that I would normally pass right by. I’m so glad we did for this one. The hotel is tiny, maybe 10 rooms. Most of them right along the river. The rooms themselves are actually quite large. In addition to the 2 double beds, we had room for a double air mattress so that my kids could each have their own bed. The river is right behind the hotel. They have small tables and chairs setup on the river with small grills available. The owners were there and helped answer a question. This hotel might not impress your friends on social media like the Ritz Carlton, but a great little place to stay.

Very clean room. View was wonderful! Owner on site was kind and accommodating as well as hard working to maintain the rooms and grounds. We were very pleased with our stay!

Riverbend is no frills lodging right on the bank of the Tuckaseegee River and that makes it about perfect. The room is comfortable and has everything you need. Sit out on the riverside and enjoy.

The property is located on the bank of the river with nice views of the water, wildlife & sunsets from the rooms & decks. There are chairs, tables, grills for using during your stay. The owner also makes beautiful jewelry that is displayed & sold in the office.

Very quaint place. Our room was on the River. Beautiful view with seating and a grill there as well. Staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms were recently redone. Very comfortable and quiet. Parking lot was gravel which didn’t bother us but some might not like. We enjoyed our stay! I would give an overall A .

This is a small quaint motel located on the Tuckaseegee river. At first we didn’t know if we had a bad move or a good one. But this place has been well taken care of and it was very clean. We were very happy with our stay there. Beds weren’t that great but they weren’t on the other end of the spectrum either. I would absolutely stay there again.

This is a very small mountain motel. It's not fancy, but it's very right for its setting. You have a nice place to sit and watch the lazy river roll by, they allow grilling. It's clean and the rooms are nice. The downside is the rooms are a bit small and the walls are thin. But given the price, I was more than happy with my stay!
