River Lodge

This is by far my favorite cab in ever. We have stayed in about 8-10 different cabins over the last 14 years. This is far and above my favorite. The layout was good. The size was great for the part of my group that went. THE PORCHES!!!!!!!!! I could've spent my entire vacation on the porches. The view of the river from the porches, the furniture was comfortable for long times, the different porches for different times of the day or weather was phenomenal. I would book this cabin year after year other than if my entire family came then it wouldn't be big enough.I do have a few very small complaints. #1. One of the main reasons I booked this cabin was for the outside fireplace to read my Bible beside each morning. There was no info about it only being usable during winter season. Huge disappointment, but not a game changer. If I had known ahead of time, I would still have booked. It was just a disappointment to expect something that was used as a selling point only to not have use of it. #2. The "theater room" IS NOT a theater room. It is a super nice TV viewing room. It only has Direct TV and no WiFi to that bldg. Once again not a deal breaker, just a disappointment to tell my kids something to only be able to watch Direct TV. We did not use the TV room for the entire family. The only one to use it was the one sleeping over there in that bldg. #3. When arriving late on Sunday evening service help wasn't available until Mon morn.

My favorite cabin ever!!! The porches and the view of the river!!!! Would definitely book this cabin again and again. THE PORCHES!!!!! One screened in and one open... The view of the river!!! The cabin was so nice. It was the perfect size for the crew we brought. It was so comfortable. The beds were nice. The privacy was exactly what we look for when we stay in a cabin. I cannot say enough great things about this cabin. There were only a very few issues at all and it wasn't with the cabin it self. It was perfect for our trip. My only issues were; the outside fireplace was the selling point only behind the river and the porches. I wish we had been told that it was only for winter seasons. The "theater room" IS NOT a theater room. It is a very very nice TV room. Only Direct Tv avaiable with no WiFi in that bldg. WiFi was weak. The house next door had more strength than we had inside our cabin. We needed help upon our arrival (Sun eve) with the "theater room" and were told that they could only send someone out the next day. They were kind, but not very apologetic for our inconvenience. They did come out the next morning and while there I asked what day trash pick up was. The maintenance worker told me that he would tell them to come out immediately, but possibly the next morning. Nope, I had to call again on Wednesday to get it picked up as it was piling up everywhere. Those are not deal breakers in the least just a little disappointing to be let down by the surprises of the fireplace and the TV room. WOULD DEFINITELY BOOK AGAIN AND AGAIN, especially knowing now what to expect from the fireplace, Theater room, Wi-Fi, and call center.

Very nice. Right by the river. Host very responsive to concerns when they arise. Would recommend this place to anyone wanting to get away and close proximity to Gatlinburg as well.

Love the location of this house in proximity to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We also love it bing on the river.

- Posted: 3/22/2025

We had the absolutely best time here. There is plenty of room and a lot of outdoor space. It is close enough to downtown Gatlinburg but far enough to way to give you the secluded vibe. We are excited to come back in the summer. The rental company was very helpful with all of our questions. We will be back!

It was wonderful. Very clean and beautiful. My only issue was that we took a walk and the president of the home owners association and his wife, very rudely and aggressively told my husband and elderly father that they were not welcome to pick up a few pieces of wood for the fire pit. They threatened to call the sheriff. That was unnecessary. They kindly put it down. We thought it was all part of the area.

Excellent property. Away from everything. Perfectly located on the Little Pigeon River, not far from “town”, but still close enough to go anywhere, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Dollywood, in just minutes. Awesome communication with the host. You won’t be disappointed.

- Posted: 10/13/2024

Excellent location!!! Not far from the city stuff, but so quiet and peaceful. Awesome house with everything you need. You won’t be disappointed with Riverlodge!

The River Lodge was an awesome cabin. Location wasn't to far from Gatlinburg. It was a beautiful setting with the little pigeon river running right behind it. Highly recommend this cabin. There were 12 of us, more then enough room.

Its a beautiful home, very clean, spacious, had everything we needed. The river is just amazing, perfect for the kids to play in. The porches are lovely and it was just so nice to sit in the rockers and listen to the river. I really enjoyed the hot tub after walking around the water park all day. I would love to come again.

- Posted: 7/20/2024

Great views and great cabin.

- Posted: 7/15/2024

So thankful our family of 14 chose this special place to stay. The home was spacious but warm and inviting. The back porches brought thoughtful conversations. The beautiful flowing waters brought hours of wading and casting fun to our grands! We also enjoyed Dollywood, Cades Cove and The Titanic nearby. Our family all agreed to make this place a "keeper" for sure!

Beautiful area! Great place for a large group!

What an amazing week. The River Lodge cabin was perfect for our family! The cabin was clean, perfect amount of space, grate entertainment with pool table/movie room/hot tub, amazing relaxation with coffee in the patio listening to the river. Kids loved playing in the river and there was a bonus area about 10 yards down that was like a little beach area deep enough to swim and tie up tubes and relax. Could not recommend this place more. We had a couple small things that needed addressed during the week and the Stony Brook staff answered immediately, were friendly, and came out quickly to fix things. Will definitely be going back again!! Also, great little BBQ place not far (Hungry Bear BBQ) and the best little coffee shop Painted Bear coffee that had a signature latte that was incredible and my kids loved their lemonade smoothies on a hot day.

My family and myself were completely amazed at how beautiful and peaceful this place was. Perfect for a big family vacation. I would definitely say it has been the best cabin I have ever rented in the mountains. Absolutely breathtaking and clean. Very close to attractions and restaurants. Stony Brook Cabins was so helpful and nice. They made it so easy for check in and out. I would definitely rent this cabin again.

It was ok

Great place!

This location has beautiful scenery. The river right behind the cabin is amazing. It’s not far off the beaten path but enough to where a family could enjoy some relaxation. The Home Theater room is awesome too!

After a 12 hour drive from Louisiana, we were greeted by the sound of the creek as stepped out of our vehicle. What a treat! The cabin was beautiful. The property was so peaceful and quiet. It’s a “short” drive to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge. All the main attractions are about a 20 minute drive. There are a few convenience stores and restaurants that are only a few minutes away. The cabin has plenty of room to stretch out. Coffee on the screened in back porch overlooking the creek, need I say more…There were a couple of small maintenance issues that needed to be addressed and the host were super quick to get them resolved. This was the recharge that our family needed. Thanks for sharing your beautiful property!

There was one good and one bad review prior to staying here & honestly - I don’t have one bad thing to say about this stay! We are from the area, but live out of state now and I’ll be recommending this place to everyone! SO much space and VERY clean. *If I did have any issue, it was addressed super quick. I highly recommend this cabin and the host! We will be back several times and plan to stay here.

- Posted: 10/30/2023

We absolutely loved this property! Beautiful home in the most perfect location. I hated to leave!

- Posted: 10/21/2023

Loved the space, the cabin, the Stream was my favorite exceeded my expectations ??

- Posted: 10/6/2023

Out stay was so peaceful, waking up to the river sounds made it all worth it my family and I enjoyed every single moment Communication with host was great fast response thank you so much for this gem

Beautiful home right on the river. We had a family of six, and such a great stay, with room for plenty more. Hot tube and back deck patios were our favorite spots.

- Posted: 8/6/2023

Very clean. Customer Service was excellent. The kitchen was well stocked with good dishes and pots. We had an issue with the water in the refrigerator door needing a new filter and they were addressing it. Would definitely stay here again

- Posted: 7/15/2023

We had a wonderful week at the cabin. The views are beautiful from the porch, where we spent most of our time. even in June, it was cool enough to open the doors in the evening and morning to hear the sounds of the river no matter where you were in the home. It was such a peaceful, relaxing vacation that I hope we are able to return. I am so glad that the owners decided to share this little spot with the world. It was a huge blessing to our family and gave my soul some much needed rest.

- Posted: 6/16/2023

Clean cabin, excellent service! Will stay with this company again!

I think this was our 6th year in a different property managed by Stony Brook. You've never disappointed!

- Posted: 6/4/2023

We have stayed at quite a few VRBO homes. This one was the best. Beds were all comfy, everything in the house worked and the house was supplied with everything you need. I would recommend new pots and pans. Everything we cooked stuck to the bottom of the pans. We loved having the screened room to sit by the river. If we had any issues (which were minor) they were taken care of right away. The house even has internet now. The location is very convenient to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We would stay here again.

- Posted: 4/23/2023

We had a few minor issues and they were taken care of before we returned from our outing.

- Posted: 4/8/2023

Beautiful property!! We loved listening to the river flow. The home was spacious and very accommodating to our group. We will be back.
