First time staying at the River Edge Inn, Would definitely consider this property again on our next Gatlinburg stay. River Edge Inn is a great mix of older/classic Gatlinburg hotel but rooms are very well updated. Experience is based on a visit Sunday - Thursday in early December. Pros - Off the main Parkway so it’s quiet but still close enough for easy walkable access to anything in Gatlinburg. - Rooms are nice, updated and very well maintained despite being an older property. - Easy on-site parking. - I like the way they do housekeeping. Hang cards are provided where you check off what items you need and what time you want items to be delivered (or can pick up in the office). Items to note (can’t consider them cons) - Breakfast is grab and go muffins, cereal, juice/milk, etc. They are very open on this so wasn’t a surprise. If you want a hot breakfast, we got to enjoy Crockett’s and Flapjacks (twice) for breakfast, highly recommend both. - Office isn’t staffed 24/7 so they have processes and procedures if you need to check in off hours or need to contact the property in an emergency. We checked in during normal business and there was no need for any emergency contact so can’t speak to that, but they do send out a message if you expect to check in outside of normal business hours.

Thanksgiving getaway
Lots of space in an excellent location close to the river. Comfortable beds and clean linens. We had a small dog and this was a good option for that situation. Somewhat dated fixtures. Fridge was a bonus but the Keurig did not work correctly. You have to order your replacement towels and other items for either delivery within a certain time or for pick up at the front desk. Not exactly convenient.

Thanksgiving in the heart of Gatlinburg
The room was great. Very Clean and comfortable. The staff was always friendly and helpful. The view of the skybridge and mountain side was perfect from our balcony. The location was perfect and with an entrance off River Road much easier to get in and out of Gatlinburg when traffic was heavy. We will certainly stay again. My only complaints are that the bed was very noisy anytime you moved and you couldnt shower without water getting everywhere, but those are minor and easily fixable, put a shower curtain in the shower and maybe a rug under the bed. Possibly set up the smart tvs with netflix and hulu or prime so guests can easily login. All in all it was a great trip and a wonderful stay.

It was rather expensive for the room. It had a squeaky bed and no bolt lock. It had a different picture on the hotels.com website. I would have never paid that much for that room other wise. The lady at the front desk was very nice.

Terrible housekeeping and upkeep on rooms.
We have been staying here for 5 years, and always pleased with the experience. However, this time was terrible. We brought friends, and both rooms were filthy, and very run down and unkept.

Its an older property and showing some wear and tear. But there is someone always sweeping and cleaning. Room was clean and good size. Not sure about table with stools for some people may not be comfortable or accessible. Loved the fireplace and I personally liked that it had no carpet. Staff was friendly and attentive.
